Add web url to one frame of an animated gif?

I have created an animated gif in Photoshop CS5 and want to add a url to one of the 3 frames as this gif is going on a website as a banner advert.
I've read that I can use the slice tool to do this (?), but if so, I need help in laymans language as to how to do this. Or should I be doing it  a different way. I dont have fireworks, flash, illustrator etc, just photoshop cs5.
The animated gif is for a website on a wordpress platform.
Please help!
Thank you.

The Slice tool will divide an image into sections. These sections are not temporal, that is they cannot be time or frame based. They are physical structures, so you can make the bottom half have a URL displayed, and attach the HTML code to make that URL a clickable link. But this is all handled by HTML code. When you use the Slice Tool in combination with File > Save for Web and Devices, your output is not just the GIF file, but a full HTML web page that places the images (each slice will be a separate image file) so that it appears as a single image, with separate areas having URL link code attached.
What you are trying to do, have a link attached to a single frame of animation within a GIF, is not possible. The GIF file format doesn't support anything like this, it does not support clickable links, nor does it support special behaviors per frame. Clickable links are entirely handled by HTML when it comes to image files. You would have to use Flash for something like this, but you would be creating an SWF, not a GIF. Fireworks and Illustrator would work the same as Photoshop in this regard.

  • How to  load frames of an animated gif

    Hi,
    is it possible to load all frames of an animated gif ?
    Best Regards
    Thorsten

    Without an SSCCE , I'm only guessing, but you could try:
    Use an ImageIcon , which animates GIFs automatically.
    or
    Use an ImageReader , which has a getNumImages() method, and other methods that return certain frames of a GIF image.
    and
    Read [this |http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Media/imagestrategies/index.html] (at least the bits about gifs)

  • Accesing different frames of an animated GIF

    I'm really sorry to crosspost this question, but it seems to be a more advanced topic than i thought.
    I'd like to load a GIF image and be able to show the different frames any time I want. No animation, no order. Just do somthing like:
    myImage = gifImage.getFrame(1)
    Thanks a lot

    I don't think it is possible. Normally a gif image is
    not really a folder of images. When creating a gif
    image you choose all different types of compression,
    wether to re write similar color frames etc so I don't
    think there is a way to ask a gif file to give up it's
    frames without some type of image editing software.
    This is just a guess based on creating gif images.But I'm able to edit all kind of animated gifs I download from the web. I open the with Animator Pro (PaintShopPro) and I can see all the individual frames. So the frames appear to be independent (although not completely) entities inside this single file. I mean, if animator can extract the frames, and my browser can extract the frames, why can't I ?

  • Can't set frame rate on animated GIF PSE8 on Mac

    When saving an animated GIF in Elements 8 (running on Mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard) I can't modify the frame rate. It is set at the default .2 delay and can't be modified. Anyone know of a fix for this?
    Thanks.

    Thanks Barbara... I have used that very workaround already - but was hoping there was a solution so I could just do it in the app designed for this! So unfortunate that Adobe knows about this bug and hasn't fixed it!

  • Why doesn't the "View image info" show how many frames are in animated gifs?

    When I right click on an image, then click "View Image Info" it used to show how many frames were included in an animated gif. This stopped working in Firefox 4. Why is that?

    I'm not too sure what I did but it works now.

  • What's the simplest way to export a single frame from an animated gif as gif?

    i have an animated gif and wish to save a single frame as a non-animated gif.
    in the past i've been achieving this by deleting all the frames i don't wish to export and deleting them before exerting, this seems very clumsy though so i figure there's a more sensible solution in there somewhere, but where?

    Thanks, Bill! Actually version 9 looks a little clearer than that, as it has two bold clear white paddles to mark the edge of the work area.
    I was a little frustrated at first, because whatever I did, it still took a year and exported the entire video.
    Then:
    I caught sight of this teeny tiny box waiting for a tick from me, which said:
    Share Work area Bar Only
    We have lift-off 
    Thanks again. So much quicker than all that deleting ahnd hoping you don't accidentally say "yes" when prompted to save changes!

