Creo simulate *.gif export

Question

Hello,I'm trying to export *.gif files from a modal analysis, but the quality is extremely poor. The only available formats are *.avi and *.mpg — which is fine, I can convert them afterward — but the video quality is unacceptable.I don’t understand why I can export simulation images as *.jpeg in absurdly high resolution, yet when it comes to videos, the quality is so low. There are compression artifacts, text becomes unreadable, and any small details in the model are completely lost in a blur of pixels.Is there any way to improve the quality of exported video or gif files?

So, let's try approach you've recommended.

step 1: create mapkey which goes through all frames.
step 2: create mapkey which makes screenshots
step 3: join them together

NOW WE HAVE ALL SCREENSHOTS AT THE SAME FOLDER( MAPKEY IS RIGID SO IF THERE IS MORE OR LESS FRAMES MAPKEY WON'T WORK PROPERLY )

step 4: create something which is callable from creo and can make gif from screenshots for us
step 5: creating python script which parces folder and collects frames
step 6: creating part of code which joins all frames into 1 gif
step 7: creating *.bat file which is now callable from PTC creo (bat file can call compiled python as *.exe file or we can do it and call python script by py command)
step 8: test everything
step 9: WIP create modifications which will allow flexibility of this mapkey(more/less frames, go through modes, etc. )
