Animated PNG in Photoshop?

I know how to creat animated GIF files in PS without issue. Is there anyway to create an Animated PNG in Photoshop? (including using 3rd party plugins)

Has support for video formats progressed to the point where you can have a small, high-quality animated element right inline on a page without a play button? And is there (partial) transparency in any video format?
One does see such things in Flash, and I've certainly still got to go educate myself better on what can be done with HTML5.
As far as having animated PNGs, it's not hard to think of applications where elements appear to hover over other elements on the page, perhaps drop shadows on the background, and move smoothly. As a primitive example, bring up this page with a PNG, resize it, and (assuming the movement animates quickly for you, as it does in IE9) note how it catches your interest because it's doing something uncommon... We've had GPUs that can easily facilitate real-time multilayer combinational rendering for a while now. Granted, it might not be good to have EVERYTHING moving around and jockeying for position in the Z-order all at once. That could end up as a good ol' fashioned mess. But imagine the above ball rolling onto the page, and the pieces animating to show the prospective buyer how the puzzle works.
With any data on the net, it's always a given that "less is better", but data size is not the only concern. The job is being done in the first place to create value -- if no one thought that actually putting rich, eye-catching elements on web pages was valuable then all we'd have is black text on gray backgrounds.

Can I export an animated PNG (APNG - I think) from Photoshop? If so, how?

Can I export an animated PNG (APNG - I think) from Photoshop? If so, how?

All Web browsers do not support animated png files some like Chrome have add-ons the support animated png. IMO there are ways to plat videos in all browsers. Video can contain audio as well as animations and the video and audio compression used produce smaller files sizes then animated png files I have seen for animated png files.
Animated png files have much better color and image quality when compared to animated gif however I feel video is a better choice then animated png. CC should be able to create those video animations.
I have create animated png files using Photoshop to create the frames and a free program to create the animated png files from the frames. I do not know if I still have the free application installed. I feel that at this point in time animated png is dead. or the softwae is end of life.

I am trying to create a simple animated gif in Photoshop. I've set up my frames and want to use the tween to make the transitions less jerky. When I tween between frame 1 and frame 2 the object in frame two goes out of position, appearing in a different place than where it is on frame 2. Confused!

Hi Melissa - thanks for your interest. Here's the first frame, the second frame and the tween frame. I don't understand why the tween is changing the position of the object in frame 2, was expecting it to just fade from one frame to the next.

Can I create an animated gif in photoshop touch?

How can I save the various layers in a project into an animated gif? Photoshop Touch doesn't appear to have the same functioality, or is it just differently set up?

We are not the right people to ask. The Touch forum (for tablet) is at

There's a long list f video tutorials here, but I can't see anything about animation

When I try to print an jpeg or png from Photoshop all it does is convert the image to a PDF & plop it on my desktop- it won't print the image. Any suggestions as to how to fix this?

Yes, the printer is on, it’s selected in Printer Set-Up & I’ve never had this problem before. It’s definitely a Photoshop issue as every other type of file prints fine. I’ve uninstalled Pshop & am now reinstalling. Hope that will do the trick.

I need to create an animation sequence in photoshop cs6 longer than 5 seconds

I need to create an animation sequence in photoshop cs6 longer than 5 seconds. please help.

What problem are you having that should be easy just create the layer to make frames with. Create a frame animation in the timeline panel. Create the frames and set their display time. Save an animated gif for the web ie "Save For Web"
Prior to CS6 Photoshop only had a Animation Palette in CS Adobe replaced the palette with the Timeline Palette that can do Frame animations and Video. You can render a fame animation as a video but video does not support transparency like and animated Gif.

Animation tools in Photoshop?

