So using ImageMagick for this... How is this memory wise BTW? (all frames are in memory at once or not?)

Yes, all frames will be in memory prior to making the GIF. Probably fine for most GIFs, but if you want to go FFmpeg | ImageMagick | FFmpeg for processing a video, or maybe for a longer GIF, you can use this script to keep only a frame at a time in memory: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/scripts/process_ppm_pipelin...

Not sure, actually. Never had it be enough of a resource hog to even think about it.
