DEBATE GIF Thread discussion

I try to keep my gifs under 10MB. They actually serve as previews of the videos I post (made from video sequences) and it would be rude of me to make a full-length video into a few-second gif that is several times the size of the video itself, and also lower in resolution. I thought about that in advance.

I noticed that some members are uploading the entire video as a gif and it is over 30-50 MB in size, which is too big for me, considering the resolution is reduced from 600-800 pixels...
That's why I suggested setting a limit. Of course, a gif can be larger than that, but it should be specified how big it is.
I'll suggest that it be up to 20 MB without specifying. I'd like to hear what anyone else thinks about this.

 

I find it a struggle to make a GIF of any quality under 10mb, the frame rate is poor as is the quality of the image. I use the ezgif website to make mine. I would happily like to make GIFs under 10mb if it doesn't compromise the quality. Maybe someone can start a tutorial thread on how to make lower size GIFs which are still good quality.

IMO 10mb a limit is a bit outdated, it could be done with being increased

 

The optimize tool is good but when you have a GIF which is originally 40+mb compressing to 10mb the result is poor. I usually keep a minimum size of x480 anything smaller than that is just tiny to me

 

I use Photoshop for gifs. I already said that short gif is my video preview of the video content I share, so it's a routine for me. And I make them under 10 MB (up to 20MB), with enough screencaps to keep visitors interested in a much longer video. I didn't mention 10 MB, but 20 MB for the limit for which nothing needs to be stated.

And I don't see the point of discussing the quality of gifs, if there is a video that is certainly better and has a higher resolution, but a smaller size. I can't understand how a 10-second video at 720x1280 resolution at 30 fps can be worse than a gif that is several times larger at a lower resolution and lower fps...
I understand that it's easy for someone to upload an entire video through an online gif maker and post it "for fame" But what's the point of burdening visitors and expose them to potential costs?

I just suggested that it be noted that the gif is larger than some size that we agree on as a standard. So when the visitor knows, let him decide for himself whether to click to continue or not.

 

I think 25mh is a reasonable maximum size for GIFS most image hosts allow larger sizes but then it gets ridiculous

 

Can a poll be made? from 15 to 50 mb. And ask a clear question and reason why it should be introduced. As well as the option to stay the same...
