Ok, my mistake. What gif application you using?
Seems it needs an optimizer of sorts.

Plus, the size is part of the problem, should resize it smaller.
The Gif's format is not designed for large animations.

I wouldnt worry about 'quality' too much, the quality is not coming through on the final gif, and may help smooth your capture down if turned down.
Smooth is usually better in animation than 'sharp/clear'.

I'm trying the trial of Camtasia. And thanks for the tip, I'm going to try that now.

Just select the area you want to record, cut out bits and upload. Thanks though

Camtasia is good for video capture, but its gif creation abilities will leave a bit to be desired, this would be an alternate output for it, and not what it was really designed for. I would save the video capped by Camtasia (in avi format) and then use another application to edit the avi, clean up/crop what you want and then save as GIF (hoping such a utility would have an optimizer). An optimizer will take out duplicated data. For example each frame of your animation may have the sky, the moon, the mountain behind, etc. But these items dont change, why have them in each frame? An optimizer would remove parts of frame that were redundant smoothing out the animation, and making the final file smaller.
