color_shuffle

Shuffles colors in gifs and outputs the recolored gif- this is a lot like Pixelsnort but in python and using gifs.

input

I found this bb-8 through google images

output

I promise you can make it look way cooler!

file directory

make a folder where your gif frames are gonna go while they get processed. Change your directory in your settings to reflect whatever you call the folder.

virtual environment

use a python virtual environment and install the requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

note: currently, there is some kind of bug with imageio reading in gif files. This commit fixes it. you can use pip to install that specific commit, I believe this is it: pip install git+git://github.com/imageio/imageio.git@7fa24ae6d4d99da669152ef5edcdefc295d6cc01

directions

• Alright, so run python extract_gif.py to split the gif by frames and save them (I found most of this code elsewhere)
• then python process.py to apply any cool color changes
• python stitch.py to put humpty dumpty back together again
• if you make something really cool, let me know

fun thing to note

I don't have any code that clears out the output folder. If you extract a gif with lots of frames, and then one with a few frames, it isn't going to delete the leftover frames.
