I don't know why, but suddenly whenever I try to save a gif that I make in photoshop, the quality of the gif decreases drastically from the frames I have. Weird dotted coloring distortion appears in my gifs when I convert to save them.

Here's what the frame looks like in photoshop before I save as GIF.

Here's what happens when I save it as a GIF.

Can someone please tell me why this happens, and how I can get rid of this problem?

Are you using save for web or export as? We need to see your settings to be able to help and know exactly how you are previewing this difference.

I am not sure from your question, so I will ask. Are you fully aware that GIF is limited to only 256 colours, and this means that original video material may have a dramatic reduction in quality?
