A Youtube vid can't be watched simultaneously with the transcript. You have to close out the page, wait for it to load (wait even longer because their awful new update), and whatever shot in question would have benefited from a gif will now be drowned in the video as a whole. As for the colors, most of them are going to be kept to small sizes anyway. I don't see many gifs having to exceed 250 pixels in size on the article.

:Under a persistent connection of 100kbps test using three common browsers, you can still have a Youtube video playing without buffer and read the page at the same time. On that point, Youtube's HTML5 format (or, "awful new update") actually helps to reduce the buffer issue. It is better to use GIFs sparsely, that is only when all other options is not available and it is the only necessary way to present the scene/shot. — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 04:21, 18 December 2012 (EST) | |||
