How to Take High Quality GIF Animation In After Effects? Could You Tell Me If You Know

Some People Posting (In Behance) High Quality GIF Motion Graphics. How They Did?

No such thing as a high quality animated gif if high quality means more than 256 colors and anti aliasing.
If you want to create a better looking animated gif in After Effects then you render a lossless movie from your composition and then use Photoshop or another app to turn the movie into an animated gif.
If you want to import an animated gif into AE then what you see is all there is. Gif's cannot contain more than 256 colors and anti aliasing is terrible to non existent.

How to export best quality gif animations in flash

how to export best quality gif animations in flash

GIF is a color restricted format with on/off support for transparency. There's really no settings you can tweak to output a better GIF. You have a drop-down during GIF sequence export to allow transparency, select the amount of colors (up to 256) and you can choose dither to save a little filespace. The only 2 things in there that really matter are dither and amount of colors used to export.
If your content is very similar (e.g. not a lot of complex gradients/shadows/etc) and is limited in color use turning down the amount of colors used and dithering is your only option.
Make sure you're exporting the GIF via "Publish Settings" so you get a single animated GIF and not file->export->movie because this creates a separate sequence of GIF images for each frame.

Higher quality GIF

is there anyway to get a high quality GIF? I mean I have a rollover button that it simply a rounded rectangle. However, whenever I bring them into iWeb the edges are very pixelated. Is there any way to avoid this? I don't have a quality slider when saving as GIF's so how do I improve the quality?

How big is the gif in pixels? Are you resizing it once it's in iWeb? Make the gif larger so it will will have to be reduced in size in iWeb. That will prevent any pixelation.

How to use Cinema4D lite with no opening After Effects CC ?

How to use Cinema4D lite with no opening After Effects CC ?
Is that possible ?
Open a 3D object Photoshop-type in After Effects CC (without C4D)
It is also possible?
thanks

It is as Mylenium says.
See this page for details such as this:
"You open the version of CINEMA 4D that is installed with After Effects using the New > MAXON CINEMA 4D File command or the Edit Original command in After Effects. You will not see this version of CINEMA 4D installed in the Start menu on Windows or in the Applications directory on Mac OS."

Animating in After Effects with video footage

When animating in After Effects, instead of using a solid background, can I use a video as the background and have it playing while the character is moving? I can't see why it wouldn't work. I've saw people question about animating in Flash ect and bringing it in, but I need to animate within AF. Hope someone can help me out!

Hi Claudia.
Are you using "AF" to stand for "Adobe Flash" Or "AFter effects"?
If you are trying to composite character animation over a background in After Effects, yes, it is a fantastic application for it.
You can create many types of backdrops easily (and very easy to modify elements back/forth from Photoshop)
As for character animation, there are multiple standard tools within After Effects. There are also third party plugins that may help you.
One plugin that I like to use for character animation is DUIK. DuDuF R&D » Duik – DuDuF IK Tools
(free)
Another plugin that is excellent is Mettle Freeform http://www.mettle.com/tutorials-digieffects-freeform-freeform-v2/

Exporting a cinema 4d animation in after effects

Hi ,
I just want to find out if the following method to export a video animation in after effects that also includes a cinema 4d animation is correct because it doesn't seem to be working.
I basically hit export in after effects >> add to adobe media encoder >> it opens i then select my format and it doesn't seem to work no errors just stops.
Am i going about this incorrectly?
The animation is a basic spin of a character.. Nothing hectic
Thanks

There is a bug that causes a problem with exporting a composition that uses a .c4d scene object through Adobe Media Encoder. We intend to release a fix for this bug very soon (probably next week). In the meantime, you should export a losslessly encoded master movie file from After Effects and use Adobe Media Encoder to transcode that file to your final delivery format.

How to Export High Quality Adobe Flash Professional CS6

Okay, here's the situation. I've created a series of separate files of animations using .PNG images, and JPGs. Each animation is less than 1 minute long - and are separate files.
I have tried exporting various ones, and have had absolutely no luck in getting anything resembling high quality. I mean the first animations made by humans were better quality than this.
It's utterly ridiculous how bad this program works.
Anyways...
I've tried altering the frame rate, dimensions of the document, different export files, different players to view, I've gone into the settings and made sure the highest quality option is selected, etc. I've combed the internet for weeks and have read EVERYTHING on the subject (not much!!). I've also watched every relevant youtube video and nothing has worked!
I am losing my mind over this.
I even tried opening the files in Premiere and exporting them and they look even worse! What the hell is going on??
The whole reason I began using Flash is because research led me to believe it was made for this purpose but it clearly can't do...anything.
Is there any solution? Or should I just look into a different program?

