FFMPEG Convert GIFs to video

The GIF format is from another age: originally created in 1987, tweaked in 1989, it was designed for simple, blocky colours. While you may hear that it only supports 256 colours, that restriction has been ‘hacked out’, by adding as many palettes of 256 colours as needed to an image (often bloating it significantly), and then changing the palettes across the picture.

This can cause a lot of problems with size and loading times, with content deviating significantly from the original specification. Photos with millions of colours can often have a filesize, and thus a loading time, several orders of magnitude more than file formats
