So I've been working hard over the last 2 days on how to make the Animations work well with the spell effects I created in post-production.
.GIF Files are an 8-bit indexed image with a max palette of 256 Colours, due to this the spells that were translucent, where becoming solid - whereas an Animated .PNG file is a 32-bit RGB Image and can have a multitude more colours making transparency in the spells possible. I still have more to clean up on it as it was my first time making a full animation, but this is a promising bit of progress and you can expect to see far more cool effects on animations soon!
For example check out my signature which I have edited today and you will see how much better it looks
