I usually use a video file and compress it with http://ezgif.com (20 frames, 600px and a bit of compression).

I tried that one out, too, but it didn't work with the games I tried it with. I think there might just be too much going on in somewhat realistic graphics?

Good point! That does make a BIG difference, just what the graphics style and colour palate of the game is. Think if it's still too big I usually try to make it shorter (tricky I know) or see if less FPS do the job (depends a lot on the game again).

Yes, definitely! I switched a lot between different framerates. I'm just glad Fade to Silence has a rather subtle colour palette, if it was too colourful to cut those out AND realistic I'd probably cry.

haha yeah! It's the worst when you got a REALLY good gif ready and then it's suddenly 8 million mb big.
