How do i export a flash movie as an animated gif with transparent background?

each export has the background in it.
I have looked into the publish setting for gif but no option there, or in the background colour setting in the main design window has any Alpha or Transparency setting.

Thought that issue went away. The only workaround I found was exporting a PNG sequence with transparency, importing it all back into a better animated GIF exporter like Fireworks as an image sequence and exporting it from there again. It will give you the best quality, control over the timeline, looping and various per-frame AGIF functionality.
But yes, it's a multi-step headache.

  • How to export animated gif with transparent background and glow effect?

    I've been having issues lately with creating animated gifs in flash. I finally figured out a way to export a gif with a transparent background but I'm now having an issue with it again because I'm using a glow effect. When the gif is exported the glow effect changes into a very poor quality and becomes less of a glow and more like a solid color. I've even exported a png sequence from flash and put it into photoshop then created a gif from there but I'm still having the same issue. Is there anyway I can properly export this in gif form so the quality is the same as when I test it in flash?
    I've provided an image of what my issue looks like and the settings (I've messed around with the settings and this is the best I can come up with) . This is in photoshop but the result is similar in flash. The left one is what it originally looks like and the right is what it will look like after exporting. As you can see as I said before the glow changes into more of a solid color kind of like a border. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

    A GIF is limited to 256 colors while a glow effect likely wants to tie up thousands (let's just say 'lots') of variations of tone.

  • How to I move gif with transparent background to jpg background?

    I am using the Master Squite CS 5.5 trail on Windows XP Pro with SP3.  I am not a Photoshop expert, but have done a fair amount for work with iit.
    I am trying to build some headers for websites and I know how to combine JPG images and text to ceate a header image.
    Now I have a couple of logos that I got in JPG format, converted them to GIF and made the backgrounds transparent.
    The "Move" tool doesn't seem to allow me to drag and drop a GIF image with a transparent background onto a JPG header background.  I tried converting the JPG header background to a GIF image too, but it won't let me move the transparent image to this background.
    I really need to get this to work somehow to create the professional look I want.
    Thanks!

    Your mistake is in assuming you need GIF anywhere in the process.
    Try this instead:  Paste your logo JPEG over the background as a separate layer, then remove the pixels you want to be transparent by either Deleting them or Masking them.

  • How to make animations float with transparent background

    I am taking a graduate course in adv. web design for an ed
    tech program at a university. Neither my instructor nor anyone else
    in my class knows how to get Flash animations to have a transparent
    background, or even if this is possible. On behalf of us all, I am
    wondering if it is possible to create a Flash animation without a
    background--or with a transparent background, and then superimpose
    it onto a web page so that the web page's background shows through
    all but the animated part. We are using Flash 8. If it is possible,
    can someone please tell us how to do it? I have seen web pages
    where the animations float over the web page. Are these animations
    made with Flash or with another program? Thank you!

    Yes, it's easy, but haven't done it for a while, and not
    since all the new ActiveX stuff on MS IE requires Java Script to
    make the dotted outline go away.
    To do it well takes a combination of Flash with the
    publish-settings HTML Window Mode set to Transparent Windowless,
    and tightly-designed CSS with your animation positioned in a div
    that lies or overlays the exact place on the HTML page where you
    want it. You can even have it scale to the entire visible window,
    which can be quite cool. I did one for the holidays with snow
    falling over an HTML page. It can block lnks from working, though,
    so you can have the div (and animation) disappear when the
    animation is done.

  • Export white gif with transparent background

    Hi,
    I suppose this is a bug, or has anybody an idea: I have a transparent canvas and a white drawing. Very simple thing. Now I want to export this as a gif, just like it is: transparent background, white drawing. But this seems to be impossible. I can choose any of the available settings in export dialog (no transparence, index-transparency, alpha-transparency), Fireworks will never export the image correctly. Either I have a total white or a total transparent gif, I even got a white drawing on black background (but can't reproduce it).
    System: Mac, Fireworks CS5
    Thank you, Michael

    Set the Transparency type to Alpha when you export.

  • How to insert image with transparent background?

    I have several logos saved at .GIFs with transparent backgrounds that I would like to import into my dashboard, but it seems that the image component only supports JPEG.  Is there a way to import images while maintaining their transparency?

    Well, you CAN insert GIFs or other image formats.  But I have yet to figure out a way to take a GIF with a transparent background and import it into my Xcelsius while preserving the transparency.  The transparent background always just defaults to white.
    This is a crucial feature as I have some logos I want to use that are circular.  But if I can't give them a transparent background, it drastically limits their placement options.
    I know that flash does support transparency, so am I missing something here?

