In this video I explain why I prefer the WEBM video file format to GIF for short animations, when rendered from Tahoma2D. And I show how they are perfect for video overlays; showing some of my overlays. And showing how to render them.
Note, you can only render with a transparent background from Tahoma2D, which is an OpenToonz fork, so has virtually the same features as OpenToonz. But OpenToonz adds the camera colour as the background for WEBM files. You can currently open OpenToonz projects into Tahoma, if you have already built an overlay that you'd like to render as a WEBM.
Download Tahoma2D from Tahoma2D.org
One thing I forgot to mention in the video, is that adding a GIF file to Shotcut (my video editor) took a few minutes to import. Whereas adding the same length webm-rendered file took seconds. Another win :-)
