How short or long should my MKV be for a good GIF?
+
Animated GIF is best for clips under 10 seconds. Longer than that and the file balloons (GIF is essentially uncompressed-per-frame); for longer animations target GIF = WebP or APNG, both of which compress similarly to modern video codecs and stay reasonably sized.
Yes — the loop-count option controls whether the GIF loops infinitely (default), plays N times, or plays once and stops. Loop info is stored in the GIF container metadata and respected by every modern viewer (browsers, Discord, Slack, Twitter).

Two common causes: frame-rate downsampling (15 fps GIF GIF from a 30 fps MKV source — fix with the frame-rate option) and palette quantization on GIF (only 256 colours, so smooth gradients band — switch the GIF target to WebP or APNG for full colour fidelity).
Can I crop or resize the MKV before making the GIF?

Animated GIF supports single-colour transparency only (a binary mask, one transparent index per frame). Animated WebP and APNG support full 8-bit alpha. MKV sources that have no alpha channel — most camera footage and most screen captures — produce fully-opaque GIF regardless of which target format you pick.
