Ok people,

here's the problem I have 7 basic frames in 468x60. Adding a small transitional effect.

The final gif looks like this:



However the filesize is 250KB, which is way too large. Need to get around 50KB in a decent quality. Anybody can help me out? Using Ulead products.

hav u tried Gif Movie Gear from here ... hope this helps..

Hi rancho, I think you use 7 frames, without alpha channel, well the text you made is intergrated into the the main banner which costs filesize.
better would be if you make the text layer transparent and place it over the base background image "the banner"....

can you send it to me? maybe I can fix it

PS. Have you tried the GIF Optimization which is build in the Ulaed gif animator ? 8)

JASC Animation shop is good too. I use it to cut down on those piggy banners sponsors always seem to send me... Send it on over. I'l run it through the optimization wizrd too...

It's right there, just rightclick it and save to disk! :)

Ugh, I got it down to 100k with 7 colors. Looks like crap though...

That won't work...
