Where i can post new clips for free now?

jeans innate erect boat mysterious entertain unwritten degree far-flung desert

This post was mass deleted and anonymized with Redact

how else can I post clips to reddit without feeling guilty?

Since Gfycat has been backed up in the Internet Archive, you can replace some characters like this to resurrect almost any clip:

BEFORE:

https://gfycat.com/giganticcarefulgaur.gif

AFTER:

https://web.archive.org/web/0if_/https://thumbs.gfycat.com/giganticcarefulgaur-mobile.mp4

For the people who use the browser extension Redirector, here's a rule to automatically do that for every dead gfycat link you click on (save this as anything.json and click on Import):

{
    "createdBy": "Redirector v3.5.3",
    "createdAt": "2023-09-10T03:35:36.348Z",

            "exampleResult": "https://web.archive.org/web/0if_/https://thumbs.gfycat.com/giganticcarefulgaur-mobile.mp4",
            "error": null,

Imgur sucks ass and redgifs is ass what’s everyone using now to post stuff

I tried to put a GIF I didn't retrieve in the Wayback Machine and it links there, but it isn't actually playing or letting me download. Is it just slow or will the WBM not work for this?

A few minutes ago, gfycat shut down forever. Thanks /u/Mandinga33 for the help throughout the years. Too bad it ended like this. Hopefully someone will make a worthy replacement.

It's 8pm in my timezone. Site is being deleted in 4 hours. Am I totally screwed or is there any chance to bulk download my videos from https://gfycat.com/@solateor

Welp, on September 1st everything goes. Feel free to complain about snapchat or talk about any projects you are trying to archive here.

Im soo sad

I would like to know if Gifbrewery is discontinued because I can't find it in the U.S. Mac app store anymore. Is it still available in other countries?

Is there a good alternative?

Thanks in advance

I’ve tried most of the main downloading options people have shared here but I’ve been unable to scrub everything from my profile so far. I know all of these programs likely have simple instructions but I’m not super tech savvy and dyslexic so it’s hard for me to really grasp these sorts of things.

If anyone’s done a video tutorial or has a “Downloading Gfycat Profiles for Dummies” instruction list I’d be really grateful.

Is there a way I can move my entire gyfcat account over to imgur without manually downloading each video?

A site that doesnt randomly delete your files like ImgurA site that offers Catalogues/Custom Categories or Folders like Gfycat does so you can sort your uploads.A site that doesnt butcher the quality like Imgur does. Gfycat offered 4K 60 whereas Imgur seems limited to 1080p 30 or atleast it looks like it.

Edit: Just to test something outI uploaded a 1920x1080 60 fps with a bitrate of around 19000 kbps clip I rendered to imgur. Their re-encode of the upload results in a file that is: 960x540 29,97 fps with a 1290 bitrate so it looks awful

I understand they don't want to pay to store and play videos anymore, but why not at least allow users to have their video links automatically redirect to other upload sites? The cost for hosting archived links that just redirect to other sites would be minimal.

I'm trying to figure out the potential cost, it would take to host gfycat, as I could potentially make an alternative site to gfycat. My only concern would be the cost.

I could go with the good old Cloudflare pages, with S3-like storage that would be cheap. My only concern would be monthly estimates, cost, userbase, etc.

Hello! I've been uploading a 10 second video on the gfycat.com site's "upload" menu for over an hour now, and it's been stuck on the "encoding" screen. This issue has persisted between multiple browsers and different video files (all of which are mp4s) over the course of the past few weeks. Does anyone happen to know what's causing this or how to fix it? Thanks!

Tried two times for same file with no luck. It can't pass encoding process.

Can only switch to HD on desktop

At least we know someone at Snapchat knows it exists

Wanted to make a separate post vs commenting here so this gets more reach. I updated GfycatDownloader with some new download options. You can now download all of your own collections (public and private, requires auth key), download all of another users collections (public only), download all of your like (public and private, requires auth key), and download all of another users likes (public only). Make sure to read the full Github page for extra information.

It's explained at the bottom of the Github page on how to get an auth key but make sure to read this thread first on how to get access to Gfycat.
