Hi folks! I am fairly new here. I've figured out how to make my own gifs in photoshop.
However, ever since I started filming in 1080p, my gifs are enormous ... like a short gif will be 10MB, and they take a while to load on clips4sale. I think it's impacting my sales.
I've been filming "device native" with my logitech c920, then exporting in 1080p and editing that way and exporting as a 1080p HD and 480p SD mp4. Then I take the SD edited mp4 and edit it to make a shorter mp4 for making a gif, which ends up around 3-4MB, and import it to photoshop as layers. Then the resulting gif in photoshop is usually ~10MB. (I'm using about 380-400 pixels as the longest dimension of the gif.)
I tried only using every other frame for the gif, and the animation looked choppy, so I don't want to do that. I also tried making the gif 64 colors and the color looked flat.
How do other people get these beautiful, long, colorful gifs that are only 3MB or so?
