Animated gifs: How to transition (fade) 1 image over another

Fireworks noob, trying to make an animated gif in CS4, reading/experimenting for hours, searching FW help documentation, Youtube tutes, Google - can't find how to pull off this basic fade.
6 unique but same sz. jpgs in my .png (default FW worksheet doc), each a different "state" in the states palette. Got the basic timing down, all 6 pop up one after another, but I want transitions - #1 fades into #2, 2 into 3 etc. - possibly 3-4 step fade.
How?
Where are the other transitions/effects hidden?
Doesn't FW have some kind of animation timeline feature where you can click through frame by frame?
Ready to go back to Gifbuilder...
TIA!

Gif animations are for poster-like images. They don't work successfully with JPEGs because the file size ends up enormously large. The best program to use for whast you want to do is Flash. That said, Fireworks has an animation wizard that will fade images for you. Select an image and choose Modify > Symbol > Convert to Symbol. A dialog box will pop up enabling you to choose which type of symbol you wish to create. Choose Animation. From there, just follow the wizard. To fade one image over the other, you'll need to convert the images to symbols and animate them on different states (frames). Symbol 1 on state 1. Symbol 2 on state 10. Symbol 3 on state 20, for example.

How do i fade a video over another?

on imovie 11 how do i fade a viedo over another video?

To supplement Bengt's excellent advice, see the Apple Help article on "Add transitions between clips". Be sure to view the video (see the heading "Watch the movie"). Here's the link (the article and video also appear in the iMovie menu item "Help>iMovie Help"):

How do I superimpose one image over another

How do I super impose one image over another?

Open image A
Open image B
On image B, use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object which you wish to "superimpose"
Go to Edit menu>copy to put the object on the clipboard
Go back to image A
Go to Edit>paste. The object will be on its own layer
Get the move tool out of the toolbox, and position the object and resize, if indicated

Using an animated gif/other to display series of images within another image?

I design custom baseball cards for a hobby, and am wondering if I can use an animated GIF inset within a large photo to display a rotation of images.
It is easiest if you look at the "card"/image . . . within the circle, where there is a picture of Ruth holding some bats, I would like to add a series of several images that would rotate through (obviosuly the "card" would be for viewingonline rather than printing).
Is it possible to do? I am thinking an "animated gif" would be the easiest, but if there is some other way (video, etc.). I am open to that.
I just would like to know if the goal can be done, and if so, how to do it.
TIA!!!

That can be done with a gif. You just set up your bg image, then have a series of layers for your insert. Create a frame animation by opening it in Window>Timeline. Have all your insert layers except one turned off. Create a new frame, the turn on the next layer. Keep repeating creating a new frame and turning on a new layer. When you're done, you can set the time each frame displays. Save it using save for web using the gif option.

Placing one image over another

How can I place one image over another image in java?

Draw the bottom image first and then the top image. You would need to extend JComponent's paintComponent() method.

In Edge Animate, how do I fade an image in on mouseover?

In Edge Animate, how do I fade an image in on mouseover?
Thanks!

You can either make a symbol and use a transition in Animate and use play() and playReverse() on mouseenter and mouseleave or you could use animate() on the element for our mouse events.
fadeout
sym.$("elementName").animate({"opacity":0.00},3000);
fadein
sym.$("elementName").animate({"opacity":1.00},3000);

Animation. How do I import still images in final cut pro x (from dragon frame) duration 3 frames pr. image?

Animation. How do I import still images in final cut pro x (from dragon frame) duration 3 frames pr. image? We have allready tried to set stillimages duration in preferences to 0,08 sek, but it does not have any effect!

You can drag your images to the timeline, select all, ctrl-d and set the duration to 3 frames by typing 3 and enter.
Or you can use Quicktime 7 to "open image sequence", select the desired duration, export your animation to quicktime and import that into FCP X for further editing.

How do I copy one image onto another image?

How do I copy one image onto another image?

Lots of ways; Use the Place command to place a file in another. Open two files and drag one to the other's window tab, drag an image from bridge onto an open file. Open an image, press ctrl/cmd-A to select all, the ctrl/com-C to copy the image, the ctrl/cmd-V to paste it into another image.

And again - how do I superimpose an image over a moving image?

So I am beginning to work this all out...
I have cropped an image using motion which is looking great, except that the image (which is someone's head) is square because I used 'crop' in motion, any ideas how to make the edges curved?
The next step is working out how to keep the superimposed image over the head of the person in the video if they move? ie so it tracks the original image in movement?
Thank you all for your help so far, I never expected help like this so quickly!

Hard to follow you when you're creating new threads on the same topic...
First of all - don't use Motion to crop - that's easily done in FCP - if you want to follow the edges of the head, use the Mask tool in Motion.
Second, there's a video tutorial for using the tracking tools in Motion here:

Photoshop CS5, animated gif, how to add url to 1 frame.

I have created an animated gif in Photoshop CS5 and want to embed a url to one of the 3 frames.
How do I do this?
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.
The animated gif is for a website on a wordpress platform. When this particular frame is clicked, it should link to the url which I want to add.
Please help!
Thank you.

Whoops, sorry put this in the lightroom forum by mistake. Will post it in the PS CS5.

ImageReady...creating animated GIF, how do you change save settings?

I cant find an ImageReady forum, hope this will do for now...
Its been forever since I have used ImageReady and Im rusty again! I just created an animated GIF but want to lower the file size of it a little after it saves everything to GIF. Currently, the GIF is a little larger than I care for in filesize. Where are the settings to lower the quality and everything else for this?

Image Ready was discontinued with CS2? There are other ways to animate now, but just not in image ready, and it is not as easy.

How do I fade one frame into another?

In Flash pro 4 how do I fade out of one keyframe and fade into the next one with a slow transition? thanks.

Try this set alpha to 0. Move ahead 20 frames or how fast or slow you want it.Change the alpha to 100%.Then create motion tween in the button symbol and place the movie clip in the over state.
Then it should fade as the movie plays.You can implement it the way you want it.
Hope this helps
Good Luck!

How do I place an image over the header?

I am new to web design and new to Dreamweaver CS4. I have used 2 column template with header and footer. I have got a header title (an image) but I want to place an image to the left of it in the top left corner of the web page. I want the header region to be the height of the title as I want the image to have a greater height than the header area. When I insert the image it goes into the header region and the header automatically increases its height to fit the image. How can I overlay the image on the header rather than inserting it in the header? Any help would be appreciated.

Designing web pages is nothing like designing for print. To achieve what you want , you'll either need to create a special header image in Photoshop or Fireworks that contains white space and/or slices from surrounding images. Insert this new image into your header region.
Or, you could simply place image in the background using CSS. Then align your message text using CSS floats and margins. See demo below for an example.
