hi PLEASE reveal how you make your GIFs so clear and non-pixelated

hi !! first of all i use 1080p episode downloads which really helps with the quality. keeping the frame speed lower also helps with quality, so if i use every frame i put the frame delay on around 0.06. also sharpening is really important and i use similar settings to these. i also make sure that my colouring doesn't make any part of the gif too pixelated, because sometimes adjusting certain colours can make parts of the gif really pixelated or grainy :/.

for example for this gifset i had to lower the saturation completely for the cyans, the greens and the blues.

and this was what it looked liked before i did that:

and this is what it looked like after:

much clearer to look at and a lot less grainy and pixely (tho not as good as i would've liked but oh well). this is because gifs can only have up to 256 colours:

so certain colours are prioritised which can also help to result in the grain/pixelation. which is why export settings are also extremely important:

i usually use selective and diffusion, but if i have a gradient or lots of colours like in this gifset i sometimes use adaptive and pattern. i'm not as a huge fan of pattern bcs it creates tiny little boxes so i usually stick to diffusion if i can. also switching between selective and adaptive helps to see which colours are prioritised and whether it makes a huge difference on what your gif looks like, so you can play around with those settings until it's to your liking.

for example this is what a gif with a gradient kinda thing looks like with a diffusion export setting:

you can see the orange colour isn't very smooth and you can see the layers of it but with pattern it looks much better:

much better !! i did end up using selective and pattern here as there wasn't much of a difference between using adaptive and selective even tho the colour tables looked kinda different:

selective is on the left and adaptive is on the right:

here's a more in depth explanation about the in export settings: x

also make sure that your gif is the correct size for tumblr - x

that's all i can think of right now and sorry that it got a bit long and slightly off topic ahsdjdkjd. if anyone wants me to make a full gif tutorial from start to finish let me know !! and feel free to ask any more questions <3

JJ’s how to gif using timeline animation instead of frames

So here it is. This is just the basics, It covers the set up and the steps to do it. I will perhaps do a part 2 in the future that covers how to use text and things like that. But if you’re interested in making gifs with timeline, master this stuff first:

IDA do you have any advice or pointers for gif-making? yours are always so high quality with such great colors! i just started trying to make gifs and i feel like I'm constantly struggling with the export settings trying to make it look decent without being a gigantic file 😭

hiii and thank you so much 💗💗💗

I'm not really sure what to say since I've mostly learned by trial and error, so I guess the biggest piece of advice would be practice!!

I'm sure there are loads of gif tutorials out there and I may make my own one day but here are some tips I can give related to quality (I use Photoshop so these are probably specific to that):

  • The higher quality video you have to begin with, the easier it will be to make the gifs look great. I go for 1080p or higher (if possible)
  • When you import video frames to layers, be aware of duplicate frames as they will make the gif look choppy, it's a framerate issue - I use a very simple video editing software to cut out the scenes I want to gif, but if you have a more advanced one, you should be able to adjust the framerate so PS won't create duplicate frames. idk I'm not an expert on this exact thing I just delete the duplicates manually
  • For tumblr posts, the full width is 540px, half is 268px, go for these to avoid tumblr compressing the gifs
  • I usually set the frame time delay between 0.06-0.09 seconds since always prefer them a bit slower, which allows for seeing more detail. I check the speed by going into File -> Export -> Save for Web (Legacy) and clicking the Preview, because just playing the gif in PS will usually have lag
  • After wrangling frames, cropping and resizing etc., I convert to video timeline and convert all the frames to one Smart Object before sharpening and coloring. I use Smart Sharpen and Gaussian Blur filters with different settings, making copies of the smart layer and playing around with the opacity settings (I have this process recorded/automated as an action, but often have to adjust afterwards based on the clip). There are many different ways to do this and probably some tutorials too.
  • As for coloring, I don't use any automated processes, but just play around with adjustment and color fill layers. A gif with my usual sharpening and relatively simple coloring may have layers looking like this:

I think this is where the practice mostly comes in, because you'll discover new things with every gif you make. it's also the most fun part for me :) again, there are a lot of tutorials out there, and some scenes require more adjustments than others (especially dark scenes). really, Selective Color and Curves may be the most important adjustment layers (to me at least lmao)

As for file size, these are my usual export settings:

reducing the number of colors will always reduce the file size, but I'd usually rather trim the length (or split it into two gifs) or the image size (cropping a bit more off the height). Going for 40-80 frames is usually reasonable, and you can do more for very static gifs or smaller image sizes!

I hope some of this is useful, good luck and happy giffing 💗💗💗

AHHH THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY, ANON! It always makes me so happy, when I get any kind of compliments on my gifs, so this really really really warms my heart!! ♥

I did a gif tutorial like 1,5 years ago which you can find here! My sharpening has changed slightly from back then, so I'll just tell you what I do now.

Much more detail under the cut (this got way longer and detailed than I had expected)!

This is a walk through of my sharpening/effect process, so if you want any tricks about colouring or anything let me know!
