Animated gif issue in IE - files posted

Hi Linda (and others who would like to check this out),
I have posted the files I got from work.
They are at:
http://www.fayec.com/pngtest/animated3.png
http://www.fayec.com/pngtest/animated3.gif
You will see that the gif image plays perfectly in Mozilla
but has the
leftover slice to the right on IE.
The PNG will show that the slize is the same size as the
canvas so no
left space for that pixel to creep in.....
I truly don't understand that one.....
Thanks for any help,
FayeC

I don't know why IE will not behave but I found a way to make
it play nice.
On frame 2 create a rectangle that is the same size as the
image, give
it a fill of none and a border of 1 pixel, Hard Line, and
color of
#333333. If you make it totally black IE will misbehave.

Animated gif's from unsaved file?

I used to be able to create animated gif's easily from unsaved files. I would simply select all the layers I wanted to use and process them.
After upgrading to CS6, I'm totally lost. I've followed half a dozen tutorials, but nothing works. The only way I can even load a frame into the Windows Timeline feature is to first save several images from my unsaved file, then reload them by choosing File > Scripts > Load Files into Stacks. But even then I can't find a Make Frames from Layers option when I click the down arrow on the right side of the palette.
Is there a simple way to create animated gif's from layers in an unsaved file on CS6, or do I need to reinstall my older Photoshop version in order to created animations?
Thanks.

Yes, I clicked Frame Animation Mode, but that's as far as I can get. It doesn't work the same as my older version of Photoshop. The only buttons that appear to function on the left side of the palette are "Split at playhead" and "Select a transition," and they actually don't do anything.
The tutorials tell me to click the down arrow on the right side of the palette and choose "Make Frames from Layers," but that choice isn't listed. The choices that are listed include "Loop Playback" and "Allow Frame Skipping."
I've tried several tutorials and have experimented with just about every button and arrow I can find, but I can't get any farther than the image you posted.

Non-looping animated gif issue....

Hi, I have an issue with animated gif files where they do not replay correctly when I return to the slide that contains them. They play fine the first time viewed, but not if you return to it. It seems the only way I'm able to keep the gif playing is if I set it to endlessly loop. And if I do that, the animation doesn't start from the beginning when I return to the slide. I just want the animation to start over and play from the beginning once every time I go back to the slide.
My animations were made in Flash and exported as gif animations. I'm using Captivate 7 and my client needs the course to be all HTML5 (no Flash).
Has anyone been able to get a animated gif (not set to loop) to play correctly (meaning from the beginning of it) if you return to the slide after viewing it already?
Thanks,
Dan

Hey Rick, thanks for your reply. I liked you idea and had hope, but I tried this and it had no effect. What I have figured out from testing however is that if I go back 1 to 5 slides and return to the animation slide it doesn't reset and just shows the last slide of the animation only. But if I go back 6 or more it does reset the animation. That's very strange! I tested this several times and got the same result. I wonder if there is a buffer of memory of some sort that drops slide info after 5 slides? Or something stranger?

Animated .GIF Issue Need Help

I made an animated gif with a transparent background, saved it for the web with the best quality settings I know of, and the image gets this weird white outline around it. Here's what it looks like on grey background so you can actually see the issue I'm having: http://imgur.com/ujKBJDu
at first I thought it was an anti alias issue with my crappy laptop, but then when I exported it on a high end gaming pc it looked exactly the same. Anyway I need to export this and not end up with this issue so any help is appreciated.

When it comes to gif, there is no anti-aliasing. As the transparency has only one shade of grey. The white line is residual from a white background.

Animated gif issue in IE

I use Fireworks MX 2004 at work to create animated banners
and I have
come across a problem that I hadn't seen before.
When I create the animated gif in Fireworks the gif displays
perfectly
in Netscape, Mozilla, etc but in IE it has a 1 px slice left
from the
first frame on the other frames.
I tried moving the slice, slicing again, etc to no avail...
I had to use ImageReady to create the animation again using
the
exported gifs from each frame to make it display correctly in
IE.
Has anybody come across this problem and has anybody found a
solution?
Thanks,
FayeC

Never seen anything like this before. Try to fiddle with
"Auto Crop" and
"Auto Difference" options in "Export Preview". For me, FW
always did
difference perfectly but who knows, maybe the source of the
problem is
here somewhere.

