Why do gifs take up so much storage space?
In: 20
GIF is picture compression format. So a video as a GIF is a slideshow of independent images.
A real video compression format understands that the sequence of images is related, ie in most cases the next image will be near identical to the previous one. So it will save space by instead of having a load of independent images it’ll tell you how to modify the previous image to get the next frame in the video.
