Render settings for website

Your biggest issue with GIFs is color banding and file size (bandwidth considerations). But I have no idea why your animation is grainy. It’ll be good if you can provide a link to the GIF animation.

Thanks for your reply Roland.

We can’t ‘go live’ with this in its current state.

Just out of interest, what settings would you apply?

I normally work to video production standard and seldom do any web-related work, hence the need for help!

Thanks.

It’s been about 5 years since I did a GIF animation. I recall setting up the project as per normal, other than the comp size. It was only in the Output Module that I set the output to GIF. Off course no fields would be good in the Render Module.

BTW, you can include a still image of the animaiton within your posts here at the COW.

Never ever produce GIFs directly from AE!!! They will look shabby no matter how you tweak your settings. Render your banner out as a *.mov and import that file into Image Ready. Adjust and optimize your file there, including color palette and reduction of redundant frames.

Hi Mylennium, while I agree that there are better tools out there to optimize GIF animations, I have not had a problem with outputting to GIFs directly from AE.

I have made a great deal of gif animations. I use AE, then export it in an image sequence, chose tiff. save it to a file, then Import it into image ready, fix it up a bit if needed from there. It works like a charm.
