Command line incantations

I used these to wrangle with assets.

Make these into aliases or functions if you'll use them a lot. Replacing the inputfile with $argv in fish or equivalent in Bash/zsh.

Convert spritesheet inputfile to animated gif via imagemagick, for sharing

convert -dispose previous inputfile.png -crop 400x500 +adjoin +repage -adjoin -loop 0 -delay 1 output-2.gif

Get dimensions of an image or video file via ffmpeg's ffprobe option.
