Limit of frames in an animated gif?
category: offtopic [glöplog]
is there a limit? (200etc) or is it due to compression/optimisation?
no, it's just because you're retarded.
Created about 10000 frames in Gif Animator and it's "slightly" overloaded now... but it works.
Don't think so. You can read frames as they come and I don't believe there's anything like a word-only storage for the number.
you should totally seed a feature-length movie over bittorrent as an animated gif and and mp3 file as an experiment to see just how long a gif can be.
It can contain any number of frames until the end marker (';') is reached, or you run out of disk space.
it'd be worth putting a feature length movie up as an anim-gif on some torrent site, just to see the comments!
but...hey! this would make all this codec-nonsense meaningless ! ;)
same as applying all the inet-security win7 has to AmigaOS -> thousand times faster ! ( yeah, i tend to not overstate :P )

@masterm : that's pretty cool , even on a slow connection like mine.
did you optimze the gif ? (using transparency, so only moving parts are stored) ?
what if the gif is zipped ? (or gif already compress frames with RLE ?)

Tigrou: gif is LZW-compressed
Spinball: the compression is per frame, the stream itself isnt compressed afaik
masterm: Can i use that gif as a pouet.net avatar? :)
Somehow the gif looks better than the original. o_O
How about posting that debris gif 1000times on hundreds of Forums.
Will it kill teh untergrund interweb nets?

there is a maximum of 2 frames per gif, are is a proof :
Tigrou: Nah I didn't optimize anything. Just ran:
Zplex: Tried 16x16 version but it's >3mb and you can barely see anything meaningful anyway. ;)
Code:
(colorspace is converted to 8bpp anyway but gif "codec" needs rgb input).ffmpeg -i debris.avi -s 320x240 -r 25 -pix_fmt rgb24 debris.gifZplex: Tried 16x16 version but it's >3mb and you can barely see anything meaningful anyway. ;)
A GIF is unlimited in size as long as it features a cat, boobs or collapsing buildings.
thanks 4 the infos
no intraframe encoding outside of "transparency", minimal spatial encoding (RLE), very minimal pattern encoding for all that dithering from quantization (good ol' huffman)...
floppy died
gif as a simple way to distribute animated images will never die

why not use APNG instead? no colour limitation, better compression, alpha channel, etcpp...

Then we'd have a >4GB debris apng....
ffmpeg doesnt dither animated gifs :(
If we're going to use new features in apng to improve it, why not just use an mp4 file? Even better compression, audio, ... Or in fact why not just watch the demo? Incredible compression ratio, full quality, flexible resolution...
Nah, lets keep to .gif :)
