# it is very woo
simple ways to optimise are just decreasing the dimensions, that works quite well

know the name of something on anything BB related means that your opinion is irrelevant.

depends what program you're using

# two ticks, there is a special button:


worth checking this out, and then playing with colours, lossy etc until it looks right.
It's helped me a lot in the animated gifs I do (thankfully, all too few)

also, if it still doesn't look right, do a google search for 'scanlines' or tv scanlines'
reasonably easy to do on imageready and can drastically reduce the file size

You can always make a mini version to post in the thread and post a link to the full size, with a mention of how big the full size is.

# ha, nicely done
but with that many frames it's going to be really hard to get down to 250K! you using imageready? best bet is to drop the number of colours, up the lossiness, reduce the dimensions and maybe add some scanlines...

# fewer colours
and no dithering

often help

# that's very nice
and you did the right thing by linking and asking.
the main thing is, you've got a lot going on (62 frames), so there's no quick solution.
here's a version i got under budget if you want:
click
i've halved the dimensions (but you can resize it back to 280 in your img tag), reduced the colours and made it a bit lossy.
it looks a bit rubbish compared the original, but you'd obviously still want to link to the original anyway
edit: never mind. you've done it yourself

that scanlines thing might be a better solution. i've never tried it

# fantastic animation!
good job on smallifying it too

# Hehe! It doesn't lose much by being reduced!
With gifs though it's worth messing about with the timing of frames.
