Comment (by gabrielstuff):

 As stated here (https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/28474#comment:9) 22
 months ago, I would be happy to help.
 I disagree with the idea of letting GIF in there own space. I really think
 Wordpress should be easy for everybody, even for people who upload 800x600
 px GIF instead of 400x300 and who end up with frozen frame. It feels
 buggy. Every young people around upload gif and I always tend to explain
 to them to resize before upload but they won't. Even when a simple tool
 like giphy exists.

 I was wondering why not using a library that abstract the use of GD and
 image magick and that would allow for more advanced image processing.

 As for audio, Wordpress uses https://github.com/JamesHeinrich/getID3, why
 not using an abstraction librery such as
 https://github.com/kosinix/grafika/ or an other, to replace
 https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/0a349c964178343f7668abf065bb86fc114b8332
 /wp-includes/class-wp-image-editor-imagick.php and
 https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/dd6da701b286579819cd6aa518aa2d7018efd759
 /wp-includes/class-wp-image-editor-gd.php

 Also if not possible why not just use the same method that @markoheijnen
 found and we confirmed 22 month ago ?
 (http://php.net/manual/fr/imagick.coalesceimages.php) It won't break
 anything to GD and will bring resized GIF for imagemagick compatible
 server.

 Thanks !
