r/place 2023 full timelapse (4k, lossless quality)

This upload is not an endorsement of Reddit as a platform, I made it because all of the other uploads are low-quality and none offer a lossless pixel-perfect download for content creators and others to use and zoom into.
This video was made by gathering the full r/place canvas PNGs directly from Reddit's servers for every 30 seconds ending up with a total of 15323 frames, which when ran at 60fps results in a 1800x speed for the timelapse. The download is a 3000x2000 video encoded from the individual PNGs into the QTRLE codec, which preserves RGB video losslessly and is supported by most modern video editors.
The YouTube upload's resolution was extended to 3240x2160 to make sure lower resultions re-encoded by YouTube look acceptable. The pixels are still 1:1 mapped with padding around them as opposed to scaled up to fullscreen like the official Reddit videos did (very ugly for pixel stuff!). The YouTube re-encode was uploaded as QTRLE, although what you see will probably be encoded into something like vp9 or av1 by YouTube themselves and there is nothing I can do about that, but it should still look quite decent.
You DO NOT need to credit me if you use this, but I beg you to use nearest neighbor scaling when zooming into the footage because ugly bilinearly scaled pixel art is very ugly.

Couldn’t get my eyes of the bad apple animation. It’s so impressive how it was constructed frame by frame
-
It's too hard to not recongize Bad Apple is literally playing in r/place timelapse
-
I love how at the end, everyone agree to make a huge FuCK SPEZ from white of the entire canvas, such a good ending
-
Love how voids have become art in this year
-
It’s so impressing what they did at the end.
-
It was an honour to serve the construction of Shego and Sunbathing Shrek
-
Reddit: doesnt post day 6 and final compiled timelapse due to "F SPEZ" Community: Fine I'll do it myself Edit: REDDIT OFFICIAL CHANNEL UPLOADED THE WHOLE TIMELAPSE INCLUDING THE FUCK SPEZ AT THE END, THEY HAVE BALLS OF DIAMOND 🤣
-
I love how Reddit did this to make people forget about the third party apps situation, so people started using it to remind everyone.
-
Touhou fan actually drew the whole Bad Apple MV from the beginning
-
Really like how the void constantly moved around the canvas and expanded and the void creatures were really cool as well
-
my favorite part is 2:28 where the UK flag at the top got destroyed with L + RATIO and a shrek was build then
-
It was my first time participating in the r/place madness. I have to say it was a blast, but I'm glad it is over. In the words of one famous fictional AI "It's been fun. Don't come back."

Danke für diese Bewegtbildproduktion!🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪

3:52 if you look at the bottom right of the map, you will see a poster made by a Vietnamese streamer and his fan, but soon after that, a group of anti fans tryna expand the poster by the Empty blank of orange, griefing the osiris dragon and a Luffy's hand. Vietnamese streamer had to explain to the people what happened there, so The Void gang starts to eliminating the orange blank, left the original poster and came peace again.

i am proud that i was a part of this. keeping technoblade's part alive through the whole thing, helping the jonny razer stream put sunglasses on everything, and watching the art fade away at the very end. It was a nice time, and i hope they bring it back next year. It was an honor creating art with you all.
-
The fact that that they did the entirety of bad apple frame by frame is just true dedication
-
Vietnamese person here, Im sincerely sorry about unintentional expanding of our area and ruining your art. There are some bad people among our community who don't know about how to respect each other and started using bots to do inappropriate things. After that had happened, rest of us and other communities fixed it.
-
Has anyone noticed that in the windows hotbar art there was a time that showed the present time, they really changed pixels every minute.
-
The Bad Apple sure as hell seems to be the main attraction of the r/place 2023.
-
Seeing work that you helped/organized is so rewarding
