In this tutorial, I’m going to cover the best GIF optimization techniques in Photoshop to help make your Cinema 4D renders look super nice with the lowest file sizes possible so you can easily post them in GIF form anywhere on the interwebs! GIFs are all the rage these days and its important to learn how you can make them look as good as possible no matter what type of image you’re dealing with! Oh, and GIF is pronounced GUH-IF. Get outta here with your jifs! ;)
In this tutorial you’ll:
• Tackle 4 unique animation scenarios utilizing different optimization techniques for each one
• Learn all about color reduction algorithms, Diffusion options, and Web Snap
• Optimize each scene balancing low file size with best image quality
• Pronounce GIF the right way
If you have any questions, be sure to post it in the comments section and if you create any cool GIFs, I’d love to see them! Thanks for watching!
Hey E.J. Curious… what is your target Frame Rate when you are building your animations? Researching some GIF stuff that says 15 FPS is ideal target rate.. Was working on an animated GIF to hand over to a web project and we were running into playback speed issues when they Movie file was at a higher FPS
I typically render at 15FPS, i know some who go 14 or even 12. All about what aesthetic youre aiming for!
Thanks for the informative vid, Ej. From what I understand, everything default except 1) dither -> pattern dither 2) web snap to 40% and 3) maybe amount of colours to 128 will serve you well enough 95% of the time?
Great job Ej! Thanks for sharing (and the happy tips).
Cheers!
You bet! Thanks for watching, glad you learned something! :)
