Problems Making GIFs in Photoshop [Solved]

Until recently, I've been pretty decent at cutting my own videos with YouTube Downloader and making GIFs out of them, but then out of nowhere, I started running into a quality issue. Now, I'm not sure whether it's just this particular video that I cut because I haven't found the patience to try anything else at the moment, but it's driving me up a wall. I've tried several times now, but I keep getting the same results.

I don't know all the technical lingo, but I do believe the problem I'm having is called banding. In other words, every GIF I save under any setting (I keep referring to Google with my problems) comes out with wavy lines of color that weren't there before. I'm aware there's a speed problem with this particular GIF.

I'm not worried about that because I can fix it myself, but this quality issue is really starting to annoy me. What am I doing wrong?

Video To GIF Converter

This is a step by step tutorial of how to make gifs from videos (.avi / .mov / .wma files) without having to cut to the video into frames and then animate them. The program I use allows you to mark the section of the video you want and then converts that section direction from a video file to a gif.

This is particularly useful if you're like me and lack the patience to string together image files to make a gif and are horrible with photoshop (or equivalent programs). Basically how to turn THIS into THIS without GifSoup or Photoshop in just a few easy steps.

GIF MAKING 101.

Like most of you, I was an avid abuser of GifSoup for my gif-making needs. There's really nothing wrong with it, either! It makes lovely gifs that work in a hurry, and it's all very convenient when you want that perfect expression that nobody else has gif'd yet on, say, tumblr or something like that. But, being the idiot I am, I decided that I was going to learn once and for all how to properly make gifs. Ones without silly watermarks or pixellated faces. And what I found out was it wasn't that hard at all!
