Animated Gif's Playing too slow

Lately since I installed leopard animated gif's are showing up on safari too slow and its not on one site its everywhere! And I need to see the real speed of what the gif is or else I won't know if its wrong or not. So what do I do?

Same problem here, very frustrating. The same thing also happens on my MacBook with Tiger. The longer the animated GIF is, the more it slows down. Here's a good example, fine in Firefox but not Safari: http://content.ytmnd.com/content/6/a/0/6a0e42120c9f9e24dfc3bfa353ccd114.gif
I submitted this as a Safari bug a while ago, I hope all of you will too.

Why are animated GIFs in Firefox 11 slow? I downgraded to Firefox 10 and the animated GIFs suddenly play fine again, so I am positive that the update messed up the playback delay of animated GIFs somewhere.

Self-explanatory. I am positive that the GIF I am viewing is faster than what it's supposed to be. I viewed the same animated GIF in another browser and it plays fine. It just plays slower in Firefox 11. I downgraded to Firefox 10 and the animated GIFs were fine again. I upgraded back to 11 and yet again the animated GIFs slowed down. This happens for all of my animated GIFs.
I like viewing my animated GIFs, and since I don't have any problems yet with Firefox 10, I'll be sticking with it for a while...

Yes I have exactly the same problem, and it has NOT been solved yet in Firefox 14. Please Mozilla, what is the use releasing more and more "major upgrades", Firefox 11, then 12, then 13, then 14 (one per month !) if you don't even care to fix the big problems ? That is just marketing crap, nothing more. You guys used to do amazing job, but the new policy is just unbearable, no offense meant : you need to react !

Animated gif only plays one time??

An animated gif created in Photoshop and exported with 'loop forever' output only loops once on my home page. I have not resized, cropped it or added any effects but as it plays once Muse can't have rasterized it.
I am using adobe muse cc 7.1 build 329, OSX 10.9
the lilly in the top left gif image should animate continuously. - jimmymcgilchrist.comhttp://www.jimmymcgilchrist.com/index.html
any assistance appreciated.

Hi DrStrik9,
Thanks, I just tried it directly in the browser and it works fine. When previewing in the finder window on my desktop it works fine as well.
I have had animated gifs working fine previously on the same muse site as a browser fill and as buttons.
Nothing has changed about the way I make the animation but these are some variables that have changed:
- update Operating System from OSX 10.8 to 10.9
- udate to current muse version
- switch from Godaddy - wordpress hosting to Adobe Business Catalyst
- upload via 'publish' within muse rather than via 'upload to FTP host' within muse.
Thanks,
Jimmy

Unable to create animated gifs, file size too large???

Hello,
I'm trying to create an animated gif and every time I save for web, select gif, and click on animate I receive an error stating that my file size is too big and I should remove layers. My animated gif is composed of 8 layers of jpegs, each originally about 1 MB. I've tried to reduce the image size by adjusting the ppi and also reducing the amount of layers to just 2 and I still get the same error.
Is there a way I can fix this so I can produce animated gifs, and is there a way you can know if it will work on not, before you try and save it?
Also, when I save the image I only have 1 layer visible, does that matter at all?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Something is very wrong here. The point behind using GIFs is that they are small and OK to put on a Web site.
First thing: forget all about PPI - this has absolutely no relevance to Web/screen images; it is only used for printing. You need to think about the pixel size.
So, how big in pixels are your starting images?
How big do you want the resulting GIF to be? Again, you have to decide in pixels, as the viewing size will depend upon screen resolution of the person looking at it. You can use a notional PPI of 70-100 to guess how big it will be in inches, but that's all it is - a guess.
Is this getting you going in the right direction?
I cannot resist commenting that I hate almost all animated GIFs as they reduce Web site usability so much.

