Ah, that artifacting is just part of the conversion process. Happens to all WebP but some worse than others based on settings. My preview has some as well, just less obvious. The converter I use has some limitations to length and frame rate that might make it better assuming they’re soft limitations that ffmpeg can ignore. That’s why I include sources and HQ in the posts. WebP is just inferior.
WebP definitely introduces some jank, but I think Lemmy is adding more on top of what’s already there. If I open up the Catbox upload and the Lemmy preview side-by-side, I can see some weird stuff exclusive to the preview that Lemmy generates.
Thanks for replying though. I think I’ve already spent enough time thinking about how to upload lewds lol so I’ll just stick to stills for now and maybe try again later or if we ever get better animation/video support on Lemmy
