I use ffmpeg on the command line. I created the preview GIF here (https://www.qbn.com/reply/41057... with this:
ffmpeg -ss 00:00:00 -to 00:00:05 -i input.mp4 -r 10 output.gif
The -ss and -to set the seconds to extract from the original video, and the -r sets the frame rate. I find lowering the frame-rate to at least 15 helps get the size down a lot.
I haven't explored the settings in depth but I assume there are ways of tweaking the output image quality more, possibly using the GIF equivalent of b-frames.