An animated gif that plays on all devices

Hello again on gifs...
I am in PS CS4 on XP.
I created an animated gif. I was wondering if there was some way to make it work on all devices. Phones, MP3 players, computers (both mac & pc)...etc..
It looks great on my computer at work and at home, but not on my iPod. It does not play or show on my iPod. My boss checked on her computer said you have to click on the image for it to play (but I don't have to do that). It did not work on her BlackBerry either.
Just wondering if there is someway out there that the gif can work on all devices because it will be emailed out to a few people.
I see there is a device central within the program, but not sure about that. There seems to be a lot of types there, but I don't see BlackBerry? I'll check again. In the meantime, I thought I'd write this up to see if there was an answer.
Thank you.

It will not on my iPod....
Which one? Nano never has displayed GIFs, only JPEGs. Touch will display GIFs only in Safari and Mail and whtever custom apps you may have that use GIFs. That would be very much the same on iPad and iPhone, though those also can display PNGs outside of the browser. Similarly, Android devices can display JPEG, PNG and SVG natively, but GIFs are disabled/ forbidden on most of them and may only dispaly in the browser app. Dunno much about Symbian/ Meego/ Blackberry, but I would think that pretty much the same rules apply - said stuff being disabled to conserve battery power, for security reasons or not even dynamically loaded because of ad blocking...

RENTED MOVIE PLAYING TOO SLOW

hi All,
After several million hours (well 3.5) spent downloading a movie (Domestic Disturbance) I play it only to find it is playing very slow and the actions don't match the audio. It is really irritating and impossible to watch. I tried cleaning out my computer to free up space to no avail.
I then put the movie on my external hard drive to play on my other better laptop but when I opened it it would not let me play it saying it was authorized to play on another device...grr
Any advice anyone????

ANYONE?????

Slideshow plays too slow

In Settings-Photos I set "Play each slide for 2 seconds" but they are playing for 5 seconds. When I set it to 5 secs, they play for about 8. Is the transition adding 3 secs?!! I want to share photos with friends, and 5 seconds is way too long. I can't even turn the transition off.

If it makes you feel any better, I have the same problem. My audio is slow or sometimes I get music & no lurics (or on videos I get the background music & no dialog). I tinkered around once & got it fixed but now the problem has resurfaced. If there is an answer out there I'd love to hear it! (I have tried resetting)

Audio track in movie plays too slow

Only when I play it on my iPod touch after converting it like all of my other movies, the audio lags behind. But when I watch the converted file on my computer, it's up to speed. Any solutions? Both my iTunes and iOS are up to date. I have an iPod Touch 4G 32GB. And I use Xilisoft video converter. Thanks.

If the film has different audio options then you should get a speech bubble icon on the left-hand end playback controls on it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5562

Slow animated gif export

How do i stop my animated gifs from coming out slower than i
created them? I think it's coming out as 12fps no matter what frame
rate i set it to. The only way i can see to do it (the very, very
hard way) is to have half as many frames, which is a big process to
go and take half of the frames out from each section.
So what's the trick?

The trick is to work in 12 fps. That is Gif speed and you
can't bust
it's playback.

How do you configure a button to play an animated gif in adobe flash

this is an assignment for a web design class i am currently taking. the teacher provided this code for us:
function BlueplayMovie(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndPlay("mighty");
blue_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, BlueplayMovie);
[where "mighty" is the name of a sample animated gif he made in class, and blue_btn is the name of his button]
i substituted the name of my animated gif for "mighty" and i also substituted the name of my button for "blue_btn", however when i test it, the button does not do anything.
i think it could be due to the fact that the code says function BlueplayMovie in the beginning, and then again at the end. I don't know what that is, or what it means. i probably have to change that to something,
does anyone have any ideas as to what i could do??
THANKS!!!

Animated gif files play on their own, you do not command them to play. Look up the gotoAndPlay() function in the help documentation and maybe that will give you some idea of what you need to do around the code provided to have it make sense for the assignment. For someone to give you the answer here is pretty much along the lines of cheating on your assignment.

Why doesn't animated GIF play?

