About this project

gif-maker-video-editor is a standalone Windows utility for converting video files (such as MP4, MOV, WEBM, and MKV) into GIF format. It provides a visual editor to replace command-line workflows, focusing on output quality and file size control. Key capabilities include: - Frame-Accurate Trimming: A scrub bar that allows users to set start and end points down to the millisecond. - Visual Editing Tools: Support for cropping, reframing, and adding text or caption overlays with drag-to-position handles. - Optimization Engine: An adaptive color-quantization palette engine to reduce banding and a live file-size estimator to help users meet platform upload limits. - Playback Control: Real-time looped previews and speed ramping to adjust the pace of segments within a clip. - Batch Processing: A queue system to export multiple clips sequentially using saved settings. The application is distributed as a standalone executable for Windows 10 and 11, requiring no additional runtime installations.
