Weird noise on GIF renders

When i was making a GIF in after effects and rendered it in Media Encoder the colors got a weird noise effect over them and nothing seemed to fix it. I tried changing colors to 256 color space but that didn’t help aswell. My render settings for media encoder where 1000x1000 for resolution and 25fps render output.

 

I fixed it by rendering the GIF as a MP4 in media encoder and dragging into photoshop and rendering it there as “Save for web (Lagacy)” and not changing a single setting it rendered it perfectly fine with the colors outside the 256 color space.

 

Why does this happen? it seems a bit unnecessary to use 2 programs to render 1 gif?

Correct answer Mylenium

AE is the wrong tool to create GIFs in the first place. It's inherent in how AE rendering works. It simply has no way of accumulating a global palette and aoptimizing it like PS does. It may be annoying, but using both programs (or for that matter other external GIF converters) is the best way to handle this. Really not much else to say about the matter.
