Maybe there's a setting for video quality or something? :headscratch:

hmmm....I'm going to have to look into that. See if i needa tweak this and that.
It looks just fine when i play the animation while I'm working on it, but when I set it here as my sig, it doesn't look at as good :sweat:

Maybe the image/file size is too large... Try reducing the image size.

how do I merge so many gif images together to get the "animation"? I have adobe imageready.. :sweat:

@kt, your signature gif of azumi, it looks nice, but the quality is reduced. Is that the big file you were talking about? nice work so far. :applaud:

can't remember exactly, without actually launching the app.. put them in one folder, then you can import the entire photo, then order them in the sequence you want them to appear... something like that.

Thanks, I'm working on fixing it right now. Resizing it and trying to make the overall file size smaller :sweat:

i guess resizing it and reducing it, sacrifices the quality of the res. and the clarity, somehow if you can maintain it and still reduce it down, that would be ideal, but not sure if it is possible. Good luck. :thumbsup:

Yea....I tried....if i kept it any bigger, i can't upload it on Imageshack. I'll see if any of my friends can help me out on this.

That's pretty much it... You tweak with the timing duration of each frame, cut out some frames to reduce overall file size, etc., then Save Optimized... :D

There might be other programs like Ulead GIF Animator or the one K.T. is using that doesn't require you to capture individual frames first (which is a pain)....

Reducing the image size doesn't neccessarily sacrifice quality: you're just throwing away extra pixels that you wouldn't see in a smaller image anyways...

You also might have too many frames for the gif which might make the animation run poorly or take too long to load.

If I had a clip of the video, I could take a whack at it like I did for Qilver's gifs... :)

Ryoko-chan wowing the press corps. :smitten:

Something just hit me: You might have to sacrifice frames for quality, but I'm not sure... I'll have to see if there are any constraints for animated gifs...

These animated gifs, like my avatar and sig, only consist of about 18-20 frames:

I went from 36 to 28 frames....I'm trying to get back down to 21-24

mine has about ~40 frames now, my full sequence version is 68 frames, but it's over 250kb.

One other thing: does your program automatically reduce the number of colors to 256?

Animated GIFs can only have 256 colors max, so maybe your software is not reducing the number of colors from what your PC is set up for (24/32-bit color, I'm guessing) to 8-bit color (256 colors).

You might check that. :)

I reduced it to 256...and yea my pc is set to 32 bit color......

I sacrificed frame count over image size: a 70x70 frame of Ryoko-chan just won't cut it. ;)

250Kb ain't bad considering some of the people here are using gifs over 500Kb... :sweat:

Hmmm.

Have you tried making any other animated gifs? Are they as bad/good?

Maybe it's your gif program. :sweat:

i'd leave it full size, but the last time i did that on another forum, i ran out of bandwidth in about 2 weeks :doh: :grumble:
