This module can be sent an incoming video signal and will save a gif animation to the scratch folder specified in the HECTOR settings. NOTE - the GIF Encoder module will consume frames as fast as it can, therefore it is likely that the resulting GIF will be at a lower frame rate than the input video. For example, if the incoming video is running at 30 fps, but the local system can only write GIF frames out at 10 fps, the GIF Encoder will write at 10 fps and insert an appropriate delay between each frame to ensure the final GIF runs at the correct speed. This essentially means that the GIF being written will have a constantly-variable FPS, depending on system conditions.
