univbee posted:I used an online gif optimizer and had to drop 3/4 of the frames, enable transparency detection with a 5% detection rate, and then compressed it at level 30. Not quite ideal but that seemed to be the best way to get it sub-100k without destroying things too much. That explains it. Photoshop CS4 doesn't have much in the way of advanced gif optimization options so all I could do was reduce number of colors used or frames or just start downing the quality.

The original is pretty smooth and I wanted to keep it that way:  All I had to do was crop the canvas and create a mask layer that hides the text that reaches inside the frame.

Wow I love these cyberpunk/old school pc game ones. O_O tempted to get a new av. Do you have some more of those? Great thread, btw, thank you!

Weird, here's a file from photoshop cs6: all frames, no dither, 256 colors, and 81kb. It's like magic really.

I fully concede my PS skills in gif creation is lacking, as I was using PS CC. That looks amazing.

EDIT do you have a rough step-by-step for how exactly you accomplished this in Photoshop? I own PS but haven't done GIF's with it, and the few stabs I took at it never gave me a file that small. univbee fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Feb 7, 2017 |

Seems like for some odd reason toggling the transparency option has a tremendous effect on file size (it's 250kb with it off). Even though the gif has no transparency...

Afaik the transparency layer is used per frame, so if frame 2 only has a small number of pixels changed from frame 1 it'll mark them all as transparent, which cause the layer before it to bleed through in those spots

These are all fantastic! I almost took the Bugs Bunny one because I love Looney Tunes, but I have been holding out for what I really want: I don't think there are nearly enough alligator avatars in this thread.  Would anyone be willing to help with that?

I used http://ezgif.com. First resize, but then it artifacted weird, so I chose a different method that worked, then crop. For optimization I removed frames and optimised until it got to under target then adjust speed until it looks normal. Mostly trial and error. And I made the base gif from the video using imgur.

I tried doing it through Gimp after using the Video to gif converter on imgur. Converted, saved, opened in gimp, selected area I wanted and cropped rest; shrunk to 150x150 re-optimised and saved but it was over sized. So then I slowly shrunk/removed frames till the monster you saw emerged.

So many thanks to MeccaPrime, Dinosaurmageddon, Megabound, and Univbee for all the great alligators (and crocodiles). I picked my favorite but saved a whole bunch to cycle through later on. It goes great with my name change!  I also have to say, Sir AIDS, that I really dig the King's Field avatar of Al Hunt. Dude never stops eating.
