Cannot email animated gif's

I've recently downloaded several small sized animated .gif files on safari to the iphone camera roll, and I cannot email this file for whatever reason. I get "Saving file" when I "Email Photo" and it will continue saving the file in a loop, which is quite odd since the file is already saved on the iphone. This happens on any of the animated gif files I have on the phone. I figured since I can download that file rather quickly, is it the upload that is slowing things down? I have left some running for over 15 minutes with no avail. I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Has anyone else seen this? Thanks.

  • Cannot Import Animated Gif

    Hi all. I have been following the Lynda tutorials for Captivate 5 for Mac, and I'm at the point where they are inserting animated .gif files. When I attempt to insert the image via Insert > Animation, and select the file I receive the message that "The file is not an animated GIF file", and then nothing imports to the stage.
    I downloaded an animated .gif from the web and tried to import that, but same result. They both open up on Photoshop fine.
    Can anybody help me with this issue?

    Hi,
    In my envirement...
    If the animations frames set to "No Delay (0 Sec)" in PhotoShop, once import the GIF file to Captivate will get "The file is not an animated GIF file", if import the GIF file to Media Encoder will have problem too.
    Please try set frames to 0.1 seconds at least

  • Viewing Animated GIF files in Preview

    Hello...
    I'm trying to figure out why I cannot view animated GIF files within Preview. When I search within Preview's help I get this...
    *1. Open the animated GIF file in Preview.*
    *2. 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.*
    *3. 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.*
    Now at the end of number 3 it states that "the animation stops", so according to that statment Preview should be "playing" the animation until I click a certain frame to stop it. Well mine doesn't do this, SO what's going on?
    Oh, my OS is v10.4.10 and Preview is v3.0.9(409).
    Thanks!

    Preview in Panther did play animated gifs, although it was a bit clunky at it. Evidently they intended to fix this in Tiger, but instead they ended up breaking it completely. To play an animated gif you now need to do so in a browser, such as Safari. Preview no longer plays them at all.

  • Insert animated gif or flash files (.swf) in Form?

    How can i insert animated gif or flash files (.swf) or another type of animated files in Form?

    If you are web deployed you can put an animated gif as the image to an iconic button.
    Image items cannot display animated gifs.
    Anything else you can do through a JavaBean if you need to.

  • Animated GIF files in SWF

    I have an FLA file that is utilizing numerous animated GIF
    files the files themselves are also rather large. I was hoping that
    when rendering the SWF file it would simply render to the
    resolution stated and the individual components within the FLA
    should not matter. For example, a SWF file of 100 X 100 playing for
    10 Seconds would be half the size of the same thing running for 20
    seconds. And the number of GIFs or other elements within the FLA
    should not matter. This is obviously not the case... however I
    would like to know how I can effectively integrate animated GIF
    files without hugely impacting SWF file size.
    Thanks for you time :)

  • Datagrid using animated gif or flash

    I have a datagrid that is using an image control for its item
    renderer on one of the columns. That works just fine but I would
    like to be able to display an animated image in the datagrid
    instead of a static one.
    I know flex doesnt support animated gifs but is there any way
    I could make it show one in a data grid?
    Thanks.

  • Animated Gif showing OK in Mac Email Body but not the PC

    Hello,
    Not sure where to post this (MAC or PC Photoshop forum), but I will try here first.
    I have an animated gif that is placed in a Microsoft Word Document and then Sent from there, as an HTML e-mail.
    This guarantees that the animated gif shows up in the body, not as an attachment.
    All is well on the mac side, but the PC just shows the first frame...The animation doesn't work.
    Does anyone know why?
    I have checked on Outlook 2003 and 2010...no animation.
    Thanks

    Hi Marian,
    I agree 100%...Unfortunately, We want to add a little bit of animations to our evites..nothing extravagant, but many of our in-house folks and clients use Outlook. We initially started to use the Word option, because we didn't want the emails to be just background images, as there were other issues.... but we couldn't send them as attachments either, as we wanted the evite to be in the body when they opened the e-mail, not an attachment. If you have any other suggestions about how we could use an animated gif in the body of an e-mail to show up in outlook, I am all ears!!! Of course, like Jeffery points out, if Outlook won't play them anyway, then we simply can't do it. I just have to believe there is some way to do this that will work for outlook as well???
    Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!
    Thanks!

    I think this is just the way things are.
    I inserted an animated GIF in an Outlook 2003 eMail, for which I have configured Word 2003 to be the editor.  It didn't animate while I was composing the eMail.  I imagine this is because it's still a Word document at that point; it isn't converted to HTML until it's sent.
    However, after I sent it (to myself), I can see the animation both in the preview pane of Outlook 2003 and if I double click the message to open it as an HTML message I see the animation as well.  In Outlook, I have the following options set, which seem to be pertinent:

    Hi Tom
    The email language is in English, and it is the only email source that seems to suffer from this issue.  Its distributed weekly but I only noticed the problem a few months back - prior to that it was fine.
    Ordinarily I wouldn't be too hung up about it as I can always read on another device or even log into my gmail from the safari browser (where it renders perfectly) - but given it displays without issue on the ipad, I was just curious to see if there was some config issue on the phone.
    Have attached a screenshot to see if it helps.  You'll see that the mail begins out normally in English and then deteriorates after a few sentences, possibly initially starting with the first use of the € Euro symbol.

