Created attachment 117792 [details] Gimp's added descriptions of how big is the frame delay for every frame in a gif animation rendered in 60 fps. SUMMARY Gif file format can not specify fps, only frame durations; and specifies them in hundredths of seconds (x*10ms, where x is a natural number). 50 fps = 20 ms, but 60 fps is rendered as a combination of 10 and 20 ms (20, 10, 20, 20, 10, 20, 20, and so on, at least Gimp says so). The problem is that not every file viewer can view gifs in 10ms, actually it's more common to set all 10 ms and 0 ms delays to something a much higher like 100ms (10fps). (Sometimes the minimal delay is even bigger, like 50ms for the older versions of Interner Explorer). It would be useful if the export dialog showed the warning that the 60 fps gif animation can be not played correctly in older browsers or image viewers. (Also it's not a true 60 fps anyway). 50 fps is usually played correctly in newer browsers, so it could be a good alternative. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create some frames. 2. Render animation as 60fps gif. OBSERVED RESULT No warnings. EXPECTED RESULT A bit of warning visible.

Yeah, gif cannot support 60fps.
Git commit 645953a1548b157f9de17d393ece67087432287f by Boudewijn Rempt. Committed on 30/04/2019 at 11:29. Pushed by rempt into branch 'master'. Warn the user when rendering an animation to gif with framerate > 50 This also disables the video options button if the current format is gif, since there are no extra options for rendering to gif, and removes the extra options for gif in the videosaver, so we don't get unusable arguments like baseline profile for gif.
