I'd love to know your thoughts on using WebP (image format that supports animation) versus WebM (video format) for GIFs. Do you think it's worthwhile? If not, why?
- jdiez17 12y ago
  We haven't looked much into WebP as an animation container. And since it's only supported by Chrome (and will likely remain that way) we are not currently considering it. WebM and MP4 both have pretty good codecs for video; definitely a lot better than GIFs, that's for sure.

I love your work. Thank you for mediacrush. Are you guys doing alright, financially, if you don't mind me asking?

  Thank you for using MediaCrush! We publish regular transparency reports[1] about several things, including our finances. We don't have any seed money, it's just coming out of our own wallet.

    What is the most efficient way to donate to MediaCrush? Gittip? If so, is the weekly subscription easy to cancel?
    - jdiez17 12y ago
      If you'd like to set up a recurring donation, then yes, Gittip is the easiest way to do it. That said, we're not picky about donations; we'll accept pretty much every payment method or barter.
