I would really like to propose that Derpibooru start investing in a new image/video format that is vastly superior to the output of a mere gif format.
Not only can the clip become ran in a segment of minutes, it will also cut down on file size.
For a brief comparison, I will put it this way. Gifs would normally be from a thousand kilobytes to even megabytes in double digits, depending on the aspect ratio and length. Now divide that number by 8 (at the least) and that is the size comparison to the gif. What would normally be about 5000KB, it would be reduced to less than or equal to 625KB.
Should I go on further? Not only can you convert video much simpler than a gif but it will come out smoother. Ratios will not have to be compromised for the sake of file size or quality. And here’s the dagger: a 5 second clip that would take up about half of the screen would be laggy in gif format where in WebM it would be a lot smoother.
How’s this for a nail in the coffin? Gif would take a process of demolishing the quality of the clip and would require you to run it in a smaller size in order to run (and will take some computers a while to process). WebM format can even record a full 60fps without the compromise of size and loadout times are near instant.
The future is upon us. Let us embrace it.
