@pancakes i dont know if it does much compression for animations beyond what it does for individual images, i cant immediately find info on it doing compression across frames. in any case, if it is good for that use-case i dont think its hopeless that something will come of it, its still new and googles still building on it. i dont like the antagonising about it some ppl do (maybe im too optimistic haha)
@pancakes like gif just has the transparency + frame stacking stuff for compressing animations. proper video formats do so much more than that, so i get the motivation for apps to just use mp4 these days, but that still doesnt have everything gif can do. i want an Actual, Proper replacement for everything gif can do, rather than just image sequences
