Specific transformation for GIF

  • Hi, I’ve started using Cloudinary plugin and it works quite well. But among all my media files there are some GIFs (~100 files) I would like to display as MP4 but they are obviously considered as image by default so they inherit from transformations for image.
    Is it possible to specify custom transformations for GIF files in an other way than specifiying transformations on taxonomy or file directly?

    I guess it would be possible to do something with filters but there are so many and there is no examples so I feel a bit loss.

    Hi @kloh,

    As documented here, it is a matter of switching the extension.
    Let me work on a custom filter so you can use it on your side. In the meantime, could you let me know how big your GIFs are?
    Thanks in advance.

    Best,

    Hi @kloh,

    Thanks for your patience.

    Here are the steps to do this:

    You will need to first add the f_mp4 individual transformation to the asset as documented here. Then you will need to add the following code in your functions.php

    add_filter(
'cloudinary_pre_image_tag',
static function ( $tag ) {
// take the image element and switch it to a video tag 
if ($tag['id'] == '93576'){
$tag['tag'] = "video";
$tag['type'] = "video";
$tag['format'] = "mp4";
unset($tag['atts']['height']);
unset($tag['atts']['width']);
unset($tag['atts']['decoding']);
unset($tag['atts']['loading']);
unset($tag['atts']['alt']);
unset($tag['atts']['data-responsive']);
unset($tag['atts']['srcset']);
unset($tag['atts']['sizes']);
$tag['atts']['0'] = "controls";
unset($tag['loading']);
}
return $tag;
}
);

    Hope that helps.

    Best,

    Loic

    Thank your for your feedback!

    So to be clear I still need to add f_mp4 transformation on the file directly. Not that ideal but I keep it as an option and give it a try. ??
