老问题，有很多很好的答案，但可能仍然对另一种选择感兴趣……

我最近在github (https://github.com/WarrenWeckesser/numpngw)上发布的numpngw模块可以从numpy数组写入动画PNG文件。(更新:numpngw现在在pypi: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/numpngw。)

例如，这个脚本:

import numpy as np
import numpngw


img0 = np.zeros((64, 64, 3), dtype=np.uint8)
img0[:32, :32, :] = 255
img1 = np.zeros((64, 64, 3), dtype=np.uint8)
img1[32:, :32, 0] = 255
img2 = np.zeros((64, 64, 3), dtype=np.uint8)
img2[32:, 32:, 1] = 255
img3 = np.zeros((64, 64, 3), dtype=np.uint8)
img3[:32, 32:, 2] = 255
seq = [img0, img1, img2, img3]
for img in seq:
    img[16:-16, 16:-16] = 127
    img[0, :] = 127
    img[-1, :] = 127
    img[:, 0] = 127
    img[:, -1] = 127

numpngw.write_apng('foo.png', seq, delay=250, use_palette=True)

创建:

你需要一个支持动画PNG的浏览器(直接或带有插件)才能看到动画。

截至2009年6月，最初引用的博客文章在评论中有一个创建动画动图的方法。下载脚本images2gif.py(以前是images2gif.py，更新由@geographika提供)。

然后，要反转gif中的帧，例如:

#!/usr/bin/env python

from PIL import Image, ImageSequence
import sys, os
filename = sys.argv[1]
im = Image.open(filename)
original_duration = im.info['duration']
frames = [frame.copy() for frame in ImageSequence.Iterator(im)]    
frames.reverse()

from images2gif import writeGif
writeGif("reverse_" + os.path.basename(filename), frames, duration=original_duration/1000.0, dither=0)

下面是如何使用PIL (install with: pip install Pillow):

import glob
import contextlib
from PIL import Image

# filepaths
fp_in = "/path/to/image_*.png"
fp_out = "/path/to/image.gif"

# use exit stack to automatically close opened images
with contextlib.ExitStack() as stack:

    # lazily load images
    imgs = (stack.enter_context(Image.open(f))
            for f in sorted(glob.glob(fp_in)))

    # extract  first image from iterator
    img = next(imgs)

    # https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/handbook/image-file-formats.html#gif
    img.save(fp=fp_out, format='GIF', append_images=imgs,
             save_all=True, duration=200, loop=0)

我知道你问的是如何将图片转换成gif;然而，如果原始格式是MP4，你可以使用FFmpeg:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 output.gif

要创建视频，你可以使用opencv，

#load your frames
frames = ...
#create a video writer
writer = cvCreateVideoWriter(filename, -1, fps, frame_size, is_color=1)
#and write your frames in a loop if you want
cvWriteFrame(writer, frames[i])

一个制作动图的简单函数:

import imageio
import pathlib
from datetime import datetime


def make_gif(image_directory: pathlib.Path, frames_per_second: float, **kwargs):
    """
    Makes a .gif which shows many images at a given frame rate.
    All images should be in order (don't know how this works) in the image directory

    Only tested with .png images but may work with others.

    :param image_directory:
    :type image_directory: pathlib.Path
    :param frames_per_second:
    :type frames_per_second: float
    :param kwargs: image_type='png' or other
    :return: nothing
    """
    assert isinstance(image_directory, pathlib.Path), "input must be a pathlib object"
    image_type = kwargs.get('type', 'png')

    timestampStr = datetime.now().strftime("%y%m%d_%H%M%S")
    gif_dir = image_directory.joinpath(timestampStr + "_GIF.gif")

    print('Started making GIF')
    print('Please wait... ')

    images = []
    for file_name in image_directory.glob('*.' + image_type):
        images.append(imageio.imread(image_directory.joinpath(file_name)))
    imageio.mimsave(gif_dir.as_posix(), images, fps=frames_per_second)

    print('Finished making GIF!')
    print('GIF can be found at: ' + gif_dir.as_posix())


def main():
    fps = 2
    png_dir = pathlib.Path('C:/temp/my_images')
    make_gif(png_dir, fps)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
