In Keynote - Export as GIF-animation doesn't work as i used to

Does anyone know what has happened to the "export as GIF-animation"-feature? Earlier I have made the most beautiful GIF's. Now when I try to make a GIF using the exact same mp4 files, it looks totally insane. It is moving all too fast and the colors shifts to something like a cartoon 😧 . I've searched through the Help, but can't find anything. Here you can see an old and a new example of the same film:

I looked at the before and after. That is frustrating. I'm running Sonoma 14.1.2 on a 24 inch M1 iMac so that may have affected my results.

I couldn't reproduce the problem on my equipment, but this might help narrow down the problem.

I made a live action MP4 clip. I inserted the MP4 clip into a slide in a Keynote file. I then exported the file as a GIF set to Extra Large with 24 fps. It played okay but was a little clunky and chunky since it is a GIF.

Instead of a live action video, I inserted a MP4 clip of a cartoon animation I made in Keynote. I put it into a slide in a Keynote file.

I then exported the file as a GIF set to Extra Large with 24 fps. It looked okay and played at its original rate, which is 24 fps.

I hope this helps you narrow down the problem.

It looks like they fixed this with the latest update -- version 14.0 (7039.0.94).

They don't mention it in the release notes but converting a movie to gif on export works again... thankfully.
