Comment:

 Compare:
 {{{
 Output #0, gif, to 'output%04d.gif':
 }}}
 and:
 {{{
 Output #0, image2, to 'output%04d.gif':
 }}}
 FFmpeg has gained support for creating animated GIF, and therefore the GIF
 extension is no longer associated to a sequence of images but to a single
 animated file.

 You can get the old behaviour back by adding {{{-f image2}}}, or use PNG
 instead of GIF.

 A warning may be a good idea to ease the transition.
