GIF(t) Challenge Part 1 (Christmas)

[Adrian Bellworthy]

Well it accepted a file size of 4.6MB

Forum Post

And Gallery Post

There is a considerable difference.

I would rather see a better image in the gallery than in the forum.

I would rather see a better image in the gallery than in the forum.

Yes, me too!

Is there anything we can do about that @adrian2301  ? 

Mine is totally unacceptable. The crazy thing is, that when I looked at it when it was still a Draft, the Gif looked perfectly fine…but when I published it, it ‘went rogue’…

[spikeyxxx]

Something is really wrong:

I compressed the Gif so that it is just under 2 MB, but in the Gallery it says it has almost 9…

[Adrian Bellworthy]

I will @wesburke in, maybe he can shed some light on this,

and give us some insight on any improvements when migrated to Mavenseed.

[Adrian Bellworthy]

This does seem a bit odd.

4.58MB becomes 8.13MB

[Kevin Mather]

Strange. My Gallery image looks fine. If I right-click and download it from the Gallery web page to my desktop, it is 8.6 MB. I’m pretty sure what I uploaded was about 6 MB (and surprisingly it was accepted). I guess some resizing is going on behind the curtain…

Nice diversity of projects!

[jammingammon]

Nice job everyone! Lotsa great entries here.

[Adrian Bellworthy]

Sorry for the delay with the top 4 picks.

Apparently some of the CG Cookie crew actually have time off over the Christmas holidays.

How cool is that?

[Adrian Bellworthy]

Christmas is a time for patience.

Patience to wait until Christmas morning to open all your GIFts under the Christmas tree.

The wait is over for the judges favourite 4 GIFs of part 1 of the GIF challenge.

In no particular order,

@spikeyxxx    —  Christmas 2021 

@otowa   —  Merry Go Round 

@drakewho   —  The Griswold’s Advent House Calendar

@waiwai1287   —  Christmas Polar Bear

Congrats to the top 4, 

and well done to all entries, 

the judges expressed how good all the GIFs are, and how difficult it was to choose their favourite 4.

Happy Blending

[Thibault Caradec]

Yaaaaay! I won something! 

Congratulation to all participants! It’s very nice to see so many different ideas and executions!

Makes me want to enter more future contests!

[Pavla Karon]

Congrats to the winners! The GIFs turned out so cool. I am sharing them via CG Cookie’s Twitter and Instagram this week, reminder to everyone to add their social media handles to their profile if you’d like to be tagged. Happy New Year!

[Sébastien Lenaerts]

Congrats to you guys, all very well deserved !

[Sébastien Lenaerts]

I agree 🙂  I want more contests as well!
