so is there any solution to this issue ? or are there some limitations set on swww by default ? I have enough ram and gpu vram tho

This shouldn´t be a problem, no. Does it only happen with this particular gif?

are you on the latest git version?

EDIT: judging from the log format, you aren't. Try it on the latest git version then.

The latest git version would be the git variant from the AUR (swww-git). 9.5-2 is the latest released version.
