Help with exporting an animated signature in Photoshop

Hi there,

I'm working on an animated signature for someone and I'm fairly new to animations in Photoshop. So I created a shine/glow effect using the timeline and when I click the 'Save for Web' option, it totally changes the color/transparency of the signature. It forces me to 'Optimize' the image which I believe compresses the signature and pretty much changes the image from what I wanted it to be.

I'm trying to save it as a .gif file. Is there any other way to export the signature without heavily altering the image?

Any advice is appreciated, thank you

 

1. Make the background color Sythe's background. No transparency exists in .gif (only 0% or 100%)
2. Save for web
3. In the top right where it says png-24 or png change it to gif
4. In the bottom right where it says "Loop: Once" change it to forever
5. Save and upload

 

This worked, thank you so much Jiwi! Appreciate it
