I got very cold and decided to start wearing a fur coat...

For me, it's an easy work around when it's just a still image...

I've just never seen them commit this heinous atrocity with a gif before.

It does save as webp. I'm gonna figure out how to fix this for you, MO. Because fuck Goolag.

I'm willing to bet ffmpeg can convert it to a usable format.

[Mister Obvious]

Yeah if you Google "I FUCKING HATE WEBP IMAGES" (lol) a lot of results come up of people talking about how much they hate it and trying to figure out how to unfuck it all.

[Mister Obvious]

CTRL+U and search for .gif in the code...

It gives you a direct link to the image which then will save as a gif...

MO done went and pwn3d Goolag.

[Mister Obvious]

I use that trick a lot actually, but never had to do it for this before1?!?!

[Mister Obvious]

Pretty sure you couldn't do that on a smartphone though...

So I think this is all just the slow progression of a totalitarian takeover of the internet.

The totalitarian tip-toe.

[user328]

Possible alternate method if you can't find a direct link to the GIF:

1. Use imagemagick to extract the frames from the webp file as individual PNGs.

2. Use ffmpeg to build an MP4 video from the frames.

I'll test this in a bit to make sure it works.

[user328]

Actually...

Since you have a Windows 7 box (you lucky bitch), you could make a true GIF89a file.

1. Extract the frames as GIFs using imagemagick.

2. Download Paint Shop Pro 7 from oldversion.com and install it. It comes with Animation Shop bundled. You can use that to build a GIF animation from the frames. That's how I made our friend Casanova.

If the free trial expires, you can reset the countdown by deleting a registry key.

There's also a site that I use A LOT when it comes to creating/editing gifs...

https://ezgif.com

I wonder if it would accept a jacked up WebP link for conversion...

https://ezgif.com/video-to-gif

Yup, it works at least for that extension.

[Mister Obvious]

Whoever runs that EzGIF site is doing the Lord's work.

[user328]

I saw that too. There's so much cool stuff in most Linux distros that I do things locally whenever possible though. Free websites often start requiring registration once they build an audience. It's good to have your own resources.

[Mister Obvious]

Yeah I have my ways of doing it with various software, but I'll take the easy way whenever possible.

[user328]

Actually, Part 2...

You only need one imagemagick command to do the whole thing:

convert input.webp output.gif

One and done.

[user328]

Yeah I have my ways of doing it with various software, but I'll take the easy way whenever possible.

I understand. That's why I go the extra mile to make myself as... erm... accessible as possible to you.

[user428]

I want some help too.

That one's totally going in the emote folder.

"My fool" lolol, that's a new one.

I think silent film should make a comeback, but shhh, don't tell anyone cuz I wanna pioneer it.

I will be an amazing silent film actress.
