Thanks for this!
You may want to add
#!/usr/bin/env bash

To the top so it works if bash isn't your default shell.
what exactly is suppose to happen. i've updated home brew, and installed ffmpeg and gifsicle like it says. when i enter the command...nothing happens. how do i know if the file is created or something?
