Compress Gif to under 40KB

[missplank]

Hello I need to compress my gif file to under 40KB.

It is a simple animation created in after effects.

The requirements need to be 15 seconds long, gif format and under 40kb.

I don't seem to be able to get it lower then 13MB!

I have tried everything to the point it is loosing all quality.

Help?

Thanks!

15 seconds is a really long duration for a 40KB Gif. how are you optimizing your GIF? what resolution? does it have a point where it freezes? (you could save frames this way)

If there are any static sections in your animation you can trim them to one frame then set the duration of that frame in Photoshop. I have not produced Gifs for a long time but I used to do ad banners all the time that had 10 frame transitions (plenty for a gif) between slides. The slides were static for 6 to 10 seconds so a looping banner with 6 slides could be made using only 66 frames and it could easily take more than a minute to playback. My AE comp would be only 66 frames long, the uncompressed movie would be loaded into Photoshop and the duration of the 6 static frames set, then the file saved for the web. There is no reason at all to have a single duplicate frame in an animated gif.
