Test the change of GIF to mp4 on twitter,

I heard about this for a long time ago. Today I suddenly remembered it during FQ, so I went to test how amazing this gif-to-MP4 conversion was...

This is my twitter address: https://twitter.com/chendatony31

Currently, the size of images that can be uploaded on twitter is limited to 3 mb. I uploaded about 1 MB of GIF images. The output is indeed only mp4... Thank you !!

This is the upload:

The output is as follows:

Sorry, your browser does not support embedded videos. You can download this mp4

 

 

I have tested several more charts and listed a simple table for your reference:

Original gif size	Output MP4 size	Size	Length (SEC)	Frame Rate (frame/second)	Data Rate (the amount of information transmitted per second in kbps)
583 k	55 k	220*124	2	17	221
985 k	338 k	350*236	4	12	691
1.99 m	227 k	400*292	4	10	464
1.99 m	277 k	366*358	4	12	566
2.92 m	555 k	198*246	21	8	216

In general, it is really necessary to convert this gif into MP4. The size after conversion ranges from 30% to 10% of the original file. The size of images on a webpage has a huge impact on the size of the entire page, especially on mobile terminals, which saves a lot of traffic.

In addition, mp4 can be controlled, paused, slow, and fast, or even full screen. Have you ever thought about how a GIF image can be viewed in full screen! Haha...

The video can be viewed at the bottom. Although it is not as useful as quickplay :), twitter may have removed the 3 m limit in the future... That's different ~~

In general, it is still very powerful !! We hope that Weibo will use this technology as soon as possible. I didn't test the compatibility (because I couldn't turn the ie into a wall, so I was confused). However, it should be backward compatible with flash output. At the same time, I also found related technologies and tools: video. js and ffmpeg.org. If you are interested, refer ~
