ok how can the beginning be a transparent background fading into the animation? I did rightclick and open the video in a new tab and the fadeing was from a black background, so he not used just the e621 Color. transparent is actually impossible in video formats, gifs can, to my knowledge.

WebM actually does support alpha transparency, thus enabling the fade-in. You're thinking of the mp4 format which doesn't support transparency at all.

As for the GIF format, it does not support an alpha channel; any given pixel in any given frame is either fully opaque or fully transparent. If you need an alpha channel for an animated image, you're better off using the Animated PNG (APNG) format.
