Forum: Ruby on Rails Carrierwave upload hangs forever

Hi.

I'm making an app where people can share gifs and everything was working
properly or so i thought, the problem came when i tried to upload a gif
with a large amount of frames and i noticed that the upload process, 
which
is handled by carrierwave, hangs forever. I think that the problem rises
when i try to convert this into a "jpeg" using MiniMagick, is anybody 
else
experiencing the same problem? i would like to get some insight on wich 
is
the best way to handle gif uploads in carrierwave and converting them 
into
jpeg's

This is the code im using to convert gifs into jpeg

version :thumb do
    process convert: :jpg
    process resize_to_limit: [200,200]
end

Thanks in advance!

I'm encountering the same issue.  It only seems to be on an animated GIF 
that has many frames, regardless of uploading from file vs. URL.  I've 
successfully uploaded other shorter animated GIFs.  I'm not performing 
any processing other than setting the content type, width, and height on 
the model before saving (via `process :store_meta` in the 
carrierwave-meta[1] gem).
