Thanks for your reply.  Here are the contents of the .bat file you requested.  I'm assuming it is the "_" in the name that messed it up, as the original file was named "Comp 1", but the renaming algorithm added the "_4" (this was my fourth attempt, versions _2 and _3 also were previously generated by AfterEffects...)

cd\ cd "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 2018\Support Files\Scripts\ScriptUI Panels\GIFsquid\"
GIFsquidavi.bat 24 1500 "D:\Windows\Documents\WebWorks\Brittleknee\Gif Creation\1\Comp 1_4.avi" "D:\Windows\Documents\WebWorks\Brittleknee\Gif Creation\1\GIFsquid_Output" 0.5 480x "" "Comp 1_4.avi" false
exit

The first time I used GIFsquid it added the project to the render queue, but then did nothing.  I had to manually "Squirt GIF" again, and then it finally ran (DOS popup).  However, the .gif it created was exceptionally choppy/stuttered when viewed.  I figured this had to do with a  framerate issue, so I adjusted the composition and settings and ran GIFsquid again, but the only thing it's doing is creating new AVI files in the output directory.  The DOS function never runs and a .gif file is never generated.

Any thoughts/input would be greatly appreciated.  I'm using AfterEffects cc2018 on Windows 10 Home Build 16299.

**Edit - I previously had a paragraph expressing concerns at how GIFsquid might have altered the way Adobe Media Encoder generates animated .gif files, but have since resolve that issue and removed that portion of my question above.
