Easiest way is to use ANICONV which comes with Animator Pro. If you don't have that, another way is to use Video Post. Simply start 3DSr2.01, go to the Keyframer with nothing loaded, do Render/Setup/Configure to set the NULL device,the desired output resolution and file format of GIF and Compressed. Then press [*] on your keyboard, and make sure the directory containing your FLC is either the Image Path or one of the Map Paths — this is IMPORTANT! Now do Render/Video Post and click on any viewport. Click [Add] and the first entry, and you should see "[KF scene]". Increase the frame count of the Video Post if necessary. Click [Edit] and then [KF scene] and select "Bitmap" and enter the name of your FLC file. You will soon see a bar appear that's the length of the FLC. Adjust if necessary. Now click on [Render], use [All] if you've set the Video Post frame count to the exact length of the FLC or [Range:] otherwise, click [Disk], and [Render]. Enter the first four characters of the name you want the GIFs to have (the rest will be digits) and select a drive and directory if other than the Image Path for them to go in, and click [Ok]. Voila!
