(this may not play smoothly in all browsers or may only do so after a number of loops, try firefox if others are giving problems)
today i have been working on:
getting AVIF formatting working for the website because i noticed how big one of the GIFs was
and then hyperfixations led me to do a number of tests on best format to use
and then figuring out the best way to automate the conversion
so enjoy this commission made by beelzeburb on twitter that i had completely forgotten about
technical stats:
the source file is a 1280x720 mp4, 643KB
i like to downscale stuff for the website so it's 1200 in the largest dimension - so as a 1200x675 AVIF, it's 391KB
without cutting down frames, the fallback 500x281 GIF generated is 13.1MB??
(i think imagemagick is choking a bit on the background gradient, but still)
