Hi guys! I was exporting gifs easily from .mov files I was saving from After Effects, when suddenly yesterday when trying to export the GIF file on Photoshop (I always did the same method) it looked very distorted (pic attached). I tried moving all parameters and nothing fixed the problem...

I thought maybe this .mov file was too big for Photoshop, but I checked that all the .mov files I exported previously as GIFs on Photoshop where about the same size...

Did something changed in Photoshop that this way of exporting GIFs is not possible anymore?

I tried the normal export pathway, as well as the "Export for web" way and nothing helped...

Cheers

Matte If you turn it off, the problem will be solved.

Do you have a glow effect applied to the white lines that make up the body? If so, turn off the visibility for the effect.

If there is a glow, but it has been rasterized, then you can make a layer mask from the transparency on the layer and edit the layer mask. Here's how:

Select the body layer
Go to Layer > Layer Mask > From Transparency
With the layer mask selected, go to the Channels panel (Window > Channels)
Turn on the visibility for the layer mask and turn off the visibility for the other channels
Go to Image > Adjustments > Levels and move the left most triangle below the histogram to the right until the glow disappears and click OK
Turn on the visibility for the other channels and turn off the visibility for the layer mask
Now go to File > Export > Save for Web (Legacy)

If it appears that the stroke is still wider than how it appears in the original, edit the layer mask a little more.
