I've been exporting gifs using AME for these icons that I have been making, and up until the last one they were coming out with no issues. Now all of the sudden, every time I try to export a gif, it comes out with this crazy dithering on it. I've attached my "Phase3.gif" which came out with no problems, and then my "Phase4.gif" which I exported immediately after but came out all jacked up.
Have tried exporting with a number of settings now and even tried exporting as an MP4, bringing the MP4 into After Effects, and then exporting into a gif, but on every single one I get this wierd dithering. Any ideas? I'm really helpless to figure this out at this point.

GIFs have a limited number of colours and I've seen this "compression artifact" a lot. I think it depends on the software as some produce it worse than others. A while back I took a look at all the different options for making GIFs from After Effects.

Giphy is the one I still use the most. Export to MP4, upload it, then save the end result.

I don't think it has anything to do with the color limitations, as you can see in the two files I've attached the other gif that I made that had no artifact had all of the same colors, and the art itself only has 4 colors in it. Shouldn't have any issues rendering color you wouldn't think.

You may be right, but it's the only explanation I can come up with. It's almost like the particular compression approach fails to identify a suitable shade and defaults to a white value for that frame.

Are you using the same export settings? Do you mind sharing a screenshot of the export settings of both projects?
Thanks,
