    One thing I stumbled upon on mine was, for SOME reason, mine wasn't set to forever looping. It took me a good long time to figure that out, but for anyone else dealing with that, there is a dialogue box at the bottom of that menu that deals with looping! Thanks so much for this tutorial, it was IMMENSELY helpful!

    Thank you for this video. As an update, the newer versions of Photoshop consolidated these steps in the Export option under File, but you can still use the shortcut keys.

    Thanks for this. I'm exporting GIFs almost daily from After Effects but needed to use PS to export with alpha channel. Thanks to this I now know what makes my GIFS so ridiculously big. Cheers!

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I found your excellent video, but what I wanted to know is as I am creating the frames and saving them off to build my GIF animated video, what file format should I be saving each frame off at, or should I just save all the frames off as GIFs? Thanks!

    Im making an animated layover for a twitch and the quality dropped so much its absolutely unusable.. tried everything on the video, been messing with it a while and nothing fixes it, it exports as a pixeled mess places that had a fade effect look like they were made with the spray tool on mspaint
    sometimes it looks like its gonna export is a bit better quality, if i click "original" then back to "optimised" it shows up as the pixely mspaint mess, it blows!

    • @Metastrator
      @Metastrator  6 років тому

      I'm sorry to hear. I've had a similar issue to this before when I tried making the background invisible so it was just a floating GIF file. Two questions, what color background are you using (also, is it invisible?) And how many frames total is the file?

    • @markus4979
      @markus4979 6 років тому

      keep in mind gif's are limited to max 256 colors as I understand it, thus comparing to a full color animation / video will always look a lot worse and in some cases is more obvious.
