Fix Hard Loop Cuts with Ping-Pong Boomerang Mode

Clips trimmed from real-world videos rarely end in the exact pose they started. Ping-Pong mode appends the reversed middle frames (omitting duplicate start and end frames so turnarounds never stutter), creating an effortless endless loop.

Frequently Asked Questions About Reverse GIF

Does Ping-Pong mode duplicate the first and last frames?

No. GifQuill omits both turnaround endpoint duplicates so the motion changes direction smoothly without pausing.

Why does Ping-Pong mode roughly double the frame count?

Because it plays frames 1..N forward followed by frames (N-1)..2 backward in a single GIF file.
