 * Since GIFs sites are so popular today and many of them convert GIFs to MP4, I’d
   love to have such feature and happy to pay for it.

 * Very basic animated GIF conversion has been available since version 4.6 was released
   in April. Like other video conversions it requires FFMPEG or LIBAV on your server.
   For now the GIF is actually replaced by the MP4, but in the future I plan to 
   retain the original file and treat GIFs as much like videos as I can.

 * That is awesome! being able to keep both files and the user could download the
   gif when right-click on the player, when embedding in twitter, like giphy does.
   I know it needs FFMPEG (and https if you want to embed the player in Twitter).
 * Also option to convert the mp4 back to gif so have both files to offer to the
   user if they want to download it…
 * Subscribed to this topic, please let me know when Pro version kickass.
 * 5 stars!
