FFmpeg-mirror-video-and-convert-to-gif-batch-job

1. Creates a reversed copy of your original file.
2. Appends the reversed copy of the original to the video file.
3. Converts the combined video file to a gif.
4. Repeats this conversion for all video files in the folder using a batch file.

How it Works

convert.batch reads list.txt and parses every line containing <name>.<video type> to FFmpeg to do the listed conversions. The output would be the respective <name>.gif files.

Files will be converted to .mkv format before the conversion for a clearer and more consistent output. The .mkv files will be deleted after their conversion to .gif.

How to Use

1. Move both files convert.batch and list.txt to an empty new folder.
2. Move video files to the same folder.
3. Replace the contents in list.txt with the names of the video files to convert.
4. Open a cmd terminal in the folder.

cd <folder path>

5. Run the convert.bat.

convert.bat
