The gif is lower quality than the mp4 or webm formats which we serve on our website and the embeddable GIFS player[1] if your browser supports it.
We've chosen to prioritize speed over quality for the initial launch so at this time but are working on transcoding to various sizes and qualities to return based on the client's device size and internet speed in the player or when someone wants to share a super high quality (and file size) GIF.

- arcticfox 10y agoHey, the site's not working for me. Possibly because the source video is long? I'm trying to create a 10-second gif starting at 71:16 of https://gifs.com/watch?v=LW6hPl6zx5Q https://gifs.com/watch?v=LW6hPl6zx5Q. I get "Your Gif could not be created at this time.". I hope you're able to fix it, gifs.com looks fantastic. If/when it works, I'll use it a lot!
- anonfunction 10y agoThat indeed looks to be the problem, we have some ideas in store to fix this but for now source media is limited to one hour. I filed an issue to report the correct error message and log this as an event so we could see how many times it's happening. Sorry about that and I hope you find some other AoE videos to gif!
- arcticfox 10y agoCool, thanks for the quick response!
