Getting Animated Gif files to animate

Anyhad had any success at having animated gif files animating in Keynote 2? Mine doesn't seem to want to animate. Thx!

Another thing, did you get your animated GIF from online or from a collection on CD/DVD? If you just drag and drop an animated GIF from Safari, it will usually only save the starting image. You have to control-click (or right-click) and Save File As… to save all parts of an animated GIF you download from the web. Off of a CD/DVD, there shouldn't be any such problem, though.

  • Animated .gif files in Captivate - why doesn't it work?

    OS:                         XP
    Captivate Version:      3
    I was e-mailed an animated .gif that I want to use in a project I'm working on.
    I saved the .gif to a drive.  I then clicked Insert - Animation and selected it.  I received a message stating This is not an animated GIF file or file in use.  If I click Insert - Image, it brings in the image but the file is not animated.
    Just for testing purposes, I moved the .gif file by itself on to the web server.  When I access it through Internet Explorer on the web server, it works.
    How do I get the file to animate in Captivate?
    Your help is appreciated.  Thanks.

    I wasn't able to open your GIF animation in Photoshop and nothing appeared in Captivate when I inserted it -- the same experience that you had. I tried an experiment with a very simple GIF animation that I created from scratch in Photoshop CS4. When I tried to insert this simple animation into Captivate 4, a message appeared that Captivate was converting. It never finished converting and eventually hung Captivate and had to force it to quit.
    Since Lilybiri is able to insert Photoshop animated GIFs into Captivate without any problems, it may be that there are some version incompatibilities. It would be interesting to know which versions of Photoshop and Captivate Lilybiri is using and which versions you are using. It would also be interesting to know if Lilybiri is using transparency in the GIF, and which settings are being used when saving the GIF.

  • Viewing Animated GIF files in Preview

    Hello...
    I'm trying to figure out why I cannot view animated GIF files within Preview. When I search within Preview's help I get this...
    *1. Open the animated GIF file in Preview.*
    *2. If the window's drawer isn't already visible, choose View > Drawer.*
    *The drawer contains a thumbnail image for the animated GIF. The number of frames in the animation appears in the lower-right corner.*
    *3. Click the triangle beside the thumbnail image.*
    *Preview shows all the frames in the animated GIF. When you click a frame, the animation stops and Preview displays that frame.*
    Now at the end of number 3 it states that "the animation stops", so according to that statment Preview should be "playing" the animation until I click a certain frame to stop it. Well mine doesn't do this, SO what's going on?
    Oh, my OS is v10.4.10 and Preview is v3.0.9(409).
    Thanks!

    Preview in Panther did play animated gifs, although it was a bit clunky at it. Evidently they intended to fix this in Tiger, but instead they ended up breaking it completely. To play an animated gif you now need to do so in a browser, such as Safari. Preview no longer plays them at all.

  • How to edit a Animated Gif file and convert to SWF

    I am using the creative cloud with fireworks. I chose the free trial with buying in mind if I saw it work properly. I simply want to upload an animated GIF file and then download it as a SWF file. I saw someone on youtube do this and it's not that if I get on the correct page I would not know how to do that but I just cannot find how to get the GIF into the software to edit. It has just simply put them in the creative cloud folder which can open them on IE> How do i make it available to edit and convert to SWF please? Thanks in advance.

  • Animated .gif files in mail. Problem persists. (PANTHER)

    3-17-07
    Happy St. Valentine's Day to all you Irish folks!
    I'm posting this even though there are threads in the forum that I have
    used and contributed to in the past on this topic.
    The problem PERSISTS!
    The problem/situation is that in mail from family/trusted friends, after I
    open the mail, there is no "Load Images" warning at the top but an
    animated .gif file is in the message! (don't get me wrong, i do sincerely
    love dancing bears. i just want some warning.)
    Any suggerstions?
    In mail preferences,viewing I have unchecked "display images and embedded
    objects in HTML messages".
    In mail preferences,junkmail I have "enable junk mail filtering" and
    "trust junk mail headers..." both checked.
    All junk mail is flagged as junk. (in junkmail,advanced and in rules).
    I keep the preview pane collapsed.
    I pay attention to flags and don't open junk from strangers.

