2.ffmpeg is download from http://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/

3.I had download the ffmpeg-release-64bit-static.tar.xz ,unpackage this file, and run : ./ffmpeg then ffmpeg has installed. I check it by using : ffmpeg -version
no problems.

I run those command in my system is no problem:

cd /home/web/tomcat-6.0.29/zhouletest/ffmpeg-3.1.1-64bit-static 

./ffmpeg -y -ss 10 -t 3 -i /home/web/tomcat-6.0.29/zhouletest/videos/6.mp4 -vf fps=10,scale=177:-1:flags=lanczos,palettegen /home/web/tomcat-6.0.29/zhouletest/gif_images/palettegens/6.png 

./ffmpeg -y -ss 10 -t 3 -i /home/web/tomcat-6.0.29/zhouletest/videos/6.mp4 -i /home/web/tomcat-6.0.29/zhouletest/gif_images/palettegens/6.png -filter_complex "fps=10,scale=177:-1:flags=lanczos[x];[x][1:v]paletteuse" /home/web/tomcat-6.0.29/zhouletest/gif_images/6.gif

but when I invoke this command in java, errors happend, why? 

String cmd1 = "/home/web/tomcat-6.0.29/zhouletest/ffmpeg -y -ss 10 -t 3 -i /home/web/tomcat-6.0.29/zhouletest/videos/6.mp4 -vf fps=10,scale=177:-1:flags=lanczos,palettegen /home/web/tomcat-6.0.29/zhouletest/gif_images/palettegens/6.png";
String cmd2 = "/home/web/tomcat-6.0.29/zhouletest/ffmpeg-3.1.1-64bit-static/ffmpeg -y -ss 10 -t 3 -i /home/web/tomcat-6.0.29/zhouletest/videos/6.mp4 -i /home/web/tomcat-6.0.29/zhouletest/gif_images/palettegens/6.png -filter_complex \"fps=10,scale=177:-1:flags=lanczos[x];[x][1:v]paletteuse\" /home/web/tomcat-6.0.29/zhouletest/gif_images/6.gif";

String result1 = executeCommand(cmd1);
String result2 = executeCommand(cmd2);

private static String executeCommand(String command) {
    StringBuffer output = new StringBuffer();
    Process p;
    try {
        p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
        p.waitFor();
        BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));

        String line = "";
        while ((line = reader.readLine())!= null) {
            output.append(line + "\n");
        }

    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return output.toString();
}

errors:

the cmd1 is execute success, but cmd2 is not, anyone who can help? thanks very much – royise
Welcome to Stack Overflow! I edited your question as far as I could guess your problem. However, add explanation of code and description so that more people with knowledge of the subject will see it. Please edit in the specific error-message you're encountering in case that's necessary to identify the specific problem. Good Luck! – Enamul Hassan
@manetsus Thank you for your valuable advice, the next time will pay attention to – royise

Nothing to do with your FFmpeg binary, this is almost certainly related to escaping characters in the shell environment that the commands run in.

Examine the error message:

No such filter: '"fps'

FFmpeg thinks the filter being called is "fps.

Try removing the quotes around filter_complex i.e. 

-filter_complex fps=10,scale=177:-1:flags=lanczos[x];[x][1:v]paletteuse

Or if that doesn't work, enclose it in single quotes.

-filter_complex 'fps=10,scale=177:-1:flags=lanczos[x];[x][1:v]paletteuse'

In the end, I wrote a shell: gifcreate.sh, I use java to call it, it's works well.

this is myshell

#/bin/bash

_srcFile=$1     #video file path
_descFile=$2    #output GIF file
_width=$3       #widht of output GIF file
_start=$4       #skip the first $_start seconds of the $_srcFile
_time=$5        #create a $_time second output
_cover=$6       #overwrite the palette and gif if exist, y is yes,n is not
_fps=$7         #Frame rate,can control GIF definition,
_palettegenFile=$8  #palette file path

cd /home/web/tomcat-6.0.29/zhouletest/ffmpeg-3.1.1-64bit-static
./ffmpeg -$6 -t $_time -i $_srcFile -vf fps=$_fps,scale=$_width:-1:flags=lanczos,palettegen $_palettegenFile
./ffmpeg -$6 -t $_time -i $_srcFile -i $_palettegenFile -filter_complex "fps=$_fps,scale=$_width:-1:flags=lanczos[x];[x][1:v]paletteuse" $_descFile

this is my calling method in shell

/home/web/tomcat-6.0.29/zhouletest/gifcreate.sh /home/web/tomcat-6.0.29/zhouletest/videos/6.mp4 /home/web/tomcat-6.0.29/zhouletest/gif_images/1469694815605_8898.gif 177 0 3 y 5 /home/web/tomcat-6.0.29/zhouletest/gif_images/palettegens/1469694815605_8898.png

this is my calling method in java

String cmd1 = "/home/web/tomcat-6.0.29/zhouletest/gifcreate.sh "+srcFile+" "+descFile+" "+width+" "+start+" "+time+" "+(cover?"y":"n")+" "+fps+" "+palettegenFile;

Runtime r1 = Runtime.getRuntime();
    final Process process1 = r1.exec(cmd1);
    Thread thread1 = new Thread(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            try {
                process1.waitFor();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                log.error("createScaleGifFromVideo thread error:", e);
            }
        }
    });
    thread1.start();
    thread1.join(5000);//wait for the child thread up to 5 second
    if(thread1.isAlive()){
        process1.destroy();
        log.error("createScaleGifFromVideo: gif create is not ended, because it's cost more then 5s.");
    }

This can sometimes happen when you're using a separate language or system to generate your ffmpeg command line call, and if you have a recent-ish ffmpeg (that's greater than 3.0) then palettegen should be compiled into it, by default.

In my case, after a whole day of experimenting with the command line, it turned out that I needed to escape the , in my CLI call that I was generating, with a \ before it. Due to this, ffmpeg was unable to read the arguments properly, and ended up thinking that I was asking to use 'fps' as a filter, or similar.

I got this cos of copying a cmd had put curly quotes into the command somehow. evil!
