Export to animated gif differences between older versions and 2018

[bradleym13216859]

Have been using Animate 2015.2 to export animated gifs. Go to Export:Movie: Anim Gif and it exports a nice small ~60K file (original flash file has ~180 frames).

Go to export: Animated GIF from version 2018 and the resulting gif file is over 10 times that size, with close to twice the number of frames. Since I need my gifs to be less than 100K this is a problem. Is there a way to change the export settings in 2018, or use some other method, to keep the file size down? I realize that I may end up opening my files in 2015 and exporting them that way, but seems like a step backwards...thanks!

I am checking with the team. Will get back as soon as I have response.

I checked with the team, and they think your situation is pretty unusual. Would it be possible to share your file with you for investigation? To send us the file, upload it to a shared location such as Dropbox or Creative cloud, and send the link over a private message. To send a private message, click my picture and use the Message button.

Thanks,

Hi,

The increase in file size is due to the increase in output quality with the new Animated GIF workflow. The new workflow comes with a host of options for you to tweak to get a desired size/quality output. One easy settings that may work for you is Optimize to File Size settings

   

Thanks!