  • Animated gif don't animate

    Guys,
    Animated gifs do not animate when I receive them in Mail. What could be my problem?

    try loading the Animated GIF QuickLook plugin
    available for MacOS-X 10.5/10.6

    you can quicklook the gif thru the finder and set the default application as the File Viewer to open the gif files

  • Can Premiere Elements be used on an animated gif file?

    I am considering purchasing Premiere Elements but I need to know if one can use it to add effects to an animated gif file.
    For example, in Photoshop Elements one can add certain effects to a gif image, such as giving it certain textures or filters.
    Can one do the same kind of thing in Premiere Elements and if so can it be done to an animated gif file?
    Maybe a better way to ask this question is:  can you import an animated gif file into Premiere Elements and then manipulate it?  Run filters, etc.
    Thanks for your help.

    If you load your GIF into Premiere Elements 10, edit it, then share to an AVI file, you can then import the AVI file into GIF Movie Gear by Gamani, which will then create an animated GIF. I learned about this utility from a Microsoft tutorial on creating icons for Windows XP.
    http://www.gamani.com/product_icon.htm
    If you use Firefox and get redirected, try using Internet Explorer instead.
    After the trial period is over, it's $29.95US for 4 licences.
    When you share to an AVI file, you will want to select the Microsoft AVI item from the list, then click the advanced button to open up the dialog where you will need to select a codec and enter the frame size and frame rate. The codec will have to be one that GIF Movie Gear likes, so there may be some trial and error needed to get a good codec. I shared to an AVI after picking Xvid for the codec, which GIF Movie Gear imported.

  • Is there support for animated .gif files?

    Is there support for animated gif files using
    form builder? I can't get it to work.
    Thanks
    Sean
    I am using forms 6.0

    She used the Link Tool, specfied 'Image URL' as the Source File Format and the url of the animated GIF in the Source Filename. Hope that helps.
    Makes sense but the form is not for the web.
    I have looked at doing it with timers and switching canvases, but that is just too much
    for sloppy animation. It's just not tight enough.
    Thanks,

  • Animated gif files not working in FF5 ok in every other browser

    Hi .
    I am having problems getting animated gifs to play in firefox 5 i am using a photo gallery script to show these files it works in every other browser i have access to (most of them on Linux and windows Xp and win7 ) if i use FF5 as a file manager and navigate to the files they run but not from a web page this is only with firefox 4 and 5 not got previous to 4 to test .

    Right . this looks like it may be a problem with the way FF5 is handling various methods of viewing images i use the following code .
    <pre><nowiki><a class="thumbnail" href="#thumb"><img src="photos/IMG_7039 EOS-1D Mark III copy.jpg" width="100px" height="75px" border="0"><span><img src="photos/Animations/IMG_7039 EOS-1D Mark III copy.gif"></span></a></nowiki></pre>
    along with css .
    <pre><nowiki>(
    .gallerycontainer{
    position: relative;
    /*Add a height attribute and set to largest image's height to prevent overlaying*/
    .thumbnail img{
    border: 1px solid blue;
    margin: 0 5px 5px 0;
    .thumbnail:hover{
    background-color: transparent;
    .thumbnail:hover img{
    border: 1px solid blue;
    .thumbnail span{ /*CSS for enlarged image*/
    position: fixed;
    background-color: lightyellow;
    padding: 5px;

    border: 1px dashed gray;
    visibility: hidden;
    color: black;
    text-decoration: none;

    top: 0;

  • ANIMATIONS (.GIF FILES) AND LAYERS

    1. I HAVE PSE7 AND I CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANY ANIMATIONS TO WORK. IF I OPEN AN ANIMATED (.GIF) FILE, IT IS NO LONGER ANIMATED. DO I HAVE TO PUT IT ON A SPECIAL LAYER TYPE? WHEN I OPEN ONE OF THESE FILES, PSE7 CREATES 3 LAYERS FOR THE IMAGE, NONE OF THEM ANIMATED. WHEN I COMBINE THE LAYERS SO I HAVE ONE LAYER WITH THE IMAGE, IT ASKS IF I WANT TO DELETE THE HIDDEN OR EMPTY LAYERS, CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH.
    2. WHAT IS AN INDEX LAYER? WHEN I OPENED ONE OF MY FILES, IT CAME IN AS AN INDEX LAYER AND I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING WITH IT.
    I'M RUNNING WINDOWS XP PRO SP2.
    THANKS FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME.
    MAUREEN

