Hello I'm new to After Effects, and today I tried to export a really simple animation I made into gif. Yet, every time exported to gif, each of frames seems to leave a parts of itself to the next frames.

As you can see here. The sequence of the shapes on the right side is not supposed to be there. Any suggestions for this?

Create the GIF through Photoshop or any other tool. These drawing artifacts occur due to issues with adapting the color tables. Export an image sequence, import it into PS, convert the timeline there to frames mode, export the optimized GIF. Much better results.

That question is impossible without workflow details or seeing the modified properties of all your layers. 99% chance that it is just caused by user error.
