Cons of gifs

can't pause or rewind to catch the details you missed
continually plays so can be distracting
very tedious to record and update every time fzf.fish's UI changes
they all look the same at the beginning with an empty command line, so hard to distinguish as you scroll through
requires users to patiently wait for it to completely loop to see the preview functionality, which is what is most eye catching
the colors are very off in the final gif

Solution

GitHub recently released video upload! https://github.blog/2021-05-13-video-uploads-available-github
one demo video edited to show key bindings at the top showcasing the features that can the user can pause, rewind, seek
screenshots below each feature that statically present each command's most eye catching preview functionality