I am presently using Photoshop CS3 for animations and I must say that the tools are simple and easy to underatand. but I can't help noticing that most of the features pertaining to the animation aspect of Photoshop has not be improved since ImageReady.Now I have been trying to tween layer scale and rotate transformations but it doesn't work,if you scale a layer in a frame,it affects the others.
Pls,I am asking the developers to add the following features for Photoshop CS6:
Motion Tween presently has layer position,opacity and effects(It has been this way since Image Ready to CS5).Kindly add scale,rotate,and other transformations.I do not know why this has not been added.
-Also allow importation of audio files preferably wav,asf files.
I am begging you guys.This software is very popular around the world.If you add these,it will make animating so much easier.Right now,I have to make the frames into layers and resize each layer to animate scale transforms and it is time consuming.

Well..to some Photoshop might not appear like an ideal tool for animation but most people use Photoshop for drawing and painting and its better than most softwares in this respect though I hear corel painter is cool.So wouldn't it be cool for people who use Photoshop for drawing and painting and are familiar with it features to use it for animating.I do not know what you have against the software.
I enjoy animating the traditional way.Thats my own preference.It encourages creativity and I do not consider it tedious at all.Some people still make use of the lightbox for animating.I have tried Anime Studio and I hated the graphics and the whole drawing a character and sticking bones,painting skin weights that leads to bad deformation in certain areas.Keyframing with numbers and all that stuff.The animated movements look robotic.Animated shows like atomic betty and King Authur seem like softwares done with Anime Studio.I hate all those long process and key framing and whatever workflow.
With Photoshop,all I need to do is just draw.Thats all.To some people,drawing and colouring every frame may be work but I enjoy doing that.I even know of someone who used Flash and switched to Photoshop because of its graphics capablilities are far better than Flash.
I realize Photoshop might be lacking some features but because it does doesn't mean its not an ideal tool.Thats your opinion.If its not,why does the extended version have timeline animation(which I dislike).Simply put,Its not up to you to decide whether Photoshop gets these features or not.Adobe will decide.Stop discouraging them.Adobe might even make these features available as a plugin or patch that will be compatible with CS3 upwards.I enjoy using it for animation presently.
Here is something I did in Photoshop some time back.Took me two days:
Was real fun to animate.There are others far better than me.I hope I get better so Adobe,I will really appreciate it if these features are added.

How to make animated blood in Photoshop CS6?

I am wondering how I can make animated blood using Photoshop CS6. I have looked for tutorials and can't find anything. I want to make a render look like it's crying blood, so the blood would be running down the cheeks and dripping off the chin. Please help!

There isn't going to be really an automated way of doing this. Animation in Photoshop is very simple. You can basically animate just position and scale (also Layer Effects, but that generally isn't as helpful). You could, of course, hand animate this by drawing each individual frame like traditional animation. Each frame of animation would be a separate layer and you could animate the layer visibility. Or you could draw the last frame of blood flow on one layer and animate a mask that slowly reveals the blood trail.

Animation Gif sur Photoshop CS6, problème export.

Bonjour,
J'ai réalisé une animation en gif sur Photoshop CS6.
Lorsque je fais "Enregistrer pour le web", je visualise l'animation en cliquant sur Play en bas à droit de la fenêtre et je m'apperçoit que le rendu ne correspond pas à l'animation réalisée dans ma timeline.
Il me manque des séquences...
Merci pour votre aide,
Cordialement,
Tristan

Ok, je comprends mieux.
Une fonction sur laquelle je ne m'étais pas attardé (assez, visiblement), c'est donc l'export en gif animé, qui marche très bien sur l'animation, mais pas du tout sur l'opacité, les effets de style et par extension, les transitions. En gros, les mouvements sont conservés, mais vous n'aurez pas accès à tout le reste.
Comment résoudre ce problème :
Menu Fichier > Exporter > rendu vidéo et sortir une séquence d'image (pas Adobe Media Encoder) au format PNG (et bien penser à la ranger dans un sous-dossier)
puis
Menu Fichier > Ouvrir > Séquence d'image, en sélectionnant une des images du dernier sous dossier.
Enfin
Menu Fichier > Enregistrer pour le web… et là exporter en gif.
Ça mériterait d'être scripté, mais pour résoudre votre problème du jour, ça fera l'affaire
PS : j'ai bien entendu tenté de convertir en animation d'image sans succès, au moins, là, le rendu figé est directement visible.

