## What it is
gifify is a shell script CLI that converts movies and screen recordings into GIFs. It supports options for output naming, cropping, framerate, playback speed, and looping.

## Use cases
- convert a screen recording into a gif
- make a gif to embed in a github issue or pull request
- create a gif to share in slack
- crop a video to a region and export as gif
- change the framerate or playback speed of a gif
- make a gif that loops a fixed number of times

## When to choose
- you want a quick, simple command-line way to turn mov recordings into gifs
- you frequently share screen recordings in Slack or GitHub
- you want a brew-installable tool with sensible defaults

## When to avoid
- you need fine-grained video editing or advanced gif optimization
- you need a GUI tool
- you need video formats other than gif as output
