I am trying to make a welcome sign that blinks, which goes successful until I save it, and then the quality just goes terrible. It didn't used to do this. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Hi, I have animation shop but when you save your animation what type of file do you save it as? You need to save it as a .gif but if you had or have a trial version of animation shop and your trial is now out then the images mess up. Currently though my animation has messed up and I don't know what's up with it either. I guess it depends on what's it doing to your images. To mine it's making little specks I guess they are having a problem or something and will probally soon have a new update that fixes that. But again if you have trial it's going to do that when your trial has ended it will make little specks and mess the colors up. :)

I don't know what it is, it's very strange, its not the trial version though I bought it! And i'm saving it .gif too!

are you compressing it too much maybe while it's being saved?

Erm I have no idea, I just press save as.

doesn't a menu come up and you have to keep clicking next a few times before it actually saves?

A menu used to come up, but now it has gone :(
