Testing a more performant media pipeline with mov, AVIF, HEIC and HEVC support!

We'll also be generating preview and thumbnail media in AVIF format (with option to preserve original file, without stripping color profiles)

This should improve UX, especially on the mobile app 🚀 #pixelfed

I tried AVIF in Smithereen once. It took actual time to save each image. Like, hundreds of milliseconds. Decided to stay on webp for now.

@grishka
webp quality for photography is horrible, though. I love the lossless mode as a replacement for PNGs, but forcing chroma subsampling for anything requiring decent image quality is a no-no at this point :(

@dansup have you considered looking into JPEG XL? With the Apple Ecosystem adding support this might be the way to go, also because it's the only format that doesn't limit me in my photography so far.
