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.

  • Editing an animated gif file

    Hi experts,
    I have an animated gif file that works in my Dreamweaver website.  However, I edited the gif file in Photoshop, changing the image and canvas sizes.  When I save it (as a gif), only the top layer is retained, and it's no longer an animation.  How can I save the edited file and keep it as an animation that will work on my web page?
    Many thanks for hints
    Richard

    What version of PS are you running? In CS4, 5 and 5.5 (not sure on the others) you simply just open the .gif. It should be in layers - one layer for each frame. You will then need to open the animation panel before making any modifications. If you don't, it will change each frame to the current.
    You can't use save as. You need to use save as web or devices then make sure it's a gif and ensure the frames indicator says more than 1. You can then use the play/forward buttons to make sure it looks as you expect.

  • How to edit an animated GIF in CS6

    I've looked all over but have yet to find a good tutorial on how to edit an existing GIF I've found on the web. What is the best way to take an existing animated GIF and add text or images on it in CS6? BTW there are lots of tutorials on how to create a gif from scratch from a video but they don't help on editing an existing GIF.

  • 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.

  • How to load Material from Flat File and convert to SAP Format

    Hi
              I am loading 0Material values from Flat File for mapping purpose. The format of Material in Flat File is "7704132". Within the system, i need to compare the value with 0Material values from the incoming data and update corresponding 0Material in records. for this purpose, I created dummy materials taking 0Material as template and trying to load data. I am getting invalid error- Version '7704132' is not valid RSDMD No194. Can anyone please let me know how to over come this issue. Should I include any routine in the data source or rules level. I am in BI 7.0.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Use the FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT to convert the value into Internal format .Use this FM in the Transformations (field mapping).

  • How to open animated .GIF files in Photoshop CS3 and newer

    Q: Since ImageReady is long gone from Photoshop, how can I open animated GIF files in Photoshop CS3 and newer?
    A: File -> import-> video to layers.
    In the dialogue box type "*.*" to show all file types.
    Select your GIF file and which frames to import.
    They will now be available in your animation palette.

    Zeno
    curt y, sorry for the late reply, I tried that but I doesn't work. I have to choose at least two files in the Load Layers window in order for the OK button to be available and then some action script uses the different files to make layers and merges them but not from the frames of the gif file. I can undo through the script to see what it did but it never accessed the frames of the gif file, just the first frame. Choosing "make frames from layers" in the animation palette only puts the original files into layers - that is only the first frame of the gif file.
    I guess I'm out of luck with the 64  bit version of Photoshop as Zeno suggested :-(
    What program would you people suggest for opening each frame from gif files?

  • 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 SWF

    I have an FLA file that is utilizing numerous animated GIF
    files the files themselves are also rather large. I was hoping that
    when rendering the SWF file it would simply render to the
    resolution stated and the individual components within the FLA
    should not matter. For example, a SWF file of 100 X 100 playing for
    10 Seconds would be half the size of the same thing running for 20
    seconds. And the number of GIFs or other elements within the FLA
    should not matter. This is obviously not the case... however I
    would like to know how I can effectively integrate animated GIF
    files without hugely impacting SWF file size.
    Thanks for you time :)

    If you are web deployed you can put an animated gif as the image to an iconic button.
    Image items cannot display animated gifs.
    Anything else you can do through a JavaBean if you need to.

  • Is it possible and how to open animated gif files in Photoshop CS4

    I made a Google search and I found tips that Photoshop can open frames from animated gif files by using File->Import->Video Frames to Layers. But this menu is missing from Photoshop CS4 on the computer I'm using it. Searching this forum for "Import animated gif" didn't return any result. Any ideas?

  • How can I edit an animated GIF?

    is there a way to add a animated GIF into your work, when I try to add one I am told that it will be a single layer. I downloaded a GIF from the web and trying to incorparate it into a web site header.