  • How to add two list in one frame using REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY

    Hi,
    I want to display two list in single output by calling FM 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY' twice.
    I saw one topic posted by Arunava Das as 'ALV Problem' but didn't get the steps to do that.
    Here is his way of doing that "What I have done is gone for the append ALV approach wher I have added the END_OF_LIST Event for the Fisrt reprt and in the Corresponding FORM Routine I have added another made another cALL to the REUSE_ALV_LIST DISPLAY FM with the other table."
    I would be grateful if someone can help me out.

    Hi Ashish,
    The way you have tried i.e. calling the second list in the END_OF_LIST event of first list and like wise that is the correct way of doing it.
    Using this way you can display multiple lists. In the event END_OF_LIST by using a global variable G_COUNTER. the value of which you increment for each list and based on that counter you call different lists in the END_OF_LIST event.
    case G_COUNTER.
      when 1. perform call_first_list.
      when 2. perform call_second_list.
      when 3. perform call_third_list.
    endcase.
    Hope this answers your query
    regards,

  • Web URL in EASY DMS

    Hi All,
    Can we have similar functioanlity as we have in SAP GUI i.e to add Web URL directly to DIR.If yes please guide how.We have already implemented the same in SAP GUi it works fine and now we are trying the same in EASY DMS.
    Regards
    Amulya

    Dear Harish,
    I have noticed there are many posts from you on easyDMS (starting from u201C what are the drawbacks.etc etc).looks like you are facing some issues in implementing the easyDMS. but that also shows that you have not gone through the proper documentation which is available with the installation of easydms in pdf formats..
    you can first go through the documents carefully (step by step approach)..once you do it, you will get a very clear picture of what is easydms and how it works..after that in case you get some specific issues you can always post them in SDN..
    Sometimes investing some time to learn a product will provide you more insights about product..by QnA session you wont be able to know all the features of easydms (or for any other product in general).
    Plz take is in a positive way..we have experts in SDN who can help but even god helps those who help themselves

  • Photoshop CS6 linking to a URL in an animated gif

    Feel a bit anal asking this as my experise is not in animated gifs but I need to know how to link either the last frame of an animated gif to a url.
    Not even sure this is possible in PS.
    anyone?
    R

    Links are not in animated gifs.  Links are a HTML thing like this
    Its a html tag hyperlink and in the link you include a image using an image HTML tag the image can be an animated GIF.

  • Animated GIF not cycling frames in Tomcat

    I have pages that use animated gif files to get across a point.
    In the IDE, they cycle the images as they should
    SunAppserver cycles them properly.
    I only get the first frame in Tomcat (5.5.7)
    Over on the java.net, I saw this on a page concerning JAI:
    GIF
    The decoder supports animated GIF files and GIF files with transparent background. Only the first frame of an animated GIF file may be loaded via JAI; subsequent frames must be obtained via direct use of the ancillary codec classes.
    Um, am I missing something, or is this a Tomcat problem ?

    You just need transparency in your file. Not sure if it has to be pre-multiplied. In graphic converter you need to remove the backgrounds. Haven't used GC in years so can't say how you can be sure it's gone but in Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects you can choose to have a checkerboard background to tell you when you are seeing 'thru' the image and by how much (the overall opacity or mask of the whole image if that doesn't confuse the issue).
    If you are using PS images they will almost certainly generated with a set of rectangles including a perimeter cropping box and white background and these need to go either before it's bitmapped in a vector base app or the relevant pixels erased after it has been bit mapped in GC. As previously mentioned, if you have a unique bkgd colour, colour selecting/keying are some ways to do this). Much faster for >10 images to generate the plots without the bkgd but this may not be possible, what software is source material coming from?
    I regularly bring in vector based moving art-work into keynote with alpha from Adobe AE, Apple Quartz and rendered .mov files. Some codecs (H.264) don't support a separate alpha channel (RGBA) but PNG (slow to render) and animation and a bunch of others do. Pre-multiplying removes the A channel in the RGBA (by multiplying the R/G/B by the A values) thereby speeding and making compatible with some GPUs/render pipelines.

