Purchase GifGun
Help
How to install GifGun 2?
That's super simple! Just use the aescripts + aeplugins manager app.
How to render with the alpha channel?
We removed the "Keep Alpha" option, so just select any preset that contains Alpha. The built-in "High Quality with Alpha" preset works great for both GIF and WEBM. Remember that MP4 has no alpha channel options.
How do I upgrade from GifGun 1?
If you purchased GifGun 1 after March 1, 2023, you can upgrade for $10 which is the price difference as GifGun 2 is $10 more expensive than GifGun 1. If you purchased GifGun 1 before March 1, 2023 you can upgrade for $20. (Floating licenses additional). Simply login to the same account and the upgrade pricing will be automatically displayed on the product page. If you need any assistance please open a support ticket.
How do I share the log files?
- Click on the burger menu (on the right of the GifGun 2 panel name)