I have made 2 animated Gifs one plays fine the other doesn't. When I preview in Safari all that shows is the full image and nothing happens.
It runs fine in the timeline but in save-for-web the play buttons are greyed out and all I see is the full composite image. 3 of the layers have drop shadows but I don't think that is the reason. Any ideas?

Yes GIF is selected. I have now found that it works converting it to frames. But not sure why the other one works not converting to frames. Should they always be converted to frames?

Firefox slows down when opening a site with animated gifs

After updating to FF4, I find that whenever I try to open a page that has multiple animated gifs on it, firefox slows down tremendously. CPU usage goes up to 50-75% and all animated gifs are moving really slow.
It's not only large animated gifs, but it also occurs on forums that have animated smilies. I never had this problem in FF 3.6 nor any other browser (IE, Chrome, Safari). If I start FF4.0 without any add-ons or plugins it does the same thing. Even with a fresh install. Does anyone have a solution to his problem? Since I can't use some of my favorite sites now with FF, without my pc slowing everything down.

Disabling the hardware acceleration worked for me!

Playing animated GIFs with NetBeans

Well for our Computer Science class we have to make a game.
For our title screen we wanted an animated GIF to play.
I made the animated GIF with Gimp and I am using the NetBeans IDE (I am using the GUI Builder)
I have tried using the image as a JLabel but it didn't work.
I just need it to play the GIF.
Thanks.

Ok sorry I should have posted some code.
Also I got it to work. But I now have a new question.
How do you loop the animation?
Is it possible to layer a JButton on top of the GIF?
And also is it possible to make this part of the code relative?
Like can you make it where it looks through the entire file without a specific path.
AndroidGIF.setIcon(new ImageIcon("C:\\Users\\***********\\Desktop\\android2.gif"));Here is the rest of my code.
import javax.swing.*;
class GIFTest extends JFrame
    JLabel AndroidGIF = new JLabel();
    public GIFTest()
        setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        AndroidGIF.setIcon(new ImageIcon("C:\\Users\\********\\Desktop\\android2.gif"));
        GroupLayout layout = new GroupLayout(getContentPane());
        getContentPane().setLayout(layout);
        layout.setHorizontalGroup(
            layout.createParallelGroup(GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING)
            .addGroup(layout.createSequentialGroup()
                .addGap(27, 27, 27)
                .addComponent(AndroidGIF)
                .addContainerGap(41, Short.MAX_VALUE))
        layout.setVerticalGroup(
            layout.createParallelGroup(GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING)
            .addGroup(layout.createSequentialGroup()
                .addGap(32, 32, 32)
                .addComponent(AndroidGIF)
                .addContainerGap(46, Short.MAX_VALUE))
        pack();
         public static void main(String args[])
            new GIFTest().setVisible(true);
}Note that I bleeped out the name of the computer due to privacy.

Problam with animated gif in ImageIcon

hello, i'm using ImageIcons to insert animated gifs to my TextPane (using the insertIcon method). anyway for some reason the animated rate changes sometimes its too fast, sometimes too slow. how do i make sure the animated gifs wil "play" in the correct rate?

If you only want the center region to be animated, you need to splice it out to its separate file and re-assemble the whole shebang later
Or you could just change the center part and export the whole thing as an animated gif. If you have 3 frames and you only want the center piece to change, leave the background on all 3 frames but have a different center on each of the frames. Whole thing will be animated but will only look like the middle is changing.

Animated gif in mail are not visible after upgrade to mavericks

Hi,
I use a animated gif in my signature in mail. This gif was playing normally (like a animated gif) in mountain lion when I writes a new message. After upgrading to mavericks I can't see the animated gif playing. I just see the first frame. However when I send a mail to my iPad using iOS 7 the animated gif is playing normally.
Thanx for every answer!

I'm having this issue as well — I can no longer send animated gifs in Mail with Mavericks (10.9.0). The image retains its full image size and remains a gif format, but does not play, just sits static. This also affects forwarding animated gifs — which play fine in the mail window — they are static in the compose window and are sent static.
