The problem seems to be that the file is simply to huge. As in MB, not pixels. So decrease the file size.

Thanks i think youre right but how do i change it?

Well, reducing the size in pixels os a good first step. You should also reduce the color deph and engage in diphering. Or make the video shorter, GIFs aren't really made for videos.

But dude how do i reduce the pixels?

Steam says 10MB is the limit, but it's more like a lil bit less than 8MB.

You can reduce the pixels by cropping/resizing, but that requires 3th party applications like Photoshop for images and Adobe Fireworks for gifs. Tons of other tools around that are cheaper or free, i just don't know any and how good it works. You could also get a tool that converts gif to image, then crop all the frames independently from eachother and convert it back into a gif.

There's also a wizard in Adobe Fireworks that can convert animated gifs into a target size. You could just select 8 MB as target size and it would convert automatically so it stays below the target number.
