long .gif = how big

if and how big would a .gif be if it was 400X400 and had a million frames be? about.

what's the color scheme? this is really important.

And how much movement. Animated GIFs use delta compression, where only pixels that change between frames are stored. If every pixel changes from frame to frame, the end file size will be larger than just having a small object moving around the frame.

a bunch of random pictures (from a camera)

In answer, it will be HUEG. It'll be impossible to predict with any certainty how large it will end up because GIF compresses better with large areas of identical colour (and I mean IDENTICAL, not dithered shades of blue in the sky). I tried out a few photos from my own collection and found saving them at 400x400 with 8-bit colour depth gave a typical file size of 150KB. Using photographs as animation frames produces very little saving in delta compression, so just multiply it up...

150K * 1,000,000 = 150,000,000 KB = 146,484 MB = 143 GB

Bearing in mind this is of course only a ballpark figure.

GIF sucks, stop using that piece of shit
