| I don't know of a solution, but I'm wondering if you're wanted to treat stills or images? Converting an image to 256 colours requires a more intelligent process than posterising, but if the palette is re-calculated each frame for video then you might not get the GIF look you're after. To get an authentic look with video I think you need to define a 256 colour palette and use the same one for each frame, so if there isn't an existing AE solution then you can try batch processing in photoshop.

Ya, the image sequence processing approach we were trying to avoid. If it was easily done plugin wise it'd be much more efficient for us.
Gif brewery may work for us, I'll look into that. Thanks Patrick.

"The most useless day is that in which we do not laugh" -Charles Field or.... use PS to process the QT clip or img sequence from AE to a GIF sequence and then back to whatever you need
S why not just use something like Gif Brewery to convert your footage into a Gif of any quality level. You can get Gif brewery in the Apple application store, for $4.99 i think. I just love it! gives you all the scaling, color, and frame rate options you could ever need. After you convert to authentic Gif dithering, just convert back to quicktime or image sequence.

Scaling it down in a precomp and scaling it up in the main comp should give you some chunkiness with draft mode. Then just use the posterization and color correction to tweak the color.
That would be how I'd start, at least.
