What do you use for GIFs and Where do you upload

Sharing one from @elgeko live show yesterday at Museum of Crypto Art. People were throwing ideas and photos, @juliakponsford made the still image and I just played a bit with animation of it.


![final fr s.gif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bil.prag/48FDixZPW77EByU2v3Sabar2xjjQtcS31D1jQ1NGnKfwtR2tV18jMQVYhxUK2iAfUj.gif)

I don't do a lot of Gif animations but every time I do there is that problem of how to make them, how to make them not huge (in MB file size) and how to upload them.

I usually end up using Premier Pro and exporting as animated gif and results are fine but the size is usually not. So then i end up cutting the resolution and frame rate and not being happy about it. (i think the max upload for hive frontends is 15mb)

What do you use for animated gifs? Where do you store them so you can share them?

I'm struggling with the same thing. I use Premier Pro and Photoshop and all the gimmicks those programs have to reduce the file size, but still it all usually leaves me pretty disappointed and the end result is not at all what I was looking for. Resizing the image is the most effective but if the animation is too long, let's say over 10 seconds, nothing seems to be enough.

Perhaps using only three or max. 6 colors in the art to begin with? Could also generate fun stuff, dunno. I feel your pain. Your pain is my pain. A gif headache.

did not think about reducing colors. that can work in some situations.

i think I tried every export option in Premier :D Photoshop I found to complicated for gif creation. probably only because I was not using it long enough.

I only use Photoshop with gifs to reduce the file size. If it's not too large to work in Photoshop at all. Because that can also happen. Although I've already done almost everything I can in Premiere. I have no idea how to create gifs with photoshop, or actually do but I think it might actually be, like you said, too complicated.

I LOVE THIS REMIX!

Compressing GIFs is a bitch to keep them looking nice, @elgeko is much better at this than I am tbh, the one thing I have found is reducing the dimensions seems to be the best way to retain quality, any of the optimizing tools usually degrade it from what I can tell.

thanks.
cutting the frame rate also helps but it does not always work. this is 12 per second and is ok, but sometimes I just can't go under 20.

That is a good question, maybe resizing it (scratch that as I just read juliakponsford's comment 😅).  Or maybe if you use irfanview to extract the images of the gif,  to recompile it with a different program after.  Irfanview gave me great size reduction results, and since you can extract all the image from a GIF into a folder, remaking a GIF with those converted images could do wonders.   Also Irfanview is free, it you wanna give a shot.  Eitherway, I am curious of what you will find to fix your challenge 🙂

that could be an option. also when making a gif from photos maybe it would be better to make it into a final resolution and then making video to gif.
