Animated HEIC/HEIF

[Jay123210599]

How do I make lossless animated HEIC files out of PNG/JPG image sequences using libheif? I am on Windows and used vcpkg to install the tool, but I don't know which directory I should add to system PATH.

Adding image sequence support is planned, but not yet fully implemented.

See #949, #537, #57 etc for different versions of this.

What about videos?

If you asking if HEIF is a video format, then the answer is no. That would be MP4.

If you asking for videos of how to make HEIF files, I don't know of any but I guess there are some on the net.

If you're asking how to make a regular video gifv/mp4 out of an image sequence, you can do so fairly easily with ffmpeg. The exact command line depends on what you want. It won't be HEIF, but it sounds like it'd be good enough for your use case.

@bradh @silverbacknet I'm asking if there's any way I can make animated heif/heic files.

Presumably there are many ways, but libheif does not currently have a tool to do this. See #1371 (comment)
