The new new anime gif/webm thread. You can post the anime gifs here. this is a new original op™




Old thread
Old old thread

here is a basic guide for making the stuff. It's for noobs so if you know easier software then post it


What to use

WebM: Good for longer clips (like more than a few seconds) or stuff with a lot of detail/colours/frames.
Can carry audio.
Use url tags to embed here


Gif: not good for posting long clips from shows or high res animations because they end up really big files that can crash devices or slow poo poo down.
but have their place, mainly when you need transparency or are doing a short frame-by-frame edit. witty reaction gifs or avatars.
Use img or timg to embed

Make WebMs


WebMCam
Use this to easily capture clips from streaming content. Can capture audio, but currently if you do that you can’t also edit the frames and also it eventually loses synch after a long time.

Resize the window over the stream, click record and play the stream


Stop recording, delete any frames you don’t want


Output:

WebM Converter
Use this on downloaded video files. It’s pretty straightforward.
Allows more fancy stuff like cutting together multiple clips, adding the dank meme text etc.
Can make higher quality stuff than webmcam


Load clip, trim, resize



Encoding tab is where you enable audio
I recommend using constant bitrate, and trying a few different values to see what works best for the clip (you’ll eventually get diminishing returns on quality)

Upload WebMs

webm hosting is a bit unstable at the moment with hosts opening and closing frequently

Make Gifs
Gooncam
Gifcam
InstaGiffer
Use to capture on-screen stuff similar to WebMCam. Gooncam doesn’t get updated anymore, rip

Upload Gifs

Imgur
Any gif over 2MB will get converted to a gifv. This is okay, SA supports it now. In fact it's good because a 50MB gif of an entire scene is now a tenth of the size.
As far as I know Gifv embeds with url tags but doesn’t show in post preview

You can get extensions for Chrome and Firefox that let you rehost on imgur with 2 clicks

I recommend using constant bitrate

I haven't experimented much with constant versus variable, but I've just been using variable automatically after starting to use WebM for Retards. I think I did one quick test and fell down on variable. Is there any objective reasoning for why you're recommending constant or is it just your personal opinion? That said, thank you for letting me know about WebMCam. I didn't know about it at all, but it should make capturing stuff from currently airing shows like Planet With significantly easier.

I doubt most of my folder would be of much interest to most people here though, since I mostly make mecha related stuff for discussion of various shows on /m/. A lot of Gundam and Macross related webms for instance. I was looking last night, and I currently have 169 webms in my Turn-A folder. Which I'll probably start replacing piece by piece soon, because checking the official subs against the older stuff I'm seeing that quite a bit of stuff in them is somewhat badly worded or flat out wrong. Seeing as how I often use webms of particular scenes to help show that something definitely happened or to emphasize a point I feel like I kind of have to really.

Comparing this old webm of Dianna talking about Corin from the older subs

https://my.mixtape.moe/ftqjwn.webm

with the newer, corrected subs makes the scene come off fairly different for instance.

https://my.mixtape.moe/vndxgk.webm

The corrected subs make it much more explicit that Corin fought the Turn-A in the past which was really only implied before. Kihel's thoughts at the end in the official subs have her thinking about how Corin is what someone looks like after repeated cryosleep where the older subs have her think he's an example of someone who's suffered prolonged cryosleep too. Which is a small, but possibly significant difference. There's enough different I want to re-watch the show soon, though the fact Turn-A is one of my favorite shows helps. The official subs just read better in a lot of instances too.

https://my.mixtape.moe/ugywmu.webm

Plus, a constant variation of the above webm to compare against the variable one above. Maybe it's just me, but the variable one just seems nicer really.

Also, some random webms I guess.

lol I copied and pasted those first three posts from the old thread because I didn’t want to write my own guide for webms and gifs when my process is “press buttons until something vaguely okay comes out”
