But can it convert animated webp’s back into the gifs they’re based off of anyway? That’s what makes me really hate the webp standard. If I save an animated image as webp no video converter will touch it that I’ve found. I just want my gifs and mp4s back :(
You can convert it to frames with imagemagick, then use ffmpeg to turn that into a gif:
magick animated.webp frames.png
ffmpeg -i frames-%d.png animated.gif
EDIT, or with a single imagemagick command:
convert -format gif file.webp file.gif
Weird that it can't get the format from that .gif extension
Yeah, I was looking into that. They use the webp muxer for generating files, but not for decoding. I'm not sure exactly why. That seems to be the reason ffmpeg can generate animated webp, but not read it.
ffmpeg -i file.webp file.mp4
probably works, ffmpeg is mainly a video program anywayNot yet supported, unfortunately: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/4907
What does priority wish mean?
