A transparent webm probably would have worked for your use case. Or if you were willing to rebuild the animation, it looks simple enough for SVG.

- ekkeke 5y agoUnfortunately, I don't think iOS safari has webm support yet.
- postalrat 5y agoWill it break the page if this support is missing?
- Wevah 5y agoHEVC video with transparency is apparently possible[1], though I’m not sure if it’s supported on non-Apple platforms. [1]: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/506/ https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/506/
- woojoo666 5y agoI really hope Apple doesn't use this as an excuse not to support WebM, which is a web standard
- zanny 5y agoAll the modern media formats are unsupported by Apple. We could be using avif for images and webm av1 streaming and video if not for Apple products. Its intentional sabotage by Apple at this point on behalf of MPEG-LA, it seems.
- ksec 5y agoSo 99.99% of times on HN people seems to think Apple is an AOM founding member and hence they will definitely support AVIF and AV1 ( not true ). On another day Apple is working on behalf of MPEG-LA when its VVC patent pool doesn't even include Apple.
- Eric_WVGG 5y agoYeah but the fx guys certainly didn't have the js or css chops to make most of that work. I think the real correct solution would have been a Lottie animation, but there was no time to train the fx guys.
