Here are a couple test animated gifs I tried. Unfortunately animated gifs get very large very quickly if you try to do real animations with them (thus they are usually very small, in terms of pixel-dimensions). There are also huge tradeoffs in terms of file size vs. quality, especially as all gifs have a maximum of 256 colors per frame. Also, it looks like the "maximum filesize" we can upload here is nowhere near accurate. When I check the allowed files sizes and types I see "59.09mb" for jpegs, gifs, etc. However, I've never been able to upload any single pic larger than about 1mb. No error message, it just doesn't work (problem definitely not on my end). Overall, animated gifs are just not a very good solution unfortunately. I can easily produce .m4v files, for example, which look better and are of a much smaller data-size.
But, I thought that maybe using animated gifs as a "slideshow" for caps where you wish you could have used more than one picture might be interesting. Here are a couple I tried. Well, really just one, done in a color version and a greyscale versions. To see how they work out. For those interested, these were easily created with Keynote (export to Quicktime) and GIFBrewery (convert Quicktime to animated gif):
Edit: Playing with files sizes etc. Nothing new to see really.
