High quality GIF with FFmpeg

Re:High quality GIF with FFmpeg by eridius on Monday March 16, 2015 @07:52PM (#9215344)

Are there GIFs that specify a delay on some frames but not others, and expect all frames to have a delay? Because it should be easy to detect animated GIFs that specify no delay for any frame, and treat them all as having a delay.

A workaround for the workaround: for a high-color gif, add a blank "animation" frame at the end that has a delay, after all the no-delay buildup elements.

However, that's unlikely to be necessary because if you are just doing a high-color image with no animation, you may as well use JPEG or PNG.

As I understand it, that would still block this "large-palette GIF" trick, because those would also consist entirely of frames with no delay.

I assumed that the "large-palette GIF" would have animation. Otherwise, why are you bothering with tricky GIFs at all, why not just use a PNG (or JPEG, depending on the image type)?
