Create an animated GIF thumbnail from a video? about paperclip-av-transcoder

It's possible using FFMPEG but no current support in Ruby AV gem.

I have been trying unsuccessfully to create an animated GIF from a video using FFMPEG settings. I have used the following settings so far. Any assistance would be much appreciated!

class CustomGif < ActiveRecord::Base

  has_attached_file :gif, styles: {
    original: {
      format: "gif",
      convert_options: {
        output: {
          t: "00:00:6.000"
        }
      }
    }
  }, :processors => [:transcoder]
  validates_attachment_content_type :gif, content_type: /\Avideo\/.*\Z/
end

When I run custom_gif = CustomGif.new(gif: params['video']), I receive the following output:

[AV] Running command: ffmpeg -ss 3 -i "/var/folders/7g/9142rygs6bngwl84c7bh4d6c0000gn/T/ac80cf3de4643bff7fec3a00dc9196d620160821-29940-1wvj48r.MOV" -f image2 -vframes 1 -t 00:00:6.000 -y "/var/folders/7g/9142rygs6bngwl84c7bh4d6c0000gn/T/ac80cf3de4643bff7fec3a00dc9196d620160821-29940-1wvj48r20160821-29940-1bfutyd.gif"

And, when running custom_gif.save, I receive the following error:
