A community for the fans and critics of the show 30 Rock.

Discussion of the show, pictures from the show and anything else 30 Rock related.

Rules:

  1. All DubVee instance rules apply. See the sidebar at https://dubvee.org. Those are pretty comprehensive, so we don't really need to add much to those.
  2. No politics outside of what's referenced on the show. Let's leave that drama elsewhere since there's plenty of it.
  3. All posts must be 30 Rock related or adjacent. You dummies are awesome, so I don't think I've ever had to mod any posts for this, but codifying it for good measure.
  4. Less a rule and more of a guideline, but please try to provide alt text if your instance + client combination support it. If not, then please try to make an effort to provide a description of any image posts in the post body. Let's be an a11y when we can :)
  5. Don't make fun of people for misusing dated cultural references. Are we all cowabunga on this?
  6. No talking about Krang. It would be a waste of time to talk about Krang on ~~television~~ the internet.

Jeff Richmond truly did Reagan his way through the whole series.

Any tips on creating looping animated WEBP images with a modest file size? This one is 260 KB at 300x300 with awful quality. The best technique I could come up with was exporting a video from KDENLIVE as an MP4 and then using FFMPEG to convert to WEBP like so:

ffmpeg -i fire.mp4 -vcodec libwebp -filter:v fps=10 -lossless 0 -loop 0 -preset default -an -vsync 0 -s 300:300 -quality 10 fire.webp

The problem with animated images and uploading them to Lemmy is that pict-rs will typically convert them. Each instance can and often does have its pict-rs service configured differently. Some will just convert them to static images, some will convert to GIF, etc. If you upload to catbox, that shouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately, I haven't messed with animated webp much.

So you'll probably want to check with your instance admins (or run some posts somewhere) to see what works best.

I uploaded this one to Lemmy (instead of my usual use of Catbox), and have no complaints with its integrity after uploading. It looks just as good/bad here as the raw file did before uploading, and has basically the same file size.

The MP4 I exported was only 200 KB with much higher resolution/quality. I had to compress the WEBP immensely to get it down to 260 KB, just because I wanted it to loop automatically.

I am wondering if there might be a better way to export/convert the file before uploading, or if WEBP is just not as magical in its compressibility as I had thought.

Maybe try JPEG-XL?
