convert raw/1.gif -fuzz 10% -layers Optimize processed/1.gif

Put it in a shell loop.

So? You can loop through all the files in a directory. Or all the files named "*.gif" or "?.gif" or whatever you want.

You can use the -path option in mogrify to send the files to another (empty if desired) folder, which must exist already. See http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/basics/#mogrify
