aerodynamik Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hey guys, So considering you are here, I'd assume you've been on the internet long enough to realize what a GIF is. In case you are unaware, here is a quick example, just check this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_Interchange_Format So what is new for the GIF? Why did I call out all early adopters? WHY AM I ASKING SO MANY QUESTIONS?! To answer this, the GIF is soon to be obsolete or "dead". A new format is arising, otherwise known as GFY, which is pronounced as "jiffy". There are multiple things that make the GFY dominant over the GIF: Pros:- file compression (wow. much compress. much awesome. wow) - high quality (much better than a GIF) Here is a size comparison: GIF file: 229 MB GFY file: 14 MB Here is a quality comparison: http://gfycat.com/ScentedPlayfulGiraffe#?format=gif http://gfycat.com/ScentedPlayfulGiraffe# Buuut wait. Doesn't that say video in the second one? Correct. A GFY is a HTML5 video. Anyways, how would I make a GFY? Or how do I turn my existing GIF to GFY? Use this wonderful and nifty service: http://gfycat.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don't see why not. Though, I could be wrong since I am not a web developer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eternal Edge Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 On your way out, tell me what audio format will replace the mp3. It's already here, it's called FLAC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
