Frequently Asked Questions

How long can the MP4 be?

For best results with GIF output, keep clips under 10 seconds. Longer videos produce very large GIF files.

Why is the GIF file so large?

GIF is an older format limited to 256 colors per frame, making it inefficient for video. Consider WebM or MP4 output for smaller files.
