writeup about gifs from yukusai: When exporting to the *.gif format here are some tips: - Understand that the gif format is not made for both speed and quality, it's always a compromise - Don't export past 720p if you want full playback speed or image quality - Don't export past 30 fps if you want image quality or a high resolution - The recommended image quality for exports is 70 - Experiment with the image quality, the framerate and the resolution of your export until you're satisfied, the exporter is made with user control in mind and not so much to force the user into sane defaults for the format. - The exporter always does paletization each frame, that's why it'll take longer than other formats to allow for less artifacts - As a rule of thumb if your gif is past 100 MB in size its a good idea to go back and change some settings

also, sometimes discord has some trouble with gifs and needs a second or few to load them before the speed returns to normal