    GIF does not support layers.
    Animated GIF files may open as layers into Photoshop. You need to save them again as an animated GIF file after manipulating them in the animation panel. The 'Save for Web' function would be most ideal.

  • Can you make an animated gif from edge animate?

    Can you make an animated gif from edge animate?

    not natively. edge exports html and javascript files, not video files, or frames.
    however, you could use a third-party program that has a video screenshot function and make one that way.

  • How to get animated gifs or jpgs to work

    thanks for reading!
    how do you get animated gifs or jpgs to work in iweb? i have a few that i made and worked when i had the old site up. but under iweb they wont, if you go to
    my site use my username as the domain. www.myusername.com you will see a open 24hr sign that s animated but wont work in iweb, also thier is a little gif of a radio at the buttom the dials move and the numbers change, under i web they dont work why?
    thank for reading this

    Not sure exactly what is happening over there on your end. Animated GIFs can be drag and dropped into iWeb, no problem. Inside iWeb when you drop them onto your page, YOU WILL NOT SEE THEM ANIMATE. You may even see them show up with a QT controller bar underneath them. But don't worry....once you publish your page, the GIF will be animated and the controller bar will disappear. Just try it!

  • Animated .gif files

    I have been using an older version of Photoshop Elements for a long time but just got a new MacPro and decided it's time to upgrade my PSE.  But maybe not....I downloaded the Photoshop Elements Trial version to check out if it's really worth upgrading or not and I think I'm in trouble. I have a ton of animated .gif files and they do not appear to open in the familiar "layers".  i read through some of these discussion threads and I think you're saying that if I use the current version of Photoshop Elements I will not be able to edit my old .gif files.  I did try making new layered files and save them for the web with animation and that seemed to work.  But if I'm going to lose the ability to edit my old .gif files I'm not sure I want to upgrade.
    Can someone clarify this for me please.  Maybe it's just a matter of switching from Elements to CS4, but I thought from the descriptions of the programs as provided in the Products section that I fit more with the Elements program.....maybe not???? 
    And this does not even consider that I haven't tried to load my older version on the new intel machine yet, it may not even run if I try that.
    I do, for about 20% of my computing time use "that other" platform, but I don't like it, I much prefer my wonderful Mac machines.
    thanks for your help
    Leigh

    Thank you for your offer, I do appreciae it.  But I think the better question to ask at this point is :  What is the last version of Photoshop Elements that supports editing animated gif files.  This is too important to me to lose this ability and after checking further I see CS4 is out of my price and needed features range. I would rather hang on to my old laptop to manipulate photos than lose the ability to edit my .gif files.
    Can anybody help with this question?

  • Animated Gif files in Captivate

    I have created an animated GIF file in Photoshop that i want to use in my captivate file.
    The file wont preview in any of the preview modes other than the HTML5 output preview. All other previews just show the first frame of the GIF file.
    If i chose to SWAP the animation with another GIF from the library the preview shows the animation playing.. see attached
    Is there something im doing wrong here.
    I guess i could upload my final file to the LMS with HTML5 output as this preview shows the animation but i also read there are limitations with this output as some transitions / effects dont work.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Darren

    Hi Darren,
    Yes, you can verify whether your GIF would fucntion correctly on HTML5 platform by Window--HTML5 Tracker Pod.
    I am not an expert on Photoshop, but still would like to make a recommendation.
    Set the 'delay' value for each of your Frame to 0.01 or some value if it shows as 0, this can be done using the animation frame Window. Save it as GIF again for Web Devices and import in Captivate, see, if you are abale to preview this time.
    Thanks,
