Script to convert .mov to .gif

I generated a shell script to take care of batch converting .mov files to .gif

ffmpeg -i 01-redirects-and-public-pages.mov -s 600x400 
-pix_fmt rgb24 -r 10 -f gif - | gifsicle --optimize=3 
--delay=10 > 01-redirects-and-public-pages.gif

Initially I was running the above on an individual basis. It wasn’t hugely time consuming, in comparison to all the other video work I was doing. Worth turning into a script though, just to stop the copy paste, so I changed it to the following:

for i in *.mov; 
do 
ffmpeg -i "$i" -s 600x400 
-pix_fmt rgb24 -r 10 -f gif - | gifsicle --optimize=3 
--delay=10 > "${i%.mov}.gif" ; 
done

Making the script has taken repetition away, a key component of working efficiently.
