I had a clip of lips that i was trying to find use for and decided to make it a Gif.
Clip was 1080p @2926_2.97fps
Pulled it into after effects and created a sequence 720x720 @15fps. I added 4 layers and only 1 stroke animation.
My export was thru AME using the animated gif preset.
after export i am getting ghosting in the animation.
I have tried motion blur and frame blending but they stay in there. It is not seen in AE.
Notice the top of the frame.
I would render the movie using the Lossless preset in the Render Cue's Output Module, open the rendered movie in Photoshop and edit the layers and the timing using Photoshop. You have more options like setting the timing for individual frames; control over the dithering, and adding additional effects. I recently created an animated gif this way that lasted 40 seconds and only had about 100 frames. All of the 1-second transitions were running at 15 fps, but the stills, the banners were only one frame set to play for 10 seconds. This reduced the file size by more than 90% and you can't do that using the AME.
You also have to realize that gifs only have 256 colors and there is no frame blending. The sample you are showing is not very easy to watch but I think most of the problems you are having are related to retinal retention and the stroboscopic effects of motion at specific frame rates. I would be surprised if you could see the ghosting if you looked at each frame one at a time in Photoshop.
