Go to www.jcomsoft.com and download and install the activex control for gif
animation - there is a free trial version, if you want to get rid of the
annoying registration mesages, you have to register.
then run labview and place a activex container on the frontpanel.
right click and select insert activex control
select the gif animation control
then right click on the container (with the gif control inserted) and select
properties.
A window opens allowing you to select which file you want to animate,
amongst other things
click ok and its done.
well, it worked for me anyway. Its really easy once you have the activex
gif animation control.
Cheers

  • 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?

    A good program for making animated gif files is iDraw.
    It's free, easy to use and you get it here:

  • How to include animation files into muse test site on business catalyst?

    Hi there
    I am trying to publish a site created in muse to the business catalyst test website service for a client to review
    in the website i created an animation that i have inserted as an HTML snippet (ie copied relevant code into "INSERT HTML"
    The question is how do include the folder with all the files required to run the animation when i click "PUBLISH" to business catalyst?
    thanks

    Hello,
    You can make the changes in .muse file and then publish it to the existing site.
    It will automatically detect your old site when you click on File>Publish ONLY if you are using the same Adobe Id to upload the site which you used earlier to upload.
    You can check which Adobe Id you are using by going into Edit>Preferences option and under Publish with Account youwill find the Adobe Id which is being used to upload the site.
    you can change the Id (if required) by clicking on the dropdown and click on Switch accounts.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Sachin

  • How To Resize Animated GIF's All At Once?

    I have seen people say you can resize an animated GIF in
    Fireworks without doing it one frame at a time, but nobody says
    exactly how. Maybe I'm missing something simple, but is this
    possibe and if so, how do you do it?
    I tried using the forum search but it didn't find any
    results.
    I'm using Fireworks 9.0.1.1213 if that makes a
    difference.

    If you look in the frames window, you will see that each
    frame has a gray
    box on the left. Click that gray box by the first frame and
    the last frame
    to turn on onion skinning. You'll know if it worked because
    there will be
    two little icons, one pointing up and the other pointing
    down, with a line
    connecting them through all the onion skinned frames.

  • 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!

  • How to Make Animated GIF from Layer Comps?

    Have CS3 on XP.
    I have 15 Layer Comps created the way I like them...How do I make an Animated Gif or animated PNG from the Layer Comps?
    Id Like Each Layer of the animation to be one of the Layer Comps... so it shows the progression of the frames built from 1st to last.
    Thanks
    Suzzie

    I'm not sure off hand since I rarely ever have used layer comps, but I believe you need to flatten them before being able to use them in an animation...

  • 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.

  • 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 to view animated gif files?

    When I open them in Preview, each frame of the animation is displayed as its own image, rather than displaying as an animation.

    Really? What's the secret? I tried using the Open dialog box and also drag 'n drop onto the TextEdit icon. But all either got me was an unhelpful view of the binary code for the gif. I ask because I keep looking for an easy way to see the animation--I have animated gifs turned off in both Firefox and Safari, since 99% of the time they just drive me nuts, which means in order to view that 1 in a 100 (actually more like 1 in 10000) animation I would like to see I have to launch Opera.

  • How to add Animated GIF to an iWeb '11 page?

    Trying to take our existing website (not created in iWeb) and recreate in iWeb.  Have an animated GIF on our home page.  When I try to drag the GIF to the iWeb page, it's no longer animated.  And when I publish, again it's no longer animated.  I need help.
    Doug

    It should play.  Publish you site to a folder on the hard drive and open it locally to see if it plays there.
    What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?
    Make sure there's no object under the gif file.  I found trying to put an image behind it would kill the gif and require me to remove the give and add it again to the page.  They seem to be a little picky.

  • How to resize animated gif without losing animation?

    I created a wee animated gif a while ago but deleted the original Photoshop file (CS3). I need to resize the gif from 100px to 70px for an avatar. When I've changed the image size in Photoshop (it doesn't show the animation frames), it removes all animation. Is there a way around this?
    Kind regards
    Mel
    The image:

    You can infact use Adobe Macromedia Flash to resize your Gif Image.
    Import your Gif image into Flash and then you can try to resize and export the file as GIF.
    Its kinda weird but it works .

  • How to create animated gif`s on elements 5?

    Hi,
    I created few layers and in that made a box which will go from top to bottom.
    Now I keep all my layers visible and then select file > save for web and then nothing happens.
    I also tried file > save as > and tried saving the file in gif and in the save option selected save layers as frames. And then clicked on save. Then also nothing happens, the file is also not saved.
    Can anybody help me with this?
    Thank you in advance

    Edit: First make sure you are in a Administrator account. If on Windows Vista, also make sure you have Elements set up to "Run as Administrator".
    Edit: If on a Mac, read "To make Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac "Save For Web" work" second post on this page:
    http://www.smmug.org/index.php?q=node/493
    Check if it works before going to next step.
    The "Save For Web" dialog box could be off screen. Try resetting the "Save For Web" preference file.
    If you are on Windows, press and hold in the ctrl + alt keys as you go through the file menu and select File<Save For Web. A dialog will come up asking something to the effect of do you want to delete your "Save For Web Preference files". Click "OK".
    If you are on Mac, do the same as above except your shortcut keys will be cmd + opt.
    Check if it works before going to next step.
    If the above doesn't work, reset your application preference files, press and hold in the ctrl + shift + alt keys when you launch the editor. Do not release these three keys. A dialog will come up saying something to the effects of "Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings file?". You can release the three keys once this dialog comes up. Click "Okay."
    If you have a Mac, follow the above directions except the shortcut will be cmd + shift + opt.

  • Animated .gif in JTable cell

    Hi -
    I have an actual animated .gif that I would like to display in a JTable's cell. By 'actual animated .gif', I mean that it is one file that is animated, and not a succession of files that I would loop through to look like animation.
    I have edited the following code that I found in a previous post. My .gif does display in the JTable and animates only ONCE. Once it animates once, it stops. How can I cause it to keep looping through and repeating the animation?
    Thanks!

    I've heard of that problem before... I think it has something to do with how the image is loaded. I found an example of how Sun does animated gifs here: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/2D/samples/suite/Image/DukeAnim.java
    I hope it helps.
