Description

Since macOS 10.14, we can now make Quick Actions that show up in Finder. It would be cool to have a GIF quick action that just quickly converts a GIF without any UI, just with some sensible defaults the user could change in a preferences window. This would also allow for batch conversion.

Note: This is not an easy issue. It's expected that you have advanced Swift knowledge and that you do a good job with this. The point of bounties is to save us time, not drag us down in a way too long-running pull request.

Research direction
The issue requests a macOS Quick Action to convert videos to GIFs without UI, with a preferences window. To implement, study Apple's documentation on Quick Actions (automator workflows) and AppKit. Review existing Gifski codebase for conversion logic. The bounty is managed by Issuehunt. Note maintainer's caution about complexity; ensure thorough testing and clean Swift code.
