Gifs are actually really inefficient. It’s largely a legacy format issue, but Gifs store every frame as it’s own image while mp4s (in simple terms) store the delta between frames.
Oh, neat. I wasn’t aware of that and never thought about it even in that way.
I resorted to gifs if given the chance becuase it was way easier for me to mess up the encoding and other stuff of the video, resulting in way bigger file sizes than necessary.
I guess it’s worth investing a bit more time in that lol.
Why would you convert gifs to video to optimize storage space? Shouldn’t it be the other way around?
