The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I made an animated gif in Photoshop CS3, all went well:
It's been giving me no problems.
When I uploaded it, however, to a website, it turned into this:
My questions:
1) Was this caused by some setting that I need to tweak in creating the gif?
2) What is this effect called? I've seen other gifs around the internet with the same problem. I'd like to research it, but I can't even figure out what to google.
It looks like the website you uploaded it to tried to do some shitty compression to it or something (whatever they did to it actually increased the filesize, but it looks like they mangled each frame down to a lower-res version). The general technical term for this sort of stuff is artifacting.
It should be obvious by the fact that it works fine off of your dropbox that the problem lies not in the GIF, but it wherever you tried to put it.
Marty: The future, it's where you're going? Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.
