Hey guys!

I want to ask something:
So in flash I made an animation which its size is 150x150 and I want to use it as my profile avatar. But when I export it to GIF, the pic is kinda pixeled and the fps is very slow. So my question is, how can I export GIF from flash that it is in High Quality?
Thank you for all your answers! :)

Once they're uploaded gifs can only go at a maximum of 17(maybe 18)fps. Make sure you animate at that frame rate.

And yeah, the quality is gonna suck compared to flash. There's no way around that.

There actually are better exporters though, I know miccool used something for gif's in his sig from anime series on shiftlimits, it doesnt produce the same fuzzy effect as flash's default one.

You'd have to ask him what he used, but it looked alot better and lacked that grain-yness flash always gives.

big part is how it's limited to 256 colors, and flash just uses the 256 color spectrum instead of an optimized palette based on the colors in the source material.


This is a good gif, made in photoshop with a custom palette

This is the shit flash makes.

this is the best i could make it using an optimized palette in a third party tool, photoscape

Notice, the third party tool also produces gif's at any framerate. it moves much faster than the slow flash gif. atleast for me on firefox

you can export an animation as a sequence of pngs or jpegs or whatever (ie. a fucktonne of still images).... then import these into photoshop to make an animated gif with a custom colour palette as pepper mentioned. never done this myself so i'm not sure how to do this specifically. put your googling skills to use, there's bound to be a tutorial on exporting gifs in photoshop around.

Thanks for the answers guys!
