Notion supports - PNG, GIF, JPG, WebP, HEIC. Notion does support WebM, but in Gallery View, you would not able to preview the media. Hence, It kind of defeats the purpose.
Airtable supports - PNG, GIF, JPG. I will investigate further on Airtable's supported image file types.
Yes, having the option of WebP and HEIC would be great.
Found this library for WebP. https://github.com/SDWebImage/SDWebImageWebPCoder
Hopefully in future build, we can add Animated WebP support.
Notion supports Animated WebP.
Found another library for WebP
One issue I'm observing is that generated thumbnails (still or animated) can occupy quite a lot of disk space, especially if markers number in the dozens or hundreds. This can represent hundreds of MB or possibly more than a 1 GB. There are some existing options in MarkersExtractor to reduce frame size and quality, but not a ton of options.
Currently we support two still image types (png, jpg) and one animated image type (gif).
It might be worth adding WebP/WebM and HEIC as export options, which are more modern and have more options for compression. Both support stills and animated sequences. The question is: how compatible are they with the profile platforms we're targeting? (Notion, Airtable, etc.) That would dictate how much utility we'd get out of adding these formats.
