Highquality GIF creation, quality standard, what's good what's bad?Posted on: 04/02/14 04:44AM
Hi Gelbooru
Let's talk about gifs. I got a little GIF creating frenzy yesterday (was bad idea because of 1st April and the open moderator mayhem) But i wanted to ask what's your most effective method in creating a good HQ gif and what the quality standards are?
I came across this tutorial:
imgur.com/gallery/r5qmc I am using this method personally with a few customizations so it let's me create acceptable gifs like this:

Filesize: Personally i try to aim for the maximum filesize allowed so i have room to work with, downside is that you can't embed it properly and people with slow internet might have troubles loading fast enough. Small filesize is more versatile imo, you can embed a few under a Hentai blog post for instance, but they not so pleasing for the eyes. So what is prefereable?
I am really motivated to contribute some nice gifs from various Hentai, so if you have time, share your knowledge how to create amazing GIFs and what you preference for filesize, quality, resolution, workflow, etc. is.
Thanks in advance for replys!