    Well, you are in luck, sort of. You have all the apps needed to create an animated gif. However that does not mean that the image you download was already or not. It could be a single image.
    A couple of things to go over
    1) When downloading from the net make sure you have permission to use that image before sharing with the public, as the image is protected by copyright laws in the US. (Images that state - Permission to use commercially, copyright free, common law licence - Generally are meant to share with the general public, granted that you post somewhere who you got the image from(the Least anyone can do it give credit where credit is due)
    2)Since you have the Master Collection or the CS4 Master Suite, you have every app that is need to create your own works of art. Photoshop, After Effects, Premeire pro are all capable of creating animated gifs. With the latter two being easier than photoshop.
    Since you have CS4 photoshop and this is the photoshop forum, we will keep it there.
    The version of Photoshop that comes in the master suite is the extended version of photoshop which is require for most of the animations it can do. Though, think and am not certain that the standard version can create animated gif files.
    OK, ok we got a lot of mumbo jumbo above so lets get into how to create an animated gif.
    First we need to determine if we are editing an animated gif or creating one from scratch. To load an animated gif all you need to do is file>open then select the file. Simple enough.
    The file will place each frame onto its own layer and if you have the animation panel open (If not select Windows>Animation ) Each frame will be placed there as well.
    Lets say we are going to edit a frame or better yet introduce a new frame. In the upper right hand corner of the animation panel is a small icon. Clicking it will pop up a menu. In that menu select delete animation. Don't worry your layers are safe, it only removes the frames from the animation panel.
    Now you can either change something in one of the layers or add a layer where you want the frame intoduced.
    When you are done you can select that same icon in the animation panel to pop up the menu and select Make frames from layers This will place all the layers back into the animation panel. This has to happen in order to save an animated gif.
    You can now use the File>save to web or File>Save to web and devices (This optiuon changed during one of the version, I don't recall so both are listed or look for something close to that)
    Select Gif for the format then the save button, where you can choose a location and file name. It will automatically add a hyphen between any words that normally are spaces for the web.
    OK, If you read the above, you probably alread realize how to create one from scratch. Just add a new layer for each frame and follow the steps above to add it to the animation panel and save for web.
    I know it sounds like a lot, but once you have done it a few times, it actually fairly simple.
    OK, Bonus round - What about After Effects and Premeire Pro?
    Well both of those apps Use a timeline instead of frames. Which makes them much simpler and more powerful for animations, since that is what they are dedicated to do.
    It is as simple as open the gif file, edit it, save it, done.
    I won't go into how the timeline works as that would require a long , long post. But once you understand it, it is much quicker and can do way more feature wise.
    One last thing, play around with it and see what it can do before commiting time to creating or editing a gif. It goes much easier once you get the hang of it.
    If you have any questions, issues, etc. just post away...
    Well, I got to go, I hope this helps.

  • Activation of links to embedded ".kmz" and "Animated GIF" files.

    I recently upgraded from Adobe Acrobat Pro X to Adobe Acrobat  Pro XI and noticed a slight difference on how documents linked in an Adobe Acrobat File are activated for display.
    I have placed files I want to display in my Adobe Acrobat file as file attachments.  I then link to those files, so that the user can click on an icon area within the document and open the file in a new window. 
    After a little effort, I was able to make the correct links to .pdf file attachments, but ran into problems linking to and displaying files that utilize external applications to view the file.  If I was able to convert this file to a .pdf file, I could open it with no problem.
    However, I am having trouble linking the following file types for display from file attachments already embedded in the Adobe Acrobat document file.
    They are...Portable Network Graphic (PNG), Animated Graphic Interchange Format (GIF), and Keyhole Mark-up Language - Zipped (.KMZ)  and Microsoft Word (PPT) files.
    The .pdf file was originally convered from a Microsoft Word file in which all of the links worked fine.
    I thought I had the problem solved in Adobe Acrobat Pro X, but cannot seem to open the same files iin Adobe Acrobat Pro XI.
    Would appreciate some guidance.

  • How to remove background of a animated GIF file?

    i have revoling rings animated gif file, i want remove its blackgroung and want add plain white backgroung. how to do that? i use PS cs 5

    Remove the background from each frame's layer so their background is transparent. Then add a new bottom layer which is the replacment background and set it to be visible in all frames of the animation. Then save for web. Why can't you show the animation is its content agenst the rules here. Use the background removal method the works best for each frame.
