#3760 closed enhancement (fixed)

support for animated webp images

Reported by: triune Owned by:

Version: git-master Keywords: webp

Description

Currently, exporting to webp will only render a single frame. Would like to have the capability to transcode videos into webp animations similar to animated gif. The 24bit RGB space in webp should make better quality animated images.

Do you have a sample?

Hi,

It seems that when you convert video to gif and then gif to webp, you lose many of the benefits of the webp format itself since you are downsampling to a 256 color palette initially. What I would like to do is go straight from video to animated webp via ffmpeg. However, this doesn't seem to be possible at the moment. I've opened a ticket on their end : https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/3760 but would like to know if a patch on the libwebp end would enable this feature in ffmpeg or not.

This work would be fully in ffmpeg, libwebp currently only handles single frames. In gif2webp for instance we use libwebp for compression and libwebpmux for the final assembly. A simple video frame encoder could do the same in ffmpeg, apng/gif conversion may be a bit more difficult to get right.

A custom webp muxer has been added in 6d64a14e6deae319e8d21b23072e0a73f8cfd9c1 that can create animated WebP images.
