Short looping GIF utility. Two modes: (A) convert an existing MP4 to GIF with 2-pass palette optimization; (B) generate a 1-3 second clip via a video provider (Veo / Sora / Kling / Runway / fal-video) then convert. Aspect crop presets (1:1 social, 9:16 story, 16:9 banner, 2:1 wide). ffmpeg-driven (palette generation + paletteuse for quality). Outputs: ./generated/gif/<name>.gif. Use when the user says 'gif', 'looping animation', 'short loop', 'make a gif', 'сделай гифку', 'короткая зацикленная анимация'.
