Questions

How do I make the GIF smaller?

Use a shorter clip, fewer frames per second or a smaller width. Turning off dithering helps too, though gradients may look banded.

Why do the colours look different?

GIFs can only use 256 colours, so a palette is made from your clip. Dithering mixes colours to fake the ones in between.

Is there a length limit?

Up to 300 frames, so 30 seconds at 10 frames a second. Larger sizes allow fewer frames.