Animated gif in photoshop

Hi
I'm running Photoshop 7 on a MacBook Pro. I previously used photoshop on a PC.
I created an animation using layers, and saved it as an optimised gif. However, when I tired to upload it to MySpace it would load: error message said it was an unsupported format.
I didn't have this problem before on the PC - any ideas what is different or how I can fix it?
THanks
Seamus

Hi, my apologies if that sounded condescending. Indeed I'm getting the same error as you do when trying to upload animated gif files created in either PS CS2 or IR CS2. I don't know what this site's problem is, because my gifs run in any browser. I have found that myspace accepts a gif file only when I open it in Safari and drag it from the browser window to the desktop first. Go figure.
I know it's annoying to have to open every gif file in Safari and drag it from the browser to the desktop, but at least it works this way.
It might just be some optimization setting in IR, although I wouldn't know what.
Good luck

Import animated GIF from Photoshop?

I have a question... I am unable to create custom animated gif's in Photoshop 5/6 and import them into Captivate 7. It just says "The GIF file contains errors". I've tried exporting on multiple settings and still no luck, same with exporting from Fireworks.
I am however able to import an exported gif from Flash, yet the quality is horrible and the transparency is buggy. Is anyone else having this issue, or is there some setting that I am missing? Basically I need to animate some images within a Captivate project, without the need of using a .SWF (for HTML5 output). Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

I experienced this issue with Captivate 8 and Photoshop CC...
I eventually realized if the animation has any frames with "no delay" I would get the error. Changing those frames to a 0.1 second delay resolved my issue. Not sure if this is the same bug you are experiencing but it's worth a try!

Creating animated GIF using Photoshop Scripting

Hi,
I am trying to mimic the action "Save for Web & Devices" of a PSD file, having 4 frames in an animation, into an animated GIF file.
I was suggested to use "ScriptingListener", but I did the copy/paste of the code, it did not work.
Is there a way to code a script, by using classes/functions to achieve this result ?
Thank you in advance.
Jean-Louis

Yes that's my understanding for Javascript, with clarification that with "compile them all into animated GIF through script" using some external program (e.g. check out ImageMagick). Whether that is an OK solution depends on what you are trying to do (just for own internal use or distribution).
For the Javascript docs see http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/photoshop/pdfs/photoshop-cc-javascr ipt-ref.pdf

Animated GIF in Photoshop CS5

I want to have my website and phone number rotating on the x-axis as an animated GIF. Is there a simple way to do this in Photoshop that I'm just missing?
I'd like to be able to insert the GIF in a movie project I've started in Sony Vegas.
Thanks!

Dupe the layer transforming it with a little rotation. Keep repeating this transform and dupe I think the scortcut Ctrl+Alt+shift+T will do that. then use f11 to open the animation palette use its fly-out menu item make frames from layers and the save a animated gif using save for web and devices.

Droplet for animated giff in Photoshop?

Is it possible to set up a Droplet for Photoshop that could receive multiple files and export them out as one animated gif?
I am trying to place three files into a Droplet I have made for Photoshop with the Actions set so that it converts them into a three frame animation but it doesn't work.
The Actions I have set up are:
Create Frame Animation
Make Frames from Layers
Set Selection:- To: all
Set current animation frames:- To: animation frames Delay: 3
Are the actions wrong or is it not possible as a Droplet to do this?
Thank you

That will get ugly... You will have to open them up individually, use the animation timeline in frame mode and then use copy&paste frame by frame. The other option would be the frames to layers conversion, but it would similarly entail shuffling around many layers. You'd have it much easier if your images were genuine video files. That way you could simply load them as video layers and treat them as self-contained whole entities...
