Q: I created a small animation for my web site and rendered it out to targa's, imported into Gif CS and set everything up. When I viewed it, the background was all pixelated. It's a white background, to blend with my site. Please help


A: The best way is to create single GIFs for Animated GIF, not Targas.

Do the following:

1. Turn both Dither-256 and Dither-Truecolor OFF
2. Create a Flic from the animation with Medium Palette
3. Select the Flic for CUSTOM PALETTE and save to single GIFs.
4. In Gif Construction Set, load all GIFs, and select the Palette of the first as the Global Palette when prompted.