IE 8 Animated Gif Issue

I've run into an interesting problem and wonder if anyone has an answer for me. I have created an animted gif of a banner ad in photoshop with 3 frames. The banner has been previewed in FF, Safari, and IE 8. For some reason in the IE 8 version the text in the animation seem to be carrying over into the next frame. Almost as if the 1st frame is being ghosted/artifacts into the second frame and so on.
This banner also has been modified to different size and these all work correctly in IE 8 and do not have this ghosting issue. Im trying to figure out if its something I may have changed in Photoshop or its an IE 8 issue. Does anyone else see this issue in IE 8. I can't seem to find a solution.
If anyone has IE 8 can you let me know if you see the same results?

This being the Photoshop Macintosh forum, I doubt many users here have IE8, which does not exist for the Mac as far as I know.

Is there a way to save my animated gif as a .mov file?

I knew you could do something like that in regular Photoshop, but I can't find a way to do it in Elements.

No; animation is quite limited in Elements. CS5, Premiere Pro/After Effects are the tools of choice for graphic designers and VJ's.

I would like to convert an animated Gif to .mov, will Quicktime Pro 7 do this? Should I spend the money?

Hi everyone.
I'm looking to put a few animations onto keynote and I'm making my presentation on PowerPoint.
I need to convert an animated gif into a .mov file and was wondering whether Quicktime Pro 7 does this?
Thanks

I need to convert an animated gif into a .mov file and was wondering whether Quicktime Pro 7 does this?
Since it appears QTKirk has provided the best answer for your specific work flow issue as stated, I will answer your more general question...
Yes, QT 7 Pro can open an animated GIF file and save it as an MOV file. At this time the real question is whether or not the MOV file produced is suitable for your needs. Basically the MOV file can be then then be played—but it only plays one pass in the normal playback mode. You can, of course opt to loop the playback which, for a small files, plays much as the original GIF.
Unfortunately, the "Loop" setting is not saved when the MOV file is saved, so this option must be re-initialized each time the MOV file is opened. This would not be a problem if all you are doing is openening the file in the QT 7 player and letting it play in the looped mode all day as some sort of display but would likely be an unsatisfoactory solution for sending the MOV file to someone else. You could, of course, turn the MOV file into a QTL file with the loop option set to get around this problem.
While I would be hard pressed to say it would be a good investment just for the creation of GIF movie files, QT 7 Pro does offer a lot of other features that make it a bargain utility for many quick edit requirements if you use/need them.

Animated GIF. problems in Captivate

I have been trying to bring in an Animated GIF. into my
Captivate presentation.
When I import the animation using Insert> Animation it
converts the animated gif to a swf file.
In the preview screen it shows my animated gif with multiple
colors flashing over and over. It is doing this to all of the
animated gifs that I am bringing in. My fps is set to 10 within
Captivate.
Is there frame restrictions or file size restrictions that is
causing this error when bringing in an animated gif. Any
suggestions?

Hi mikeygilbert23_nap and welcome to our community
Unfortunately, there are a few different methods used to
create animated .GIFs. One would think all of them would be created
simply using different images. Largely this is true. But some
animation programs allow you to choose different methods for the
way the screen is painted between frames. Sounds like you may be
seeing this behavior.
Not sure what to advise as to how to work past it though.
Sorry. Hopefully one of the others has a clue.
Cheers... Rick

How to make my 'preload' animated gif to repeat?

I have my 'preload' animated gif in my psd file.
When I go to play it, it only plays the frames once.
How do I make it repeat and not stop?
I am using Photoshop CS5.

Actually, you can. There is a Looping Option that you can set.. either ONCE or FOREVER.
Just FYI.
Thanks though.

How do you make an animated gif activate when a corresponding button is selected?

