I've noticed that there's a bunch of flashes that are just animations and I know people don't want to download the thing just to watch a loop so I want to make it more convenient and convert these into webm/gifs somehow. Is this against the rules?

It's ok to post conversions so long as they're not screencaps.

For the Flash files that are just a container for a video it's pretty easy, but for ones that are actually several moving images it's a lot more awkward as far as I know.

What if I record it with a screen recorder. It's not a game/interactive, it's just an animation

Screen recorders can often introduce some sort of quality degradation. Best to try converting it.

Do you have any suggestions to converters because all I have is OBS. I tried a file converter and got an error

From the uploading guidelines:

Bad things to upload:

• Screen captures: Screenshots from games, still images from movies, video snippets from YouTube, etc.
• This includes all content created in sandboxes like Second Life, Minecraft, and similar.
• This also includes all ripped image files from visual novels and similar games.

But that'd also include screen recording the Flash files. For Flash files that are just video containers FFmpeg would be best, for ones that are moving several vector graphics they can theoretically scale to any resolution, so would always be limited by a screen capture.

So FFmpeg is allowed?

So using Swivel should be okay?
