Hmmm ... I thought a-GIF playback was a function of machine video speed (?? to some extent). Every frame is displayed in an a-GIF ... as opposed to an AVI where frames are skipped to keep sound and video in sync if the playback is slow. Another drawback to a-GIFs is that they are in only 256 colors. This is not a problem if your intent is posting the a-GIF on the web as a quick preview for others. Image quality can suffer if you use substantially more colors than that (ie lots of gradient changes).
Lecblue's site and Paul H's site have some useful info on media choices, if you haven't seen them. Personally, I've had better results with AVIs then with GIFs. This is partly due to a known problem that Internet Explorer has with playing back GIFs (they slow down). I've had better results with Smacker than with AVIs, but you need a special player to view Smacker videos. The same company that makes Smacker has a newer product called Bink. I haven't tried Bink, but unlike Smacker, it's not limited to 256 colors.

I've been spending time developing my skills with poser's animation cability. I have chosen to do all my work by generating tif files for import into Paint Shop Pro 5 which has a great gif animator included. I use this instead of AVI because it seems to have so much more control over quality. GIF also allows the ability to define varying times for each frame which helps with certain effects. The GIF format supports good compression. Am I missing something by using GIF? Does it depend on the length and use of the animation? eg use on the web... tmech