  • Export a Flash Movie File

    Can you Export Flash Movie files to other formats?? Don see
    an Export to other File options.
    Would like to Export a Flash Movie or SWF file to a Quicktime
    or IPOD MPEG File.
    Anyone know where to do this? Do not see an Export to File
    option to that Format on Flash Pro CS.
    Thanks

    Without seeing your movie, its difficult to tell where the
    problem may be. My first guess is that the data rate is to high.
    You will probably need to choke that back in some way: lower the
    data rate for the compressor, reduce the frame rate, reduce the
    image size, reduce the color depth, etc.
    When you select to export to QT, for example, a new window
    opens to let you select some basic settings. At the lower right of
    that window is a button titled "Quicktime Settings...". Click that
    button and a new window will open that will allow you to set the
    compressor, frame rate, quality, etc.

  • How do I export to flash

    I made a movie in final cut pro and exported it in quicktime. I also wanted a flash version so I opened up quicktime and exported to flash movie. .flv at the end and that will only play with my realone player and not my flash player. Is there another format I need to be changing it to for it to work?
    Thanks,
    Caleb

    Export to Flash isn't done by QuickTime. Third party apps and add ons do the job.
    Sounds like you have some very old software on your machine if you still see Flash as an export option since QuickTime Player can't even view the exported .swf file.
    Check with Adobe (new owners of the Flash software) for more answers.

  • How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone? I synced the device and noticed that some photos and some movies from iPhoto on my laptop were not transferred to my iPhone.

    How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone?  I synced the devices and noticed that some photos and movies on my laptop iPhoto were not transferred to my iPhone?

    I am not sure, which answer you found - so just in case:
    If you sync your iPhone with the iPhoto library, the photos will only stay on the iPhone until the next sync and they are not in the Camera Roll. If you transfer using the Photo Stream, they will only be vidsible in the stream, until they are replaced in iCloud by newer content.
    So, if you want to transfer the photos permanently, save them to the Camera Roll.

  • How can I export a file with transparent background?

    Hi all,
    I know InDesign doesn't allow to export a PNG file, but I need my file to be in image file format with transparent background.
    I'm still learning so I am stuck here. How can I export a file with transparent background?

    If you can't get the PNG file export to work, you can export a pdf and open it in Photoshop, from there you can save it as whatever you like.

  • Converting mov files to animated gifs

    Basic question: how-to convert MOV files to animated GIF files. I have been searching for free/opensource/shareware to do this but so far no program I found could do this.
    I'd love someone to answer, definitively, about free/opensource/shareware, but my hopes are down.
    So, I ask what MAC program (even if I have to buy it) will let me convert MOV files to animated GIFs or MOV frames to seperate images (is that at all possible?).
    Secondly, does anyone have experience with software that does this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Quicktime Pro 7 can take video (ie mov files) and export them as image sequences.
    It can be purchased at the Apple store for $30.

  • Export with transparent background and opacity

    Apologies if these questions are a little basic , but taking my first steps in motion after playing with imovie , FCE and live type for a while
    I have started to get a rough idea of motions capabilities but a couple of questions still are puzzling me .
    In live type I created graphics , lower thirds etc with an alpha (transparent background) , for use in PIC in PIC in I movie , how do I do this in Motion , everything saved comes up with a background colour despite my canvas being set to transparent ?
    Also opacity does not seem to show up at all , all my saved movies with layers with opacity changes (ie not 100%) show those layers as solids with no fading .
    Any ideas where I am going wrong ?
    Any answers or advice gratefully received with thanks

    When you Share your creation you must select a movie standard with transparency - in Motion 4 you selected any option with Millions of Colors+ where the + was transparency.
    In Motion 5 if you have transparency selected for your background already then when you export select "Current Settings" on the Export drop down selection which is normally default.

    With what program are you working and with what version of the program and on what computer operating system?
    I suspect that you are working with some version of Photoshop Elements. If that is correct, then be advised that some how
    your thread got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing) instead of the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum (photo editing).
    If Photoshop Elements question, then please re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator
    here to see your thread here and move it from here to there.
    Photoshop Elements
    Thought....if are creating an image on a transparent background in Photoshop Elements Windows for a Premiere Elements Windows project, then you Save As png or psd.
    Please clarify if I have misinterpreted your question.
    Thank you.

  • Flash exe with transparent background

    Hi,
       Is there a way to project an EXE with transparent background from flash (only using flash).
    If not only flash,
          then what else should I use??
    As I know there are softwares like NorthCode, Zinc, etc., But all of them affects the script in some way like "fscommand("quit");, loadMovie();" does not seem working.
    What I exactly need is:
      1) Flash projector (EXE as well as APP) with transparent background
      2) I need to loadMovie (call exteranl swfs) into the main projector file.
          "note:The external swfs are FlashPaper files, so I should I have access to API, so that I could resize them, edit UI as I want."
    Thanks in Advance.
    Vinod Kumar.K.V

    from "Render and export a composition as an FLV or F4V file":
    "To include the alpha channel in the FLV output, use the On2 VP6 codec and select Encode Alpha Channel in the Video tab of the export settings dialog box."
