GIF to video #70

Open jace opened 7 years ago

Separate from #55, which deals with resizing while retaining the GIF image format, we need the ability to render a GIF as a video in MP4 or WebM formats.

  1. We need to use an external convertor as PIL/Pillow is clearly not capable. This ticket will depend on a reliable sandboxed external convertor framework being available.

  2. Videos cannot be placed under an <img/> tag and it's unclear if they'll work under <picture><source/></picture> (test pending). Imgee users cannot blindly paste URLs into img tags. Imgee must provide additional API endpoints (and corresponding UI) that helps users construct valid HTML.

Imgur's GIFV format announcement offers a hint on how to think about this. They use a video tag with MP4 and WebM options.
