Cropped GIF has larger filesize than original GIF
Hello, I am currently learning to use FFmpeg and trying to produce a cropped GIF that covers 1/5th of the original GIF, using -vf "crop:w:h:x:y". The original GIF is around 3MB in size whereas the cropped GIF produced is almost 10MB. This seems counterintuitive as I would have expected a crop to be smaller in size than the original.
Could someone explain why this would be happening and how I might be able to optimize this? Thank you!
