Play with GIFer

Requirements

GIFer is written in Python 2.7 and is not compatible with Python 3.x.

GIFer uses MoviePy to make GIF animations.

The GUI is made using PyQt4.

PIL (Python Imaging Library) is required to resize GIF animation.

Install Requirements

Install PyQt4

1. Install SIP.
2. Install PyQt4.

The compilation of PyQ4 and SIP may be buggy on Windows. You can choose to install Anaconda instead.

3. Install MoviePy, pip install moviepy.
4. Install Pillow (A PIL branch, recommended), pip install Pillow.

Run From Source

You don't need to pack GIFer into a executable to play with it.

Just run python gifer.py to start making GIFs.

You can choose to build a portable executable file whenever you want following the steps below..

Build

If you have not modified MoviePy using script files in ./scripts/, please remember to set __FRESH__ to True in build.py, this will inform GIFer that it's dealing with a freshly installed MoviePy module. GIFer will then modify MoviePy before building executable files and restore all changes after building. After this, just run:

python build.py

in the same directory of gifer.py.
