Twitter abuses all media file uploads, each type in its own way. If we want to upload a good looking animation loop from some low-color, high-detail generative art, we have to game their system's mechanisms.
don't upload a video file, they will re-encode it into absolute 💩
create a GIF, which they will auto-convert into a video file 😱
The frames of the GIF will be resized to an even-sized width using an extremely naive algorithm. Your GIF should be an even size (1000, 2000,
This FFmpeg command reads images named frame_[4 char digit].png and converts it to an mp4 using the h264 encoding which Twitter accepts. The bitrate is set to 5M to reduce blocking as much as possible while keeping the size small.
ffmpeg -framerate 10 -i frame_%04d.png -c:v h264_qsv -b:v 5M video.mp4
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v h264_qsv -vf: scale=1080:-1 -b:v 5M output.mp4
