keep getting an error

[asafg84]

Hi, I keep getting this error when using gifify:

events.js:53 EventEmitter.prototype.emit = function emit(type) { ^ RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

I'm running your get started example.

I think it has to do with the ffmpeg module dependency because when im trying to convert via shell I also get an error:

$ gifify inputs/mov.webm -o outputs/mov.gif --resize 800:-1 [Error: Could not find ffmpeg on your system]

Which is odd because i installed ffmpeg and I can require it.

How can i make it work?

Thank You!

asaf can you provide me with:

• the JavaScript code you are using which use the gifify API
• the video file your are trying to convert to GIF

So that I can reproduce your problem, thanks

[asafg84]

Sure,

js code

var fs = require('fs'); var gifify = require('gifify'); var path = require('path'), input_path = './uploads', output_path = './outputs';

var input = path.join(input_path, 'toGif.webm'); var output = path.join(output_path, 'toGif.gif');

var gif = fs.createWriteStream(output);

var options = { resize: '200:-1', from: 30, to: 35 };

gifify(input, options).pipe(gif);

console.log('done!');

The video im trying to convert is a 3s webm format. I can run it so its not corrupt.

Thanks!

Can you upload it somewhere still?

@asafg84 and everyone here, I was able to put your video into a GIF. So if some videos are not working, check all the requirements and install instructions, test another simple mp4 video, and in last resort: open a new issue, drop your video link and I will try it.
