April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberI just uncensored a video. The first one in my E6 uncensoring career.
I also had trouble matching the playback speed. The original was a GIF convert to webM at 6 fps but for the life of me couldn't export it at that, this one is 30, and anything lower and photoshop (or premiere and shutter encoder and handbrake) started to skip important frames. I COULD have exported to GIF and then back to webM but I didn't wanted to loose color and I don't know how aPNG works, so...
I also could have exported the animation directly from procreate, which is what I used to edit it. I'm gonna try that out later with the other ones.

JanitorGIF fileformat works with frame times, not by framerate. Because of this, twitter MP4 files are usually encoded at variable framerate, which does still have its issues. So it would definitely help a fuckload if this artist wasn't one of many who literally only post on twitter for no apparent reason and there was the original GIF file available elsewhere...
What I usually do is I just do extremely fast MP4 to GIF encoding with FFmpeg which gives me the exact frame times for all the frames, then explode the MP4 into PNG files. After this I can simply match those frame times into correct speed in vegas or something. Usually animations like these either use some constant framerate or are divideable by some common value like 24 FPS so some frames are twos and some threes which makes things even easier. Also because the frames are identical, they compress easily losslessly so they should look fine even with GIF and not be too bloated with APNG.
APNG there are couple assmeblers which allow you to just input PNG files and manually define frame times or just FFmpeg with ffmpeg -i input.avi -plays 0 output.apng to make it loop infinitely with desired other options.
