The gif appears to be running at 2x the speed of the source video?

@Titan believe it's the -r 10 in the first command and the -delay 5 in the second. I changed the delay to 10 also and it seems to play normally now.

You can also avoid intermediate image files by using the split filter in ffmpeg. No need to pipe anything at all: ffmpeg -ss 30 -t 3 -i "input.flv fps=10,scale=320:-1:flags=lanczos,split[x][z];[z]palettegen[y];[x][y]paletteuse" output.gif

Is there a way to maintain the scale? For example, my video file is 904:774. How do I do it without setting scale=320:-1? Is there a way to automate it without exploding the size?
