Settings that work on Twitter
For most Twitter GIFs, 15 FPS at 480px width is the sweet spot — a 5-second clip usually lands under 10 MB. If you want it sharper, try 20 FPS at 720px, but watch the file size; you may need to trim the duration to stay under the 15 MB cap.

GIF vs MP4 on Twitter
Twitter accepts both, but they behave differently. GIFs autoplay and loop silently. MP4s show play controls and can carry audio. If you want a looping silent clip, GIF is the right call. For anything longer or with sound, use MP4.
