Consistently Size Down a GIF?

Mon Mar 22, 2021 1:04 am
I need to make a GIF down to a very specific size to use it in the modpack it's being made for. I can render it image by image, import it, and size each individually, but that takes forever and I'm worried I couldn't keep the scale consistent. Is there another way?

*it needs to be different dimensions than the original gif so I unfortunately can't just change the resolution while rendering

This is a common task for ImageMagick. I didn't specifically install this tool, but I found it in the dependencies. You may already have it installed, too.
This tool consists of several commands, we need "convert". In the command line we have to specify the original image and the necessary conversions, like this:
Code: Select all
convert source.gif -coalesce -resize 100x100 -deconstruct result.gif

Instead of 100x100, put the desired dimension. Now I checked this command, it worked fine!

Okay, I got the software but I can't seem to find the place where I need to put the command in. Any insight?

You run commands like this from the commandline.
