That's unfortunate. Guess I'll stick to 50fps GIFs. Thanks for the clarification!

Hi! I'm having an issue with rendering 60fps gifs. It outputs the initial AVI file fine, but when it's converted into a GIF, the resulting GIF looks like it's going 2x slower than it should. I tried hardcoding the FPS values in the bat files, but that didn't seem to make a difference. My comp is set to 60fps, and GIFSquid in AE is set to 60fps. Any help would be appreciated!

I think upgrading FFMPEG in GIFsquid\bin has resolved the issue; I'm generating large gifs with Turbo set to false with no issues. Thanks a lot for the troubleshooting help!

Here's what I found (used another project/comp, but same issue): 

Successful (turbo):
cd\ cd "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 2017\Support Files\Scripts\ScriptUI Panels\GIFsquid\"
GIFsquidavi.bat 30 12000 "E:\Stephen\Documents\AfterEffectsProjects\WHATAMIGONNADO\Troi.avi" "E:\Stephen\Documents\AfterEffectsProjects\WHATAMIGONNADO\GIFsquid_Output" 0.5 800:-1 "" "Troi.avi" true
exit

Unsuccessful (non-turbo):
cd\ cd "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 2017\Support Files\Scripts\ScriptUI Panels\GIFsquid\"
GIFsquidavi.bat 30 12000 "E:\Stephen\Documents\AfterEffectsProjects\WHATAMIGONNADO\Troi.avi" "E:\Stephen\Documents\AfterEffectsProjects\WHATAMIGONNADO\GIFsquid_Output" 0.5 800x "" "Troi.avi" false
exit


Looking at the log file, now it's throwing new errors:

convert.exe: DelegateFailed `"ffmpeg.exe" -nostdin -v -1 -i "%i" -vframes %S -vcodec pam -an -f rawvideo -y "%u.pam"' @ error/delegate.c/InvokeDelegate/1919.

Thanks for the fast reply! My comp name (abc) and filename (MetaNonMeta.aep) only have letters though, same with the path (excluding backslash, space, and colon chars) . Here's a screenshot of my gifsquid\bin folder (though the only antivirus I have is Windows Defender):

Here's the GIFsquid.log:

convert.exe: UnableToCreateTemporaryFile `E:\Stephen\Documents\AfterEffects Projects\WHATAMIGONNADO\abc.avi': No such file or directory @ error/delegate.c/InvokeDelegate/1876.

It's strange that this only happens in non-Turbo mode; does Turbo mode handle paths differently maybe?

Having a weird issue where large gifs aren't generating unless I set it to Turbo mode. If I don't use Turbo mode, it acts as if it was successful, opens the folder, but there's no file. Any ideas?
