Hey there, I tried to use GifSquid 0.6 because I wanted to makea transparent gif, basicly it's working, the png sequence is transparent despite my text. But when GifSquid is squishing the gif, the text is overlapping itself.

My GIf

I hope there is some solution for this ^^

ivI'vee only seen that when the crappiness is set too high. What was it set to here?

Hey. I am using Gif Squid 0.6 (the one that creates a png seqeunce), I don't seem to find a crappiness setting as in GifSquid 0.8. Only the fuzz option, but the output does not change wether or not I have a higher or lower fuzz input, the text is still overlapping.

Hello, I apologize, I didn't see your reply until now. I'm working on a solution that you may be able to implement, but please understand that I am not able to provide much support for older versions. One of the reasons newer versions of GifSquid don't support transparency is because it was so problematic to deal with. That said, i'll try to work out something for this particular case.

I was able to fix it in my test scenario. Here is how you can fix it on your side.

Please make a backup of the GIFsquid.bat file found in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 2015.3\Support Files\Scripts\ScriptUI Panels\GIFsquid".
Right click the GIFsquid.bat file and select 'edit'
Press Ctrl-A to select all the contents, then Delete to clear out the file
Copy all the text from https://pastebin.com/raw/Ubc8bdxF into the now-empty file
Save the new GIFsquid.bat file
Try squirting another GIF!
