in thread MP4 to GIF

Before you do this: have the intended recipients of the email explicitly asked for this embedded video? I would hate for you to undertake a lot of work to accomplish this and then for the recipients just to go "Oh, some chopper has sent me an email with an embedded video. That's getting binned right this second." and delete it without reading it. Because that's what I would surely do. :-)

    The recipients have agreed to receive emails - not specifically ones with a linked image

    We already send this kind of email but "manually" create the GIF using an online tool. The reception is pretty good. Such emails have a much higher response rate than usual and an almost zero unsubscribe rate.

    Several companies - notably BombBomb and Loom - make products specifically to do this. Both are very good but we don't want to pay the price they charge for the volume of video emails we send.
