I know how to make a regular gif since I use GIMP 2.6 to make them. These gifs always turn out fine and I always upload them to sites like Google Plus. However I can never make one for Tumblr though. Plus, even when I try to upload one it just freezes and becomes a regular image. I've read some Tumblr blogs about how they made GIFs using GIMP but the way they obtain their videos are usually different from mine (I just render a video using Sony Vegas.) or does that even matter when it comes to making a Tumblr gif? Anyway what I am trying to ask is how do I make GIF that meets the required settings for Tumblr using GIMP 2.6? In additon, what is the maximum file size for one?
The most common issue with uploading GIFs to tumblr is file size. They're very picky about it. If you're posting just one gif, the allotted file size is 1MB. If it's within a photoset, it can be larger (2MB I believe). There are really no special formats to GIFs or anything, just things that affect the quality/file size. Try a gif you know is well below the file size limit and go from there.
Thank you! I was finally capable making one for Tumblr. It turns out it was the size as well as the fact that I only made one multilayer image. However again thanks for your help :D.
