Animated GIFs in Aperture plug-in?

I have searched already but the closest thing I found was an article dating back to 2010, which nobody replied to. I like GIFs and I like animated GIFs, I think it's a guilty secret/passion for a lot more than people realise (maybe even aPNG too??) so why doens't Aperture support them, well, who knows, but surely there should be a plug-in for it?
If so, does anybody know?
Thanks.

*note: once PDFs are imported their subsequent pages cannot be viewed, which is a similar issue
Not true if you drag a pdf file onto the Aperture icon you will be presented with this window
If you convert the PDF doc into JPG (or TIFF) you'll get one image per page. If you keep it as a PDF then you are limited to seeing the first page (though the entire document is in Aperture).

Opening animated gif in PSE 8 for Mac

I am switching from PSE for PC to PSE 8 for Mac.
I have always been able to open animated gif as layers and work with them, then resave as an updated animated gif.
WIth PSE 8 for Mac, I get a pop up that the file is animated and can only see the top frame. Any ideas on how to open up all of the frames in layers?

Do I need to enable this process for my Mac? Maybe I'm missing a plug-in or update?
I have been opening these files from others, tweeking and resaving for almost 2 years in PSE. It definitely will not shuffle the individual panels on an animated gif into the layers box.
My tweeking usually involves adjusting frame speed. Is that what you mean by 'frame rate'?
Thank you for your help.

Photoshop elements 10 animated gifs show one layer only

I don't like this new version of photoshop elements (photoshop elements 10). When I try to edit an animated gif file, it says I can only view one layer and the rest will be lost. Why is this?

Known issue. This is actually because Photoshop CSx used a GIF plug-in that didn't support opening GIF files as layers. That same plug-in was sent over to PSE in version 9. You can get the plug-in from earlier versions to fix this:

Animated .gif in HTML article won't upload

Hello!
I have an article built with HTML; although largeish and complicated (js, video, blah blah blah), it imports from the Folio panel just fine.....until I put the animated .gifs back into the layout.
With animated .gifs, the folio panel spins (slowly) at the "building" bar, runs the CPU load up to 50%, and never ever does anything else. (I've left it overnight even.) The web Folio Producer will show an article with an alert: "Corrupt layout. Delete and try adding article again."
I've made a stripped-down HTML page with a single .gif and it fails just as hard.
Anyone else noticing this? How do we get this to work? Expensive project is on deadline...
Thanks!!
-Miriam

Please share the folio with [email protected] and let me know what page within what article is causing the crash. I also need to know what version of InDesign is being used, OS and version, what version of the FOlio Builder panel and if you are on CS5 or CS5.5 what version of the digital publishing plug in.

How Do I Change an Animated Gif's Iteration and Loop Settings? (Pshop/Image Ready 7.0)

Background to Issue (NOT a PPT or Windows issue even though It will seem like that at first but read on...): I have to make Animated GIFS to be inserted into Powerpoint. I work on a Mac but the PPT presentation will be shown on PCs (non-negotiable, since I can't ask hundreds of sales reps who will be using this to install an outdated version of PPT). I already learned that I need to insert the Gifs while working on a PC or else it won't work). Fair enough- I can put it together on a PC, again not the issue. BUT, when I do THAT, the gifs still wn't animate unless I am in PPT 2002. Fair enough (Microsif going backwards not a surprise) So it won't work in PPT 2003 which is what the users will all have. But I need to get the presentation to them asap! I got a bit further in researching and found out that the solution is that I need to set my "Loop Flag" and "Iteration Settings" appropriately. See this link (http://www.soniacoleman.com/Tutorials/PowerPoint/animated_gifs/gifs.htm)
BUT I am trying to find out if one can do this already somehow in Mac Photoshop 7.0 or Mac Image Ready 7.0, where I made the gif and would prefer to keep making my gifs. Maybe I need to upgrade Image Ready or Pshop to CS? SO THE FINAL QUESTION IS: Is there another way to manual do this without this PC Plug-in?
NOTE: Yes, I know how how to set the loop to "once" or "forever" in Image Ready when I make my Gifs but apparently I need to do this somewhere else...where the iteration setting lives too?

There is an ImageAnimator so you may not need to use byte array instead.

Animated GIF plugin for QT Pro (Windows version)

I have QuickTime Pro for Windows and I would like to know if there is a plugin to convert/export MOV files into Animated GIF files. I thought that there used to be a feature like this in a previous version of QuickTime Pro.

QuickTime can be used to open and play .gif files. No plug-in required.
QuickTime Pro can save them as .mov files and they can be added to other QuickTime formats as independent "tracks".

How to turn an animated .gif into a hyperlink

Hey everyone,
Im new to the forums and dreamweaver. I created an animated .gif file in photoshop that i want to use as an advertisement banner on a website. Now that the banner is created (on photoshop), I would like to turn the whole image into a link so that when someone clicks on it, it will redirect them to another website. How do I do this in dreamweaver??
Any help is greatly appreciated!

is JQ iweb compatible?
jQuery is a very popular JavaScript library with which you can bring interactivity into web pages. I know almost nothing about iWeb except that it is consumer level software for non-coders. That said, if you can access the source code (HTML and CSS), you should be able to use jQuery plug-ins in your web pages.
jQuery Cycle Plug-in (click on examples, view source in browser to see the code).

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.

