Seeing some people in the notes of a gif-making post saying,
'it's getting them under the size limit I struggle with 😞'.
... Are you using every frame from a 60fps video when you're importing? I bet you are, aren't you. Don't do that! Do that and you're just padding your gif size for no reason.
I import every 4 frames by default, then set a frame delay of 0.07. Smooth as silk.
If you do end up struggling to fit the cool, really long animation you want in there, try deleting every other frame, then change the delay to 0.09, then 0.1 if it's too fast. It might still look smooth. Might. I've been succeeding with that on a few gifs, but you are pushing it at that point.
Smooth framerate in your gifs will make everything about them look better - but any more frames than every 4 from 60fps source video are superfluous.
Pray tell, are you also making your gifs too big for no reason? Tumblr's display size is 540px wide.
If you make your gifs that width exactly, they will display as crisp and clear as you made them. If you make them smaller than that, they'll be stretched and look blurred. If you make them bigger than 540px, that won't improve the quality - they'll be shrunk down to the display size, and will look just as blurry as if you'd made them only 500px. With the added detriment that the file size will be bigger, so you won't be able to fit as many frames in there. There's no benefit. They'll only look as good as you made them if you click on them, which people aren't going to do (unless they're a weirdo like me thinking 'hm does that look blurry? oh, that's why'). You're artificially making the limit more strict for yourself, while making your gifs look worse.
If it's not those problems, what the hell are you trying to make over there? I'm fitting entire animation loops under the limit, unless I try to be foolishly overambitious. And I still managed to sneakily cut down frames to get that Mass Effect Andromeda shuttle's whole landing and take-off in there.
The limit these days is 10MB. It used to be 500kb. When I personally was making gifs previously it was 1MB, then 2MB. We rejoiced when it went to 2MB. That's where the struggle was.
*Slaps 10MB limit* I can fit over 100 frames in this bad boy.
Speaking of crisp and clear, here's my Smart Sharpen settings while we're at it:
I never adjust it, It Just Works™ perfectly for every set, every game. Use that on every layer and it'll look good, I guarantee. Pretty, clear, not over-sharpened, thriving.

@18thcenturythirsttrap replied to your post “The eternal mysteries of "how the fuck do I put...”:
Triginta is the hero we all need right now.
We really do.
I was trying to math out the amount that Triginta skims from the rich for covering living expenses and it's like.... .001% feels like an amount that could be shrugged off as like a mere computer error, right? .001% of 40,000 is like 4 cents!
Then it's like wait, .001% of a billion is $10k....
There are around 2,640 billionaires in 2022. (not sure how many there are in this cyberpunk dystopia future)
Which means like if Triginta skims .001% off every billionaire, he has 26.4 million dollars.
And that is a low amount because many billionaires have multiple billions at their disposal (albeit some of it is tied up in corporations, property, and other things that are not in their personal petty cash fund).
