SaveAnim with gif and colors

[Juan Carlos]

The instruction SaveAnim(id, file$[, format, table]) for example: SaveAnim(1, "my_anim.gif", #ANMFMT_GIF, {Colors = 64, Dither = True})
Well when I tryed to use this instruction to convert and save one gif animation with 64 colors or 128, the instruction always save with 256 colors.

Hollywood-saved GIFs will always reserve 256 colors but in reality they'll only use as many colors as you specifiy in the "Colors" tag. Try to set the "Colors" tag to 2... then you will see that your GIF will still have a palette of 256 colors but only 2 will actually be used by the image data.
