Here we'll show you how to remove duplicate frames in MP4 with 392 frames and make it into GIF with only 244 frames.

1. Drop or open a file into Honeycam. You can open these animated files like GIF/WebP/WebM/MP4.

2. In the Edit screen below, click Drop frames button.

3. If you select [Delete similar images], the changes of total frames and play time will be shown.

The higher [Similarity Limit], the more frames will be deleted and the smaller the output file size will be. Higher [Similarity Limit] values, however, will make motions more unnatural. So Similarity Limit value has to be not too big or too small. From 20 to 30 is good value normally.

[Limit similar frame time] means the time limit per frame. You can enable this option when the movements are too unnatural due to removal of duplicate frames. The smaller value, however, makes movements more natural, the output file size will be bigger so you'd better keep this value more than 0.1 sec.

4. Jusk click Ok when it's done and Click Save button below!
