Comment (by slhck):

 Replying to [comment:1 Cigaes]:
 > FFmpeg has gained support for creating animated GIF

 AFAICT that has been around for quite some time and could be achieved by
 simply choosing an output file name without `%` syntax.

 No, because this creates JPEG images under a .gif extension. ffmpeg
 outputs:

 {{{
 Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (h264 -> mjpeg)
 }}}

 and if you inspect the files created:

 {{{
 ± % mediainfo output0118.gif
 General
 Complete name                            : output0118.gif
 Format                                   : JPEG
 File size                                : 38.0 KiB

 Image
 Format                                   : JPEG
 Width                                    : 1 280 pixels
 Height                                   : 720 pixels
 Color space                              : YUV
 Chroma subsampling                       : 4:2:0
 }}}
