Video or gif from still images
-
I have about 300 images that I want to combine together into a gif or video. I know there is a way to extract still images from a video in the camera roll, but is there a way to construct a video purely using still images? my ultimate goal is a .gif, but I can turn a video into a gif with an online tool. Any suggestions?

FWIW, the Workflow app (which I think is now free) has some actions for combining images into a GIF and converting a GIF to a video. I have no idea if there are any Python modules for working with GIFs that could be used in Pythonista. If there aren't and you really want to do this from Python, there are ways to interact between Pythonista and Workflow via the URL schemes. But depending on what you want to do, it might be easier to use Workflow for the entire process, instead of calling Workflow from Pythonista.

"Animated Gif.py" in "Examples/Misc" directory would combine images to gif. There does not seem to be a direct utility for combining images to video. As suggested by @dgelessus you may have to use workflow app for that.

I have found a module to do exactly that. I haven't tried it but it should work under Pythonista, as it only depends on PIL.
See https://gist.github.com/xyfeng/559e56401dee3eccfa23 -
It should be possible to use the included
images2gifmodule for creating an animated GIF from a sequence of images. You can find an example in the "Examples/Misc" folder ("Animated Gif.py"). -
Thanks everybody for your quick answers. I have another question, but I'll ask it in another thread.
