Animated GIF Doesn't Play To The End

I've created a simple animated GIF in Photoshop CS6, eight seconds long, 30fps.
I have several layers that fade out at and then more layers that fade IN at four seconds. It plays perfectly in Photoshop, but a rendered GIF doesn't play entirely to the end - it stops prematurely.
How do I fix this? I've tried the animated GIF in a browser and it does the same thing in a PPT slide.
Anyone?
Thanks.

Thank you, Nancy.
I just reduced my project file down to 15fps and three seconds long. Testing the animation in the Save for Web dialogue box I see that it still won't play to the end. The fade-in stops before it's at 100% opacity.
The rendered GIF file size would be 242k. I HAVE to use Save for Web, as Save As will discard hidden layers and animations.
Still can't figure out what causes this, and I've had this happen to me before. (I bet I wouldn't have this problem rendering out of After Effects.)

Can I get audio to play til the end, even if I turn the page?

I know how to add a quicktime audio file, but once you turn to the next page, the audio file stops. Is there a way to set the audio to play til the end regardless of how many pages you turn? Or would I have to split up the audio and have the user play it on each page they turn to?
Are there any options for the audio player interface? Or would I have to resort to using a widget?

I've just bought the enhanced edition of The Story of Naxos, and was intrigued to see that the embedded audio files do continue playing after the page has been turned. So it's clearly something that iBooks itself is capable of handling, even if iBooks Author doesn't cater for it - and I've also submitted a feature request pointing this out.
And with regard to the "superfluous" comment, it depends entirely on the nature of the project. The one I've postponed until this feature is introduced involves recordings of Schubert songs that are supposed to be playable over the original German lyrics, an English translation, a musicological analysis and a facsimile of the score - the idea being that you can listen to the complete song while exploring various aspects of it. But it's impossible to fit all this material onto one page, and even reading it in portrait mode doesn't work, as the music stops playing as soon as the embedded images from the score appear.

I want to create an external video widget with iAd. I followed the steps and copied the Url and paste it in the Video pop-up menu in the Properties section of the inspector. When i select 'preview' the video doesn't play and the Url that i pasted is gone.

hope someone can help!

May have something to do with whether or not the URL can be reached while building your widget. I've got a video on the web. When I enter the URL into the field for the video object and click to another field, the URL is replaced with some text indicating that it is accessing the video then updates itself to displaying just the name of the video file.
It shows just fine in preview and I can see the full path to the video when I export the widget so it should work for you.
Is the video accessible from your Mac while you're laying out your widget?

Songs will not play to the end on only one of my computers

Some of the songs in my library will not play to the end. However, I have come to realize this is only happening on one of my computers. The computer I sync with. The same songs will play on my laptop and iPad. ??? What gives?

Just in case, check to see if "Crossfade songs" has been checked in your Playback preferences in iTunes. Here's a screenshot showing where to find it:
If it is checked, try unchecking it and click OK.

A couple of months ago, I went to the Apple Store to try and sort this problem out. I was told that I was not playing my songs out of an actual music library. I created a library and loaded all of my songs, movies, etc. onto it. I had found that when I synced my songs from the new library onto my itouch, the songs no longer stopped in odd spots or bled into each other. To ensure that most of my songs had been fixed, I played the ones that were the most problematic. Fortunately, the songs play all the way through without any interruption. So far, I have not encountered the same problems that I had posted in my question. I apologize for not knowing the fellow's name who helped me with my iTouch at the Apple Store, but I would like to say how thankful and happy I am now that my iTouch no longer skips to the next song.
I know that other people have had this same issue with their iPods. If you encounter your music not playing correctly, I would suggest that making a new library and loading all of your music into the new one may help correct the problem. I hope that this helps.

TS3297 I bought an album, two of the twelve songs play about half the way through, then stop, and then the next song in line starts playing. How do I get the songs downloaded so they play to the end?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

You have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:

My computer was rebuilt this week and I am in the process of setting up iTunes and have a weird setup issue. The music in my playlists plays but the same song doesn't play from the library. Initially, I opened ITunes while holding down Shift of control.

My computer was rebuilt this week and I am in the process of setting up iTunes and have a weird setup issue. The music in my playlists plays but the same song doesn't play from the library. Initially, I opened ITunes while holding down Shift of control key.

Scratch the post above - the musics that plays in the playlist also plays in the library and that is because i forgot that i imported from the cd yesterday. Basically, I see the rest of my music, but it doesnt' play and tells me it can't locate the file though the location in 'perferences' points to the correct location. Getting iTunes to play after a new computer or rebuild is a headache.

My music doesn't play in the order it's supposed to.

My music doesn't play in the order its supposed to. The songs are listed in the correct order in the playlist and when I choose the first song in my playlist, it plays, but then every song after that is played randomly. Its like its shuffling. How do I fix this?

Animated GIF doesn't work against dark backgrounds in HTML

I've created an animated GIF in Photoshop, exported it for web with transparency, and placed it in my HTML code. It doesn't work against the dark background on my page. However, when I open the image in a new browser tab, voila, the animation works precisely as it should.
Why is the background affecting the animation and how can I work around this?

