You don't have transparency options with h.264 or most other formats.

When everything looks good and you like the timing export the Animated GIF - This is where you get to choose the kind of dithering, transparency, and other options.

Animated GIF's are the only format that I know of that let you set the duration of each frame

Examine the timeline, step through the transitions one frame at a time and when you get to a spot where you want to hold for a few seconds set the duration for that frame.

Open the lossless render in Photoshop and open the Motion workspace.

Do Not Use H.264 or any other interframe compression scheme if you want good color dithering because the color will be encoded in blocks of at least 4 pixels with each block having the same color value - that's how h.264 4.2.2 or 4.2.0 color works and there is nothing you can do about it

Send the comp to the Render Cue, NOT the Media Encoder and render the comp using the default LOSSLESS or LOSSLESS With Alpha preset (if you need transparency in the GIF) in the output module.

When your animation is complete and every section that is not moving is only one second long, set the work area to the last frame of the animation and trim comp to the work area.

You will set the duration of the single still frame later in Photoshop Set up the animations in the usual way except when you complete an animation - say something like a 1/2 second move in from the left for a new graphic, set the hero position keyframe, move forward 1 frame and then start the next transition.

Create an 8bit Project and a GIF sized comp, preferably with an even number of pixels in each row and column long enough to accommodate the animation and 12 or 15 fps is plenty for an animated gif.

Plan your animation and set times for all transitions and movement as well as the time for the parts of the animation that have no movement.

Debablizer would scan each frame of video for the most common 256 colors, creating a custom 8-bit or less color table that could be extracted in PS and loaded in AE or in GifBuilder.Here's the most efficient way to generate an animated gif in After Effects Something that seems to be lost to the history of computer graphics is creating a Super Palette in Debabliizer for GIFs generated from video.

GIFBuilder used to be the go to choice, but I think it was last published in 2001 (in other words, it won't run in any recent versions of OS X).Īs for AE on the Mac side, I've had very good results with GifGun by Extrabite.

If Animate CC isn't doing it either, then you'll have to export to a video format first via AME (H264 Match Source High Bit Rate or QuickTime Apple ProRes 422) and then convert the resulting MP4 or MOV to animated GIF in an application that converts video to GIF ( GIF Brewery 3 or Gifrocket - Create Gif from video, for Mac OS X could be good options, but I haven't tried them). I was a little sad to lose native export to Animated GIF in AE on the Mac side.
