Honest question because I might be behind on how common environments behave: is webm the format your OS/device/workflow produces by default or one you convert to for sharing/optimization?
- leipert 5y agoNot GP, but on a Mac, which produces mov per default. Started using Kap to record to webm: https://getkap.co/ https://getkap.co/
- eyelidlessness 5y agoSorry, to clarify, all of my devices are Apple so I expect .mov with H264/H265 encoding. I’m wondering if other devices encode to webm without conversion now, and it’s a format people expect to be able to exchange by default.
- onli 5y agoThe Android emulator when doing a screen recording can only select between .gif and .webm, at least on my system. So especially when working on an Android app I would expect that, yes.
- PurpleFoxy 5y agoWebm and webp have become pretty standard usage on the internet now. Imgur, reddit and many other major sites use it by default when support is detected. Usually when I save an image in the browser it will be webp.
- toastal 5y agoAnd just it time for AV1. 11th-gen Intel chips have hardware decoding too.
- PurpleFoxy 5y agoWebm is one of the formats my screen recorder supports and seems to be the one my coworkers use. It’s pretty convenient since it works without having to install proprietary codecs and it even works on safari now.
- jgalt212 5y agoYes, webm is much much better than GIFs for the same purpose. Webmy.com is my giphy clone, but using webm.
