+Animated GIF muxer.

+

+It accepts the following options:

+

+@table @option

+@item loop

+Set the number of times to loop the output. Use @code{-1} for no loop, @code{0}

+for looping indefinitely (default).

+

+@item final_delay

+Force the delay (expressed in centiseconds) after the last frame. Each frame

+ends with a delay until the next frame. The default is @code{-1}, which is a

+special value to tell the muxer to re-use the previous delay. In case of a

+loop, you might want to customize this value to mark a pause for instance.

+@end table

+

+For example, to encode a gif looping 10 times, with a 5 seconds delay between

+the loops:

+@example

+ffmpeg -i INPUT -loop 10 -final_delay 500 out.gif

+@end example

+

+Note 1: if you wish to extract the frames in separate GIF files, you need to

+force the @ref{image2} muxer:

+@example

+ffmpeg -i INPUT -c:v gif -f image2 "out%d.gif"

+@end example

+

+Note 2: the GIF format has a very small time base: the delay between two frames

+can not be smaller than one centi second.