  • Single frame of animated gif

    Is there a way to isolate a single frame of an animated gif, to send in an email?
    Can I use "Preview" to do this?

    Drag the GIF onto the QuickTime Player icon in the
    Dock; you can then go through the GIF until you find
    the frame you want, and take a screenshot of that
    frame with the Shift, Command, and 4 keyboard
    shortcut.
    (19745)
    Well, yes, I can make a screenshot, just from a frame from Preview, too. I was hoping that there would be a way to copy a frame directly from the gif.
    I'll just go with a screenshot for now.
    Thanks for replying.

  • How to add Friendly URLs in Weblogic Portal?

    Hi,
    We are developing a portal using Weblogic 10gR3. Right now the URL's that are getting formed are very long which includes the nfpb, nfls, pagelabel e.t.c. The requirement is to have a very user friendly url something like http://www.x.com/portal/<<pageLabel>>
    The Weblogic documentation mentions something about URL compression, however unable to apply it for dynamic URL's. We have URL's which are formed on the fly from the WLP Content Repository
    Is there some kind of servlet / filter provided within WLP. I read somewhere about an URLTransformationServlet. But there was no documentation on its usage. Can some one share a sample code snippet with me. That would be really really helpful, as we are having a slight time crunch here.
    Any kind of help on this will be deeply appreciated. Thanks

    WLProxy configuration falls under the weblogic server product hence you will have to raise an SR with that product to get any suggestions.
    Before that I would suggest you play around with the parameter I have suggested and see how it is impacting the url and then if there is any specific area you are stuck on check with the WLS team.
    Like I mentioned earlier, I do not know if this will completely meet your business requirement, but something you can look into.

    URLCompression servlet is the only option that weblogic portal provides out of the box to compress the URL of WLP. I understand this does not suite your requirement.
    The other option I can think of that can possibly help you achieve this is to configure any weblogic proxy plugin that you might be making use of, see the document
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15051_01/wls/docs103/plugins/plugin_params.html#wp1143055 look for PathTrim, PathPrepend

    Hi,
    Even thogh after implementing the below changes,still we are not able to get the result. " nfpb parameter is still existing in URL ".
    Implementing URL Compression :
    To configure a webapp to use url compression, follow these steps:
    1. Define the compression servlet in web.xml; for example
    <servlet>
    <servlet-name>UrlCompressionServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.bea.portlet.compression.UrlCompressionServlet
    </servlet-class>
    <init-param>
    <param-name>defaultPage</param-name>
    <param-value>/index.jsp</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
    <param-name>errorPage</param-name>
    <param-value>/errors/error.jsp</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
    2. Map the compression pattern; for example:
    <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>UrlCompressionServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>wlp.c</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    3. Add the token {url:compression} to the templates for which you want to apply compression.
    Please suggest on this ASAP.

  • Flex,rtmp & adding one frame on display - protection from stolen content - please help.

    Hello
    First of all I must say that I only owner not creator but I need help to give some hints for person who do all webdesing stuff for me becouse he is out of ideas now.
    Problem:
    I have website with movies displayed in flex and rtmp. Movies are not posible to download how ever people can still use simple screen recorder to catch them and then upload over web for free. Site is members acces to I lsot this way lots of posible memebers.
    My idea to prevent this is to add on movie til for example each 30second one frame on center of screen with actually displayed username and date (all users have their auername:password on my server). This way I can check this user in base found his mail and personally tell him that if any movie will be stolen again he meet my lawyer in reason of copyrights.
    Anyway we have no idea how to add this frame? Please provide me any hints or ideas to my programist found solution.
    Thank You

    One approach would be to create a third class which instantiates the password class and calls the appropriate methods, and then, if a valid password has been entered it would instantiate the chooser
