Check the Limit To Every # Frames and type in 3.
The view/edit the frames, go to Window > Animation.
Select the first frame, then hold Shift then click the last frame. All frames should be selected now. Right-click 0.04 sec (number may vary) and a drop-down menu will show. Select No Delay.
Go to File > Save for Web & Devices…
Make sure GIF is selected, Dither is 100%, and uncheck Transparent (if checked).
Then Save. Your final product should look like this!
Tips
Always test a GIF in a browser, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox.
The fewer frames used, the faster the gif will load.
If your GIF is slow, try loading fewer frames (ie. Limit to Every 4 Frames) and/or decreasing the delay (ie. No Delay, 0.01, etc).
Videos with large resolutions may result in slow loading. Try decreasing the image size by 75% or 50%.
