## FAQ

### The generated GIFs are huge!
#### The generated GIFs are huge!

The GIF image format is very space inefficient. It works best with short video clips. Try reducing the dimensions, FPS, or quality.

### Can I contribute localizations?
#### How can I convert a sequence of PNG images to a GIF?

Install [FFmpeg](https://www.ffmpeg.org/) (with Homebrew: `brew install ffmpeg`) and then run this command:

```
TMPFILE="$(mktemp /tmp/XXXXXXXXXXX).mov"; \
ffmpeg -f image2 -framerate 30 -i image_%06d.png -c:v prores_ks -profile:v 5 "$TMPFILE" \
&& open -a Gifski "$TMPFILE"
```

Ensure the images are named in the format `image_000001.png` and adjust the `-framerate` accordingly.
