Thank you so much for your patience in teaching me something new! Much, much appreciated!
With the help of your observations, I can confidently say that the different dither methods don’t play much of a role after filtering with a better palette has already been done. So palette-filtering -if we can refer to it as such- is the actual MVP in resolving this issue.
animated webp may also be an option
Hehe :P , I’ll take note of this and perhaps resort to it the next time. The whole palette-filtering stuff seemed like some occult incantations that somehow worked. But I would much rather use a different (sane) format instead.
Again, I would like to stress that I’ve very much enjoyed this interaction! While it’s been (mostly) totally unrelated to the original post, this has actually been one of the most informative interactions found within its comments. Therefore, thank you!
Glad you’re so appreciative and worked through it! I gladly share, discuss, and respond.
I’ll have to read up on palette filters. :) I do semi-regularly use ffmpeg, but palette filters are not something I have heard or used before.
I assume in this case it’s a downsampling into fewer colors, evading the issues of almost-same-colors?
Especially given the last square/check pattern makes me thing of codecs splitting into square blocks and then encoding those. It could make sense that this division leads to different results for one reason or another, which then produces a check pattern without it being there before.