Hello Frank,
problem is solved.
I have installed IE7 on a Windows 2003 Server Edition and used remote desktop client to test the application.
It seems that either a setting on W2003 or the remote desktop client avoid to see the animation.
On locally installed IE7 animated gif's works fine.

Animated GIF Doesn't Work At All

I am a Web developer. My client has provided us with an animated GIF image for their landing page. This GIF runs fine on every browser except Safari. On Safari, the GIF never animates; it just stays on the opening frame and looks stupid.
This happens on all Macs running OS X and Safari 2.x as well as Beta 3.
I search here and on the Internet and find nobody reporting this issue, but it sure feels like a Safari-specific problem.

Aha! Nice catch. I saw that extension anomaly, too, Kirk, but since the page code doesn't allow one to easily view what's going on behind the scenes, I wondered if the JPEG might be behind or in front of the actual animated GIF and didn't look further. But downloading the "JPEG" and loading it in Safari 3 shows that it is, indeed, the animated GIF... with the incorrect extension.
Yes, I would think being labeled a JPEG is the problem. Safari 2 is probably being stubborn and assuming that since it is supposed to be a JPEG, it can't animate.
(A page with so little actual HTML or text has to be terribly inaccessible and is probably a problem in terms of search engine optimization as well. Just guesses since I don't work in SEO myself, but worth considering.)

Flash CS4: My animated gif isn't playing right in flash

Thank you so much for your help.
I made an animated gif in Photoshop CS4 and opened it in Flash CS4, but for some reason the gif won't play without interruption. I opened and played it without a problem several times in Internet Explorer and Safari, but when I open it in Flash or Captivate it won't play so smoothely. It goes blank for a few seconds, then reappears, then goes blank and only shows parts of the graphic - as if it's reloading or something. The timeline in Flash shows black dots whenever it pauses. here is a screen shot:
See those black dots in the timeline? I will insert a picture of what happens on one of those black dots:
It's the same animation, but only shows a little of the graphic. Like I said, it plays fine when I open it with an internet browser, or photoshop, but not in Flash or Captivate.
Thanks so much for helping me with this!

When you exported from Photoshop did you use LZW compression on the GIF? If so can you try disabling LZW compression and reimporting to see if your issue goes away? What you depict there looks like updated frames only contain the part of the picture that's changing, which is compression. GIF isn't compressed by nature and each frame should be a whole picture, unless compressed. I'm not certain LZW would even perform spatinal compression but it's worth a shot to see if it does.
Aside that have you tried using Import to Library, then dragging the image from the library into the timeline?

Scene selection will not play to the end! help needed

Hi
I am using Encore CS5 and my DVD is a DUAL LAYER
I have created a DVD of a dance show. I have a PLAY ALL button that plays the full show but on the timeline I have created CHAPTER POINTS for each dance.
On a SUB MENU I have created a dance selection menu, the buttons on this menu point to CHAPTER PLAYLISTS that I have created, so for example I have 18 dances and I have created 18 CHAPTER PLAYLISTS with each one having every dance in it. I have applied end actions to every playlist to go back to the previous menu. When I preview the DVD in Encore the dance selection works fine, it plays that dance and goes back to the previous menu.
The problem I have is when I have created the image and watch it with VLC player or I burn it to a DVD some of the dance selections only play about 10 secs and not the full dance and then it will apply the end action and go back to the previous menu. This is extremely frustrating!!!!!!!!
Has any one experienced anything similar or have any idea why this is happening.
Thanks!

CHAPTER PLAYLISTS that I have created, so for example I have 18 dances and I have created 18 CHAPTER PLAYLISTS with each one having every dance in it. I have applied end actions to every playlist to go back to the previous menu.
From the rest of what you said, I assume you mean that each chapter playlist includes ONLY ONE dance in it. If you mean what you said in this sentence, you want only one dance in each chapter playlist.
Make sure that you have no end actions on any chapters. While you are looking at that, make sure that you have no overrides anywhere in the project. It doesn't matter whether you are sure you did not add any. There is the inadvertant click, and I have had Encore add chapter end actions when working with its timeline.
If all is as it should be, burn a test disk, and confirm you see the problem from a DVD player. I find VLC a great test option, but it does not handle slideshows, so I'd test beyond it.

ID CS3 - text wrap doesn't work at the end of a long multi-columned text frame

Did a search - don't think this specific issue has been addressed:
We design large graphics often used on walls. When working with a text frame that that was 11 feet long and had 8 columns, text wrap would not work on an image placed in the last column. The same image with the same text wrap applied will work fine anywhere else in the text frame. I found that if I shortened the width of the text frame a little bit at a time eventually it would work, but there doesn't seem to be a specific cut-off width - sometimes the last column won't text wrap when the frame is 115 inches wide and sometimes it doesn't work when the frame is only 80 inches wide. Again, all of the other columns work fine. I have tried all of the obvious stuff, the only variable between the columns that wrap and the one that doesn't is it's position at the end of the text frame.
We have gotten around this issue by using multiple threaded frames instead of one long frame with multiple columns, but I am curious if anyone else has run into this or might know what the issue is.
thanks
