Just a question about GIFs (Patreon)

Make sure you check this recent post if you haven't yet!  My First GIF/Maya animation is almost ready 

So, as you can imagine, this small animation is still rendering (and it will have a second/alternative angle as well)

However, this animation is longer than the previous GIF animations I published (it's 18 seconds long) and it has some very bright colors as well as smooth tones on some areas.
I'm not gonna get too technical but this simply makes it harder to make a good quality GIF due to the way GIFs compress images.

I was doing some tests with the frames that Maya finished rendering so far... the frames look great, but not so good when I turn them into a GIF animation file.

So, in short, You'd be OK if I published the animation as an high quality VIDEO file instead of an oversized GIF file, right?
IMO a video file is better for several reasons, it compresses much better (more quality for the same filesize) it's more practical (huge 1080x1080 GIFs have trouble playing on slower computers, especially on phones! But video files aren't as "heavy") and GIF files have a limited number of colors (just 256 colors)
I'll even loop the video a couple of times =P (even though you can play videos on repeat on any video player)

In short, a video file is better than a GIF file so you'll probably prefer video anyway! But I thought I'd ask anyway =P