Animated gifs are grainy problem

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make my
animated gifs look great from flash. I have exported the layered
psd files as pngs, jogs, gifs, bitmaps, you name, I have done it,
BUT to no avail. Someone please help me, why can't the websites
just plug in my .swf files, they look awesome, yeah a little
larger. I would design in another program, but the client needs
each frame to click to a different URL. What am I doing wrong? It
looks like a color issue?

Use Fireworks......That's where the functionality from
ImageReady went...for the .gif file format.If you would like the
trial should be available by the end of next month....Beta is done
I think.One the .gif is created, import into Flash.

Open and edit animated .gif while preserving frame timing

CS4 Premium Design Edition, Win XP
I was disappointed with the removal of Image Ready from CS3 because although some of the functionality was placed into Photoshop 10, there was no way to open and edit an existing animated .gif while preserving the timing of each individual frame. I was told on the PS forum at the time that I really needed to use Fireworks. I resented that, because I was very happy with Image Ready and I didn't want to have to learn a new application just to gain functionality that had been included in previous versions of PS/IM.
I've now got CS4 Premium Design Edition which of course includs Fireworks... and here's what Help has to say on the subject of imported .gifs.
"Note: When you import an animated GIF, the state delay setting defaults to 0.07 seconds. If necessary, use the States panel to restore the original timing."
This is no use to me. What if I don't know the individual frame timings? What if there are 200 frames with varying timings?
Simple question: which current Adobe product is capable of importing a .gif while retaining the frame timings? If anyone knows, or if I've misunderstood the nature of the Fireworks Help quote above, I'd really appreciate some input here. Thanks :)
Not so simple question: why was an excellent gif-editing application thrown out to have its functionality partially replaced by a bunch of scripts and half-effective workarounds cooked up by desperate users ("import a gif by using the video import and typing *.* into the filename box..")? It's a fair question I think.
Mark

Hi Bob, that's not glib at all, it's a reasonable question.
I uninstalled it along with everything else when I installed CS3, in the reasonable expectation that whatever replaced IR would be at least equal in functionality.
Perhaps I should just dig out CS2 and install IM from there, but I have some serious reservations about doing so, because I don't know if/how a partial install of CS2 will impact upon my installation of CS4, and I'm not confident of getting support.
I am also curious to know if/why Adobe actually removed basic functionality without replicating or replacing it in their other software. I really want to know: which recent, currently supported Adobe product
should I be using in order to regain this functionality? Or do Adobe no longer produce a geniuinely comprehensive .gif-editing application?

Animated GIF ignoring frame timing

I am trying to create simple animated GIFs with a few layers
of text that simply fade in and fade out in sequence. My initial
attempt worked perfectly. Most frames use the default 7/100's of a
second delay as they fade. A few frames were manually set to much
longer delays so that the text pauses, before fading out to be
replaced by the next text.
When I reopened the file, to adjust the background color, and
then re-saved it, the GIF now plays straight through, ignoring the
timing of each frame. Nothing I do now can get it to pause on the
appropriate frames. I've tried cutting the symbols out and pasting
them into a new file, removing the animation from the symbols and
reapplying it, etc.
Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks in advance.

None, None.

Edit animated gif

Hi,
How can I edit an animated gif in Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac?
When I open the file there is just the first frame in one layer - no other layers available.
Thanks!

Thanks Barbara!
Barbara B. wrote:
... then bring it to PSE.
I can't drag the single frames from Preview to PSE, because PSE 6 doesn't run in window mode.
(Is this improved in the current version?)
I can only drag the single frames to the desktop (as TIFF files, I guess transparency info is lost then?).
Barbara B. wrote:
... there's a bug beginning in PSE 6 where you can't change the frame delay rate from the default when you save an animated gif.
What's the default frame delay rate? Maybe it's just what I need.
Barbara B. wrote:
You might want to look into a free program like giffun from stone.com instead.
Yes that's maybe a better idea. It doesn't have to be free software. Can you recommend something good?
Thanks again!

Can i open and edit animated GIF in Adobe Photoshop Touch?

Can i open and edit animated GIF in Adobe Photoshop Touch?

No, only regular static GIF images are supported. The desktop version of Photoshop does support this however.

Animated GIFs are ridiculously large - why?

Hi all,
I cannot figure out why the animated GIFs I am exporting are
so massive in file size. For example, I import a small 5-frame
650Byte GIF. I edit the size of the canvas to pad it to a square
(from 54x40 to 54x54, or something like that), then I save it with
the following settings:
Animated GIF
Exact Palette
0 Loss
4 Colours (5 including alpha channel)
No dither
And it comes out as 64.4KB. How can the file size increase by
100 times with barely any change? Even if I import it, change
nothing and save the file with the same settings as above, it's
still 64.4KB. Is Fireworks padding the file with unnecessary
information or something?
Thanks for any help,
John.

I'm confused. What is this I am looking at. What have you
done to it to
make it increase in weight?

Animated gifs in PS CS6

Hi all, I am trying to save animated gifs from PS, I can get it to work fine when the layers are just flat layers, but I need to create the animated gif when I have layer folders... Ie layer 1 will have a graphic and some text, layer 2 different graphic and different text. But I have to create lots of banners each with a slight change on the text. So I want to keep the text editable so its quick to just chnage the text and then save another animated gif. But when I try and create frames from layers its bringing all the bits from the layer as different frames ie the graphic is one frame then the text is one frame etc. Is it possible to create the animated gif while still having layer folders or does it just work if they are flat layers?

Hi thanks for the reply, i didnt think it was really working, but now I have had a play, it does work and its pretty easy to change the text, it does pop open another photoshop file to edit the text, but it works ok.
Thanks
