if you overlay the non moving parts of the first frame on all of themthen your file can be a lot smaller and not slow the page down so much

Plus I halved the number of frames, same joke, politer filesize - you don't have to use all 400k

That is very helpfulI'd like to have a go at animations, I think my photoshop does it.

Hey hey toastyCan you explain how to overlay the non moving parts of the first frame on all of them in Photoshop? I thought I knew how to optimize but this has me baffled.

sorry no, don't use Photoshopmost free animated gif tools from the 90s will do it in an instant though
I use a copy of Animation Shop I bought a long time ago, it has a propogate paste option that applies whatever you're holding to every frame wherever you place it.
How does Potatoshop handle gifs, just as layers? if so duplicate the first layer, erase the moving parts then duplicate and collapse down on to every frame.

AhI assumed you were talking about PS, I thought there was an option I'd missed.
Yes, the way I use it, it handles them as layers. Erasing all non-moving parts on a layer-by-layer basis would be a lot of work in most cases I reckon.
Ok, I just re-read your edit... yeah, you could overlay the non-moving parts which are common to all layers, but since they're common to all layers, they won't move anyway, so I don't think that's going to change the finished file-size. Not sure though.... I'll look into this.

if it's not moving then it should auto ignore - if not, potatoshop is a twatbut herman's is full of noise where it needn't be, so I'm saying paste a copy of the first frame where you don't need motion to sort it.

Yeah, it does auto-ignore, at least that's the default option.The noise I'm seeing in Herman's post may be due to diffusion? I tend not to use it, since it often really inflates the filesize.

diffusion shouldn't be a problem if the layers are identicalI'm guessing he's using After Effects which was always an utter cockbucket when it came to such things, it's not exactly aimed for the animated gif market though so I suppose it's excused.
