How to export a GIF with FCPX

The title says it all... The only method I have heard of is using compressor. If so... this is freaking ridiculous. I have FCPX. I have Motion. I have Logic. How much more money do you need???? Really please tell me that after paying god knows how much money the only way to make a GIF- a freaking GIF is with an additional 50€ software?????? Seriously??? Come on Apple. Imagine if the only way to export a WAV from logic was by paying an additional 50 bucks. That would be absolutely insane- which this is. A gif. Shortcuts on my phone can make a gif but FCPX cant??????? I would be absolutely embarrassed about this if I was someone who was involved with coding FCP. Great. Well I sure hope someone can tell me of another way in replies cuz im not paying another dang 50€ just to be able to accomplish making a gif in 2023

So send your video to your phone and make your GIF there for free.

What export options Apple chooses to support in FCP is something over which we have no control. That said, your comparison is just not fair. WAV is a professional audio format, it would not make sense for a DAW not to support it. But that would more like FCP not supporting Quicktime mov, not gif. You can argue you want that format; but you can’t claim that gif is a professional video format, which it isn’t.
