awesome script. note this relies on ImageMagick so you need to have that installed:
brew install ImageMagick

nice! very similar to the approach I took for https://intensify.pictures/
(https://github.com/cdanis/intensify.pictures)

Heck yeah, thanks for posting this!

Works well! I did run in to issues with the final gif being too large. If you run in to the same issues, add this after the cleanup on line 60.

# Optimise if file is too big
if [[ $(stat --format=%s "$gif") -ge 128000 ]]; then
  convert "$gif" -fuzz 80% -layers Optimize "$gif"
fi

Made an infinite.sh version adapted from this! Thank you! :) https://gist.github.com/martinb3/289e5e210e9b2f8bc495854fed702c8d

for reasons i still don't entirely understand, the script as it is now doesn't properly dispose of frames on my m1 max macbook pro (macos 12.4, imagemagick 7.1.0-29), resulting in this:

expand to see gif

however, if i modify line 57 by using set on the dispose setting like this:

convert -background none -set dispose Background -delay 1x30 -loop 0 "${frame}"-*.gif "$gif"

it works 🎉

I needed to make the adjustment above for my m1 mbp. Thanks, @lafentres!
