Its been awhile since I have used my animation program..  (JASC Animation Shop) 
When I save my animation it is distorting the image, basically adding noise, as if there were too many colors, but there are less than 16 colors .. I know how to fix this in PSP but not animation..

i used better image quality and

Custom settings selected
Optimizing for Animated GIF file
Optimized output will update the current animation
Write minimal frames
Use transparency for better compression
Collapse identical frames

Optimized image will contain 31 colors
No local palettes will be used
Generate palette by median cut
Map colors to palette via error diffusion.
Convert pixels less than 1 (0.4%) opacity to fully transparent
Blend partially transparent pixels with color RGB(10, 2, 2)

All non-visible elements retained.


any ideas?

You should increase the number of colours to be equal to or higher then the current number of colours, and you should use 'nearest colour' instead of error diffusion. You should also use optimized octree instead of median cut (or use your custom palette)

Maaannn! So THAT"S what your supposed to do. I've been using this package for my animations and usually end up spending the next half an hour trying to get it to save properly. But I'm still having trouble trying to save animations that play faster than 10 frames per second. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm really getting tired of this 10 frames per second thing....

Are you by any chance playing your saved animations in Internet Explorer or Windows' image viewer? Because those often have trouble with animations with high framerates. Most other browsers and image viewers should support them just fine.

Blueberry Pie: I am indeed playing my animations in IE and windows image viewer. Thanks for that info and I will have a look at other image viewers to download.

Metaru: Thank you so much for that superb information!

I wonder if this is worth making as a sticky...

Nopes. BTW, use ASP3's real time preview.
