- Was it rather simple to use motion tracking? I have not tried that in Kdenlive yet
- What do you do to reduce the quality of the GIF? Is that some effect or something in Kdenlive?

Yes on short snippets its rather easy just drag the “motion tracking” effect onto the clip, then go to the first frame, position the tracking square over what you want to track, then click analyze. The resulting movement keyframes can be copied onto other objects like text.

Kdenlive itselfs dosent over gif compression, so i export as mkv and then convert and compress using https://ezgif.com/ If i would export this as gif with kdenlive it would have about 80MB, so its only 2.5MB
I see that ezgif.com uses a program called Gifsicle for its compression. I will look into implementing that into my workflow. Thanks!
EDIT: For anyone reading this who wants a good CLI method to compress GIFs, I found this article very useful:

On the other hand, if you don’t require your animated image to be in GIF format, a WEBP at the same file size will always have much higher quality:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vcodec libwebp -lossless 0 -loop 0 -preset default -an -fps_mode passthrough -vf "fps=15, scale=-1:270" -quality 10 output.webp

Such a great movie
Good to never know the name of movie
I had a nagging suspicion in the back of my brain it’s been forever since I’ve seen this movie. It’s “The Men Who Stare At Goats”.
