GIF support? Animated webp?

Open quinton-ashley opened this issue 11 months ago • 0 comments

The GIF file format was created in 1987. GIFs are outdated due to their poor performance and file space inefficiency, which makes them unsuitable for inclusion in q5, since one of our primary goals is high performance.

GIFs were superseded in 2010 by webp, an open source image format created by Google. Then that was superseded by avif.

Animated webp and avif support would be nice to have in q5, but for now you can use videos or p5play animations.

If anyone is interested in implementing this, let me know!