I am working on a DVD menu using Photoshop and Encore. I currently have a map as a background and a gif animation of a radar ping. The radar ping has transparent parts so that it shows up in front of the map it will be placed on. I want the radar ping gif to animate when it is selected, but I cannot make it animate. When I tried to place the animated gif into the DVD, it became a static image with 50 layers, instead of an animation with 50 frames. When I replaced the gif with a static image, it still caused problems because when I made it into one of the button's highlights, the button overlapped the other buttons, causing those to highlight as well.
Summary: Ideally, I want to add various gifs that will activate when the corresponding menu/chapter buttons are selected.
Failing that, I would be happy just to know how to add an animated gif to my DVD menu background.

You have two problems. The first is that an animated gif has no special status in DVD authoring. It is an anmiation. How do you get animations into a DVD project? You import them as movies - either as assets that get puit on timelines, or assets that become part of a motion background.
Yes, Encore has a special feature of making animated thumbnails, but this is just a fancy way of putting thumbnail-sized bits of video into a video background of a menu.
I think you resolve the animated gif issue if you convert it to a video format Encore understands.
http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/using/importing-assets.html#supported_file_formats_for_impor t
The second issue is that you want a button highlight to be an animation. Also not part of the DVD spec or what Encore will do. You can fake this, by having a button autoactivate and to go to a different menu that has the animation for that button as part of the background. You create as many menus as you have buttons with that characteristic.
Note that a mouseover won't autoactivate, so this doesn't work on a computer the way solme users would like.
Scripting is a way some authoring applications can handle such things, but Encore does not provide scripting.

Why doesn't Preview.app show me animated .gifs?

I made an animated .gif with Macromedia Fireworks and it opens up perfect on a Windows Platform. But on my MacBook only the first frame opens and stays still as a single image.
Once I open the .gif, in the Preview's Drawer, it shows me all of the single images that are supposed to be seen continously as an animation. But I repeat, no animation is played back.
Help please, thank you.

This is from the preview help document. What you are seeing is what is described for preview.
Viewing animated GIFs
An animated GIF is a graphic file that shows a short animation. Preview lets you look at each frame in the animation as an individual still image.
Open the animated GIF file in Preview.
If the window's drawer isn't already visible, choose View > Drawer.
The drawer contains a thumbnail image for the animated GIF. The number of frames in the animation appears in the lower-right corner.
Click the triangle beside the thumbnail image.
Preview shows all the frames in the animated GIF. When you click a frame, the animation stops and Preview displays that frame.

Will there ever be a fix for Animated Gifs OS 10.5.8

I realize this extremely stupid bug which has/had been around for many years was apparently fixed in 10.6, but that upgrade is simply not an option for me (as, 10.6 will not install on this machine.)
the problem is very well known (and many years old): loading a simple animated gif, even very small files, causes Safari to beachball while the gif is downloading (this can take over a minute even for a file under 250k). it should be almost instant (like it is in Firefox)
this was never a problem using older OS and older versions of Safari (even very large animated gifs loaded very quickly and did not affect system performance.)
this problem does not exist (and never did exist) in Firefox. i can load animated gif as expected, and very quickly under firefox.
why did apple refuse to fix this? why do they continue to refuse? it worked fine, and then apple broke it. and it seems like they are leaving it broken on purpose.

HI,
Empty the Safari Cache from the Safari Menu Bar more often.
Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.

CS3 Animated GIFs display incorrectly in browsers.

I am having trouble getting animated GIFs to display correctly in web browsers. When I view the file in a browser, any browser, it displays extremely fast. I have tried exported the file as an animated gif from a slice, exporting as an animated gif, and saving the file (Save As) as an animated gif.
No matter what I have the frame rate set to in Fireworks it displays the same in browsers.
Anyone have any ideas on how to overcome this?
Thanks in advance.

Change the Frame or State delay to a higher number in the Frame or State Panel.

Attaching hyperlink to animated gifs

Has anyone been successful with attaching a hyperlink to an animated gif? I'm new to all this and I'm not even sure if this is possible (but it seems reasonable to me). I can drag and drop the animated gif into iWeb, but then the option to make it a hyperlink is not available.
http://web.mac.com/jwtseng/

I'm having the same problem. I've tried converting a standard animated gif into a .swf file via GraphicConverter and inserting the .swf into iWeb. But that doesn't work. Also, iWeb adds the QT controller to the bottom of the image, which I don't want to see. Does anybody know how to turn that off too?
Thanks.
