    GIF supports only 256 colours and no sound, so keep clips short. An optimized palette is generated per clip for the sharpest result.

    About HEVC and GIF

    HEVC: HEVC (H.265) halves file size compared to H.264 and is used by modern iPhones and 4K cameras, but many PCs, browsers and older phones cannot play it.

    GIF: Animated GIF loops short silent clips and plays everywhere — chats, emails, websites and presentations — without a video player.
