    I might have a bit more easy approach when using cinema or after effects for gifs.
    Export a quicktime from C4D or AE with alpha and animation codec (remember to set depth in format options to "millions of colors+" and selecting the Alpha Channel in the save tab of the render settings).
    In the photoshop top menu select file>import>video frames to layers.
    goto step 10 in Albums checklist above.
    That should do the trick as well.

    • what self respecting person exports video from c4d though? you lose the entire video in the case of a crash.albums
    • Sounds like you have a buggy workflow if it keeps crashing on you. Cant remember having had that problem.islandbridge
    • i've never had it happen either but image sequences are more reliable and higher quality.albums
    • image sequences are actually recommended for their lack of compression problems and...albums
    • useful when creating multiple movie types. I'd rather render a sequence then create different videos from that...albums
    • than export video after videoalbums

    • do love how you implied my system had a fault though I never stated that it did. ;)albums
    • Anyone who knows their way around 3D knows never use video. Always image sequenceanimatedgif
