Adobe Edit Animated Gif. Select GIF 128 Dithered from the Preset menu. If the gif has a white background in the image then it will come into illustrator with a white background.
Select Forever from the Looping Options menu. Edit and adjust the color font and appearance of your text and animate it so it appears with perfect timing. Save your GIF in a snap.
Then you export all those Artboards to Photoshop to stitch together as a GIF.
As Ive said gifs are pixel formats. To start editing the GIF file click on one of the buttons on the left. Add song lyrics an intro title or the meme captions directly into the file with the Essential Graphics panel. A good size to practice with is 300 by 300 pixels at 72 dpi.
