Im using carrier wave to upload gifs which works just fine, the problem comes when i try to generate the thumb version and converting the gif into a jpeg with only the first image in the gif as the thumb, i get an error:
LocalJumpError in ImagesController#create

Here's the code im using to generate the thumb:
version :thumb do
process :resize_to_limit => [200, 200]
process :convert => 'jpg'
end
Hope you guys can help and thanks in advance.
To remove animations from a gif image using carrierwave, you can define the following processor:
def remove_animation
manipulate! do |img, index|
index == 0 ? img : nil
end
end
So, the code for the thumb version will be:
version :thumb do
process :remove_animation
process :resize_to_limit => [200, 200]
process :convert => 'jpg'
end
Here's how I ended up flattening an animated gif (extracting out the first image of the gif).
process :custom_convert => 'jpg'
# Method handles gif animation conversion by extracting out first frame within a gif
def custom_convert(format)
cache_stored_file! if !cached?
image = ::Magick::Image.read(current_path)
frames = image.first
frames.write("#{format}:#{current_path}")
destroy_image(frames)
end
Add the following to your uploader class:
version :thumb do
process :remove_animation
process :resize_to_limit => [200, 200]
process :convert => 'jpg'
end
# add process :remove_animation to other thumbs
private
def remove_animation
if content_type == 'image/gif'
manipulate! { |image| image.collapse! }
end
end
So this is the code i used to accomplish what i wanted:
manipulate! do |image|
gif = Magick::ImageList.new image.filename
jpg = gif[0]
jpg.resize_to_fill!(200,200)
jpg.write("thumb_#{secure_token}.#{format}")
jpg
end
