But can it convert animated webp’s back into the gifs they’re based off of anyway? That’s what makes me really hate the webp standard. If I save an animated image as webp no video converter will touch it that I’ve found. I just want my gifs and mp4s back :(
Yeah, I was looking into that. They use the webp muxer for generating files, but not for decoding. I’m not sure exactly why. That seems to be the reason ffmpeg can generate animated webp, but not read it.

You can convert it to frames with imagemagick, then use ffmpeg to turn that into a gif:
magick animated.webp frames.pngffmpeg -i frames-%d.png animated.gifEDIT, or with a single imagemagick command:
convert -format gif file.webp file.gifWeird that it can’t get the format from that .gif extension

ffmpeg -i file.webp file.mp4probably works, ffmpeg is mainly a video program anywayNot yet supported, unfortunately: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/4907
What does priority wish mean?
It works?!
Pretty sure
ffmpegis just black magic at this point.
