Why does IMAGEREADY slow down your animations?
Hi there
Basically Ive just saved out an animation as a MOV file from after effects at 25fps and imported it into IMAGEREADY. Ive then saved it optimised as an animated gif, but when I play the gif, it is alot slower than the original animation, is there some setting I need to change?
Thanks in advance!

25 fps? That’s completely crazy. Use 12 fps or 15 fps maximum. It’s impossible to create larger animated GIFs at that high framerates. Apart from that, GIFs work in jiffies (some fraction of a second) not actual frames. It’s a completely different concept. Make sure you remove redundant frames and adjust the display length of the remaining frames to get the best compression with minimum data.

You can delete and re-arrange frames in ImageReady’s timeline. You can also determine a duration for each image, so longer periods where nothing happens really only consist of one image. In your example this would be the phases whenever the little guy stops and does nothing. If it is an option, you could even split your banner into multiple small tiles and embed them in a HTML-table to assemble them again. This could decrease overall filesize even more. Of course it’s only an option if your client knows how to work with e-mail templates and you are able to set it up this way.
