Totally true, ars. I came here to nerd-rage that, no, a GIF is NOT “literally a sequence of idependent images.” That is NOT what makes common video formats use less bandwidth, and I thank you for making this clear.
One thing you can do with video that you can’t do with GIF is programmatically describe motion — shift frame to the left, for example. GIF, you’d have to re-draw it all.
