How does it work?



MobaMotion creates a single PNG file (like this one) which contains the first picture of the animation and the "diff blocks" of the following pictures.

When the animation is displayed on a webpage, for each animation frame, the corresponding "blocks" are painted onto the previous picture using native Javascript code

This allows very efficient compression ratio for screen capture while keeping the solution natively supported on all browsers.
