I am making some GIF animations and a problem as you may already know is that GIFS dont get a long well with transparency to a certain extent.  What I am having to do is in post clean up the edges of my graphic making them 0 or 255 bit transparency with no inner range otherwise I get a halo around my image.  I was wondering if there was a way to set it up so that my edges do not feather?

Thanks!

I think what you are looking for is the “Straight Alpha” option in the render settings.
This will “extend” the object edges a bit to allow you to get a clean edge.

...Just to chime in about using GIFs, they are indeed a limited format, but I’ve actually had one case where they were exactly what I needed. I had a HUGE terrain geometry that needed a texture that would have been WAY too large of a file size for the pixel dimension that I needed, which limited me to using JPEG, GIF, or PNG. When I tried using a JPEG or PNG, because of the compression, I could see artifacts when the camera got too close, whereas GIF was perfect because it uses color limiting to compress the image rather than visible compression. Perfect for a map that only used 6 colors!
