gif to mp4 (i've seen read similar discussions)

[clouds321]

Want to convert GIFs to MP4, mainly for reddit, but also anywhere else that has has gifs.

I've seen other topics and suggestions but not exactly what i wanted.

Wanted it to be part of my .conf file, not an argument.

This bash command is exactly what I need and it converts every gif in a folder:

for i in *.gif; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -pix_fmt yuv420p -vf "scale=trunc(iw/2)*2:trunc(ih/2)*2" "${i%}.mp4"; done

After looking at some examples I managed to get this working, but it converts everything to mp4 even jpgs, how do I filter to only GIFs

    "postprocessor":
    {
        "gif to mp4":
        {
            "name": "exec",
            "async"  : false,
            "command": "ffmpeg -i {} -pix_fmt yuv420p -vf 'scale=trunc(iw/2)*2:trunc(ih/2)*2' {}.mp4 && del {}",
            "event"  : "after"
        }
    },

So my question how do I filter only gifs??? extension = gif or extension is gif????
it could also be -exec-after, to convert only after download completes

Oh and the && del {} part doesn't work either, the original gif files remained in the folder

Add "filter": "extension == 'gif'" to the post processor options.

Maybe because Windows's default shell does not support single quotes ' and command fails to properly execute? Try replacing them with double quotes \".

the filter worked!

Im on a Mac, took me a while to remember, but del is rm for me.

Now is all good, thanks!!!

And I think I will add this postprocessor to every extractor I have, just in case I found a gif.
