GIF export Is very slow and progress not shown #55

Closed jackburton79 closed 1 year ago

jackburton79 commented 1 year ago

When using the GIF export option, there is no progress information, and the process Is very slow and memory hungry when there are many frames

Using GIF export with FPS lower than 30 fps makes the resulting animation look like "Benny Hill" (speed-up) clips on both NetSurf and Web+ :-D

Might warrant adding a warning text and/or suggesting 30 fps for GIF export?

Thanks for the new 2.7.0 release, BTW!

I think It should just work also with less than 30 fps, i guess. I'll have a look

Since commit 3de3fc6921bd9b4eca5ac5e3f9daabe0569f1ef7 progress is shown in the GUI. Progress bar is not yet filled correctly, though.

I just tried to reproduce this but couldn't. I was able to record a clip with 5 fps without it looking accelerated.

Is this with version 2.7 ?

Yup. I've used 10 fps (IIRC, might have been 15).

I'll double check in both 64 and 32 bits, just in case, and report back.

Ok. I've tried several combinations (and testing the resulting .gif files with my trusted IrfanView (on Windows)...

Seems like the files are just fine, and what I was seeing was a combination of not having enough frames to to capture movements reliably (makes sense :-D), and further weirdness in visual perception due to my slow PC/VM combination.

Please disregard the noise. and as always... thanks a lot for your continued work related to BeOS/Haiku!

Nice to hear this. Closing this issue, then.
