[Bug]: API GIF Output

[F0xbite]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues and checked the recent builds/commits of both this extension and the webui

Have you read FAQ on README?

• I have updated WebUI and this extension to the latest version

What happened?

I upgraded from a1111 1.7 with older AnimateDiff to 1.9 A1111 with latest AnimateDiff. In the old version, the gif is created in the output folder, whether generated from API or WebUI. Now only WebUI creates a GIF.

Is this expected behavior? I see the API response contains the frames, but not the gif.

Of course, I can make a gif myself from the frames, but it seems strange to set FPS in the payload if you aren't going to get a gif output.

Just wanted to ask. Thanks in advance.

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Go to ....
2. Press ....
3. ...

Can you provide an example API request, and the console output from processing it?

From what I can see in the code, the videos should be returned in the API response as base64 encoded data along with the frames. That happens after the videos are saved locally.

sd-webui-animatediff/scripts/animatediff_output.py

Line 50 in 44d2f99

res.images = video_paths if not p.is_api else (self._encode_video_to_b64(video_paths) + (frame_list if 'Frame' in params.format else []))

I was unable to reproduce this with a test API call. Please share the JSON payload and console output if you still have this issue, thanks.