  • Animated gif in email

    I have a gif file which is animated when it's sent to me from a windows user. The gif is actually 10 images and when animated, it shows a coyote walking. I can't seem to get it to animate when I send it. Ideally, I'd like to add it to my signiture. Any idea what's going on and how to do this?

  • Animated gifs in emails

    I was in a chat with microsoft and they said that because our outlook is run through an exchange server this may have something to do with why our gifs are not animated in emails we receive.
    What can be done to fix this?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hi,
    Which version of Outlook are you using?
    If you are using Outlook 2007 or later version of Outlook, Outlook won’t display the animated gifs.
    Only a static representation of the GIF image shows.
    Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 use only Microsoft Office Word as the email editor while Outlook 2013 uses a Word-based email editor. Neither of the two email editors supports animated gifs.
    For more information, please refer:
    http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/wordhtml.htm
    As a workaround to view animate gif images, we can view the email in Browser. To do this, double click to open the message, and then click
    Actions button > View in Browser.
    To make it easier, we can write a macro to directly display Outlook message in a browser, see:

  • Animated Gifs in Email

    I want to attach animated gifs to my email messages. When I do, the images stay static and aren't animated.
    My PC friends use Outlook Express to compose their email, and the animations work fine. I checked the information for Entourage and found that it doesn't support animated gifs. Does anyone know how to do this on the Mac, using Tiger 10.4.11?

    Mulder,
    I went to the site you mentioned, downloaded an animated GIF, and sent myself a test email. When it didn't work, I went back to that site's help menu and have copied what it said below:
    "How to use animated GIF Images
    For use in web pages: see Image Usage & Linking Policy
    For use in Microsoft Outlook: In Outlook 2003 and earlier, an animated image can be incorporated into the email text, only when using the HTML format. Position the cursor at the point where the image is to appear and select Insert/Picture.
    When using the Word editor for composing email messages, the image will not animate. Outlook 2007 does not support animation in any format.
    For use in Microsoft PowerPoint: You should not have any issues inserting and viewing animated images."
    I checked your response carefully and found that the only difference is that you have a signature set up for your emails, and I do not.
    I went to the Eudora site and they support animated GIFs if you sign up for their "paid" program. I couldn't find out the cost anywhere and suspect that it shows up after you've downloaded the program. I'm not familiar with the Balzac client but will check it out. I don't compose my emails using HTML. I simply use the Mail program and format my text using the font and color menus. Is that how you do yours? (I'm still looking for that "extra ingredient" that you have [besides your brain] that makes yours work.)
    Thanks again.

  • Using animated gifs  in emails

    I've made an animated gif using flash an am trying to make it
    so the gif appears in my signature at the bottom of every email. I
    can place it in the signature but when I send the email the gif is
    static and doesn't move. Also I'm using a mac and when I recieve an
    animated gif in an email from a PC the gif is also static. I need
    to be able to send animated gifs in emails from PC and Mac using
    Mircosoft Outlook for PC and Entourage for MAC. Any help would be
    much appreciated.
    Cheers,

    this really has nothing to do with flash at all - you have no
    control over this as the recipient of
    your email may not be using an email client that supports
    animated gifs - does your gif work when
    viewed ina web page?
    you must realize there are a myriad ways people check email -
    sometimes via a browser, handheld
    device, email client software, etc...not all support animated
    gifs and the ones that do may have
    that option turned off by user.
    i would consult the support section of the email software
    your recipients use.

  • Cannot change delay time for animated GIFs

    I just got PSE 6.0 for Mac, and I've slowly been learning how to do what I'd like to with it. I've noticed that there have been some problems with the program, though, such as sudden lockups that make me force-quit. One of my more serious issues involves making adjustments to the delay time in some simple, animated GIF files that I have been working on, using the Save For Web command. For some reason, I can't change the delay time from its default of 0.2 seconds to anything else; the slider doesn't respond when I click on it, nor can I make any direct adjustments in the field itself. In the end, I'm stuck with just that 0.2-second delay. Is this a bug in the program, or am I just missing something?
    If this helps, I have created a set of animated GIFs with two layers/frames apiece, looping continuously. The second and topmost layer is asigned a Dissolve filter, and usually left at 100% opacity when I make the final adjustments. The workspace background for each is transparent when I begin.
    Oh, also, I am using PSE on an Intel iMac with OS 10.5.6, with 2GB RAM and enough hard drive space to fit everything.

    Unfortunately, this is a known bug in PSE 6 for mac:

  • PSE 9 - cannot change speed of animated GIF

    I read in other discussions that there was a 'bug' on Mac version of previous releases of PSE and the the speed of the animated gif couldn't be set.
    I also read that this was fixed in PSE 9, but it doesn't work for me.
    What is the real status of this bug ? Could it be that 'old' files were retained when I installed PSE 9 and that they override the 'good' ones ?
    (I erased all visible traces of PSE 8 from my Application support folders, prefs folders, etc.. , but didn't run the proper desinstall tool and now it dooesn't work - hangs after a while)
    Thanks for help on this

    It was fixed and got broken again, so it is currently broken, unfortunately. PSE 9 is pretty poor for animated gifs in many ways, including inability to see all the layers in an existing gif, so it's best just to avoid using it for this, I'm afraid.
