Frequently Asked Questions

How do I install GifGun 2?
How do I 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 WEBP/WEBM and GIF.
Is GifGun 2 available outside After Effects?
Yes! GifGun 2 works as an After Effects plugin, a standalone desktop app, and a browser-based web app. All three are included with your GifGun 2 license.
