I just got After Effects CS4 today and managed to create a basic text animation. I've been trying to save it as a GIF, but I can't quite figure out how. I tried the export options, which were Adobe Clip Notes, Flash Player, Flash Professional, and Premiere Pro Project. I'm completely lost; could someone explain how to save it as a gif file?
Thank you so much!
No.
We relied on QuickTime for Animated GIF export, and Apple has yet to provide a 64-bit QuickTime system for us to use to provide many such features. When we moved to 64-bit, we lost a few of these minor QuickTime features.
But the After Effects export to Animated GIF was never any good compared to the very good Animated GIF export from Photoshop. Even when we had the feature in After Effects, we recommended that people use Photoshop for this instead.

Isn't Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5 64 bit? Since there's an option for animated GIF creation in that, so can't 64 bit After Effects call the GIF creation function that is in Adobe Media Encoder, perhaps with extra options too?
