- ==How to make WebMs for 4chan : A guide== //for /ssbg/
- =========================================
- There are several ways to turn a video file into a webm. Some choose to use Gyfcat, which is
- perfectly viable and an easy way to turn a video into a webm/gif. This guide will focus on using
- WebMBro/WebMConverter to make 4chan appropriate webms due to its versatility.
- ==Things you will need:
- =========================================
- 1. video file you want to convert
- 2. WebmBro's WebMConverter (https://github.com/WebMBro/WebMConverter)
- ===To make a WebM using WebMConverter:
- ================================================
- This is largely self-explanatory when you open the program, but I hope to give some useful
- tips for it things either don't work out or remain inefficient.
- 1. Load your video by Browsing in the Input file.
- 2. Rename your output file to whatever you want.
- 3. Delete/keep a title if you want.
- 4. Change resolution:
- -Standard phone recorded videos will have a huge resolution that makes it inefficient to
- view in passing on a thread on 4chan.
- -I've personally found resolutions between 450-600 to be ideal for thread viewing.
- -Remember to leave the other resolution parameter at '-1' to auto-scale the entire video
- -4chan will not allow webms with greater than 2048x2048 resolution.
- 5. Set the time frame of the video that you want to convert into a webm.
- -Remember that 4chan doesn't accept webms that are over 120 seconds/2minutes in length.
- 6. Set size limit to 3 mb. (ignore if making a longer webm for a primer)
- -Sometimes, when making a webm, the video will stop converting prematurely. This is because
- the webm had reached the size limit according to the specs you set it to convert it at. To
- overcome this, particularly for longer webms, changing the resolution might help, but the
- most important step is to change the bitrate.
- -I've found that trying to calculate the exact bitrate (size/time) to be an inefficient art
- since the program will attempt, but not guarantee, an approximate bitrate.
- -A good rule of thumb is to instead see what bitrate the program normally converts your
- requested file at, then lowering that value depending on how much time left you need to
- convert. Again, this is not an exact art, but using proportions can be helpful to maximize
- size and quality for a given amount of time.
- 7. Don't enable audio.
- 8. Convert.
- 9. Enjoy your webm.
- 9a. If you want to make more webms from the same video file, remember to CHANGE THE TITLE of your Output
- file, as the program will otherwise simply overwrite your old webm with your new clip.
