With a little help from someone on /g/ I've made a Mac app to convert gif's to the more efficient .webm format using CloudConvert as a backend.
All I need now is an icon. Would /g/ like to participate in a contest to make the icon? The only rule is it must roughly follow these guidelines:
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/OSXHIGuidelines/Designing.html
The winner will be decided by popular vote + the developers preference.

lol i should mention that the app will be free and open source software, obviously. but i cant release it without an icon.
Also beta testers would be nice
You basically didn't write a convertor, you wrote a program that uses a API.

yeah, i know. it's not much, but it makes the process a little easier for me, and i hope for some other people.
maybe next i'll look into using VLC to do the conversion instead of using CloudConvert, since it's not supported by quicktime

I don't blame you, at least you got it running. Nice job. ;)
>>51753889
thank you
I am the boss
just use ffmpeg.
no need to upload something and redownload it, what a waste of time.
Embrace the beauty of MATERIAL
>>51753474
holy shit, I am so hyped for the contest
>>51754187
oh, i never used that before desu i didn't even know about it
looks good though, i'm going to try to get something working. you're right about that. if there's no need to upload, why do so?
>>51754216
it's clean. What do you think of the title: "WebmBreh"? There's already a windows ffmpeg wrapper called WebmBro, so i couldn't use that
>>51754216
i like it, breh, looks really good

jesus fucking christ. fuck off pajeet, nobody cares about your shitty implementation of a non-existent problem
>>51754451
can you make it say "Breh" instead of brah? breh is a /fit/ meme
>>51754538
ah, here you go

i know storage isn't usually a problem these days, but the webm's i've converted usually turn out to be a fraction of the size, with no noticeable quality difference, meaning they load faster on 4chan than the equivalent gif. and they're pausable/scrubbable
you're totally right about not using ffmpeg though. i'm going to focus on getting that version out. the only reason i didn't go that route to begin with was because i didn't know much about ffmpeg and so didn't check to see if it would be capable of the job. turns out it's brilliant though. luckily it's not like i've spent years developing this simple application or something.

Why? O wait, don't answer.... Applefags don't use their brain anyway.