What Image Export Preset settings are you using? (See and edit these via "Aperture→Presets→Image Export".)
16-bit TIFF is the highest quality Image Format. If you are using JPEG, set the Image Quality slider all the way to the right ("12"). Make sure size is set to "Original Size". "DPI" has no bearing on image quality -- it is just a setting that some apps use to determine how big to display the image on the screen.

How to Capture High Quality Picture in Flex using webcam

Hi All,
We need to use the built-in webcam to caputre the high quality still image. However, seems the webcam is set to video capture mode by default. The built-in cam is 1.3 mega pixel or 2.0 mega pixel, however, the resolution of still image caputured is quite low, around 0.3 mega only.
Anyone knows how to utilize the web cam to capature the high quality image in Flex?
Thanks a lot!

It is hard to believe that I've figured the whole thing out and accomplished my goal - while it being my first dip in flex & actionscript.

How to make High Quality HD DVDs from iMovie11 Toast 10 Titanium Pro?

I was searching all over the net to find answers to a problem that I have with film making at home. I'm trying to become an Indie film maker on a small amount of money to start out, so to speak. I've asked Apple over and over for some help, but they say - we can't because we don't support third party solutions. I have iMovie 11 and iMovie HD 6. I use AVCHD 1080i camcorders and a GoPro HD Hero for time lapse shots. Toast 10 Titanium Pro and a external LaCie d2 Blu-ray Drive also external hard drives. I'm trying to make high quality HD dvd's and then Blu-ray disks later also for my ( high elevation mountain video) demos. Codec/compression - bit rate/data rate - key frame - sample rate and what software to use or not is all confusing me. I've tried and I'm still not making video that looks as good as it did when first imported into iMovie. Can anyone please help me out with this mater. Thank You Good Day

Good FAQ type information [is at this link|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2424451]
In general, import to iMovie in FULL, not LARGE.
Export from iMovie using the SHARE menu. Use the 1080P Preset. You can SHARE/iTUNES, SHARE/MEDIA BROWSER, SHARE/MOVIE..., or FILE/FINALIZE PROJECT. All will use the 1080P preset.
You can also SHARE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME, but I would not recommend it unless you know what you are doing.
Drag this file into TOAST 10 with BluRay plugin.
Check FILE/PROJECT PROPERTIES in TOAST to make sure you are burning at highest quality.

The menu describe form in the other one, I think is not issue point and maybe operate mistake.

How to generate high quality PDFs?

Hello everyone,
Before I am told to use Google or search this forum for answers to my question, let me say that I have already done that. Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution.
My problem: Microsoft Word produces low quality PDFs rendering my work useless. The PDF fonts look nothing like those in Word, nor does the spacing. The same problem appears when I try to archive a word file, which is shown perfectly in the Preview box, as a PDF file. This makes me think that the PDF generator engine in OS X has a problem.(?)
The only solution I have found: InDesign - the abundance of quality choices allows for a high quality PDF generation.
Now, is there really no other way to generate high quality PDFs from Microsoft Word or the Preview? Do I have to recreate all my files in InDesign to ensure a high quality PDF output?
I thank you for your time and answers beforehand!

CarmeloX,
you can use Photoshop 7 and PageMaker 7 (with two updates). Really no problem
in Windows XP. Probably a problem in newer operating systems.
Photoshop 7 is equipped with a very reasonable Color Management System.
For PageMaker you'll need a Postscript driver and Distiller. Please ask here:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/pagemaker_general
This combination works perfectly, unless you want to handle so called live transparency.
Standard on/off transparency (PostScript) is fully supported.
Then it's possible to create perfect PDFs for inkjets, wide format inkjets, toner printers
and offset printing (PDF/X-1a for instance).
Almost all docs here were made with Photoshop CS2 (or older versions), PageMaker 7,
MathType and the PostScript editor PSAlter for technical illustrations:
http://docs-hoffmann.de/howww41a.html
Only recently I had converted everything into InDesign CS2 and newly converted to PDF.
I've installed as well CS6 (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator), but mostly I'm using CS2.
By the way - here you are not directly talking to Adobe ...
Good luck and best regards --Gernot Hoffmann
