Hello everyone im trying to save a gif which I create with flutter_ffmpeg: ^0.4.2 With this code im trying to create a gif of picked video from user which is currently widget.videopathasstring THis is the path of picked video.

 Directory gifDirectory;
  String gifOutputFile;
  getpreviewvideo() async {
    String currentvideo = widget.videopathasstring;
    await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory().then((directory) {
      print("13");
      gifDirectory = Directory(directory.path + '/gif');
      print("14");
      gifDirectory.exists().then((exists) async {
        print("0");
        if (!exists) {
          print("1");
          await gifDirectory.create();
        }
      }).then((value) => {
            print("3"),
            gifOutputFile = gifDirectory.path +
                '/' +
                DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch.toString() +
                '.gif',
          });
    });
    print("4");
    var arguments = [
      '-i',
      currentvideo,
      '-t',
      '2.5',
      '-ss',
      '2.0',
      '-f',
      'gif',
      gifOutputFile,
    ];
    _flutterFFmpeg.executeWithArguments(arguments).then((rc) {
      print("FFmpeg process exited with rc $rc");
    });

    return File(gifOutputFile);
  }

It seems you're not uploading the file to Cloud Storage, which only happens once you call putFile.

Have a look at the FlutterFire documentation on uploading files for an example of how to use putFile
