Notes about parameters

Width and Height they regulate resulting gif resolution. GifMagick crops file automatically so if you need
square gif from rectangle composition it should work out of the box.
FPS by default GifMagick set FPS equal to you composition, but you could adjust it for gif file.
Speed with this setting you could speed up or slow down resulting gif.
Optimize you this flag to reduce file size. But be careful its very resource heavy.
Loop you could turn off loop with this checkbox.
