#4Please use silent HTML5 videos instead of animated GIFs wherever possible. They are much more bandwidth- and CPU-efficient. This site allows you to automatically upload/convert animated GIFs into that format: http://gfycat.com/
The links allow you to see the animated GIFs as well, if viewer's device doesn't support HTML5.

There's a drawback. Can we save these? Can we link directly to them?

Also Python, but uses VideoLan (VLC) to some extent to create really nifty Star Wars gifs.

Yes, if you right click (at least in Firefox) there is an option to download the WebM file. And you can get a direct link, although that doesn't really make sense, since if you're sending it to somebody, they probably want the option of watching the WebM version or the GIF version.

#8This is nifty! Though it's tempting to draft a GUI for it.

The same scripts will output videos for HTML5 if you replace the `to_gif` method by `to_videofile`:
clip.to_videofile('animation.mp4')
clip.to_videofile('animation.webm', codec='libvpx')
clip.to_videofile('animation.ogv',codec='libtheora')Re: Making GIFs From Video Files With Python
#10This is awesome and much easier than writing FFMPEG commands (which is what I do now). An enhancement could be adding voice to text.
