Ffmpeg (install)One of the best tools I use is ffmpeg. It can take most video from a screencast tool such as kazam and convert it to another format.Install this from software-center - it is automatically installed if you install the excellent ubuntu-restricted-extras package.Kazam can output in the video formats mp4 or webm. Generally you get better results outputting in mp4 format.Example GIF making syntaxThe basic syntax to convert video to gif is:ffmpeg -i [inputvideo_filename] -pix_fmt rgb24 [output.gif]GIFs converted - especially those with a standard 25/29 frame-per-second can be very large. For example - a 800Kb webm 15-second video at 25fps can output to 435 MB!You can reduce this by a number of methods:FramerateUse the option -r [frame-per-second]. For example ffmpeg -i Untitled_Screencast.webm -r 1 -pix_fmt rgb24 out.gifSize reduced from 435 MB to 19 MBFile-size limitUse the option -fs [filesize]. For example ffmpeg -i Untitled_Screencast.webm -fs 5000k -pix_fmt rgb24 out.gifNote: This is an approximate output file size so the size can be slightly bigger than specified.Size of output videoUse the option -s [widthxheight]. For example ffmpeg -i Untitled_Screencast.webm -s 320x200 -pix_fmt rgb24 out.gifThis reduced the example 1366x768 video size down to 26 MBLoop foreverSometimes you might want the GIF to loop forever.Use the option -loop_output 0. For example ffmpeg -i Untitled_Screencast.webm -loop_output 0 -pix_fmt rgb24 out.gifFurther optimise and shrinkIf you use imagemagick convert with a fuzz factor between 3% and 10% then you can dramatically reduce the image sizeconvert output.gif -fuzz 3% -layers Optimize finalgif.gifFinallyCombine some of these options to reduce to something manageable for Ask Ubuntu.ffmpeg -i Untitled_Screencast.webm -loop_output 0 -r 5 -s 320x200 -pix_fmt rgb24 out.gifFollowed byconvert output.gif -fuzz 8% -layers Optimize finalgif.gifExample

Close the Opera, rename that libffmpeg.so (from the currently installed pkg) to e.g. libffmpeg.so-old,2. Download this pkg of chromium-codes-ffmpeg-extra for Ubuntu Bionic, and unpack the "libffmpeg.so" from it as follows:/usr/bin/ar p chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_79.0.3945.130-0ubuntu0.18.04.1_amd64.deb data.tar.xz | /bin/tar Jx ./usr/lib/chromium-browser/libffmpeg.so --strip 4.3. Navigate to the Opera's installation root (you can find the path in opera:about > Paths > Install), add there a new subfolder "lib_extra", and copy extracted file to this folder.4. Relaunch the Opera, and check if it still crashes, and whether you are able to play the videos using H.264 codec or not.
