the GIF-quality isn't really an issue - but at high quality the file-size will increase dramatically! It's just as easy to create a movie from a series of JPGs (or other mime-type images): Making movies from image files

[SELECT ALL] Code:

mencoder "mf://*.jpg" -mf fps=10 -o test.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=msmpeg4v2:vbitrate=800
# OR
ffmpeg -r 10 -b 1800 -i %03d.jpg test1800.mp4

@D1441D3N7: this request is a bit hard to come by .. it requires quite a lot more effort - just think about it, you'll need to have the camera-POV move .. but if you're just using a consecutive iteration of screenshots as basis the sudden jumps in position will seem rather awkward.
It's not going to be much better even if the shots include intermediary positions.

Lol its D1551D3N7 1337 for Dissident.
I know it is I just thought it'd be cool like in some other videos Ive watched before like disasters played backwards to give the effect that the building is falling together.
But if you had a rectangular or square map it'd work fine Just place your camera at one side facing out and over the map. But ya that would take a while.
