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

  • Create animated GIF using imageio

    How do you create an animated GIF using the J2SE's javax.imageio classes?
    I have been browsing these 3 threads (one of which I participated in) to try and develop an SSCCE of creating an animated GIF.

    (pity I did not prompt the OP on that last one, to supply an SSCCE.)
    Unfortunately, my efforts so far have been dismal. Either, without the IIOMetadata object, the GIF has frames with no delay, and it cycles just once, or with the IIOMetadata object I get an error.

    According to imagio's [gif metadata specification|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/imageio/metadata/doc-files/gif_metadata.html], the metadata you are specifying is image-specific metadata. The stream metadata is global metadata applicable to all the images.
    So change this,
    IIOMetadataNode root =
        new IIOMetadataNode("javax_imageio_gif_stream_1.0");to this,
    IIOMetadataNode root =
        new IIOMetadataNode("javax_imageio_gif_image_1.0");and this,
    IIOMetadata metadata = iw.getDefaultStreamMetadata(iwp);
    System.out.println( "IIOMetadata: " + metadata );
    //metadata.mergeTree(metadata.getNativeMetadataFormatName(), root);
    metadata.setFromTree(metadata.getNativeMetadataFormatName(), root);
    //Node root = metadata.getAsTree("javax_imageio_gif_image_1.0");to this,
    IIOMetadata metadata = iw.getDefaultImageMetadata(
            new ImageTypeSpecifier(src),null);
    System.out.println("IIOMetadata: " + metadata);
    metadata.mergeTree(metadata.getNativeMetadataFormatName(), root);Here is your program again, but with the above changes.

  • Problem to create animated gif using transparent frames

    Hi, everyone:
    My name is Edison, I am playing with Gif89Encoder utility classes to make an animated gif which is a requirement for my course work.
    I got some problem about the transparent frames. I used the png image as the frame to create the animated gif,
    those pngs have transparent colors and the background is totally transparent, when i create the animated the gif with those
    frames, the animated gif display the colors but without transparency for those colors, but the background is transparent as expected.
    I am not sure if I should IndexGif89Frame or DirectGif89Frame for the colors from the Gif89encoder package.
    Is there anyone got the same problem and knows how to fix it?
    The following is how i setup the colors in my png file, the alpha channel is 80.
    Color[] colours = new Color[7];
              colours[0] = new Color(255, 255, 255, 0);
              colours[1] = new Color(128, 128, 255, 80);
              colours[2] = new Color(128, 0, 128, 80);
              colours[3] = new Color(0, 128, 128, 80);
              colours[4] = new Color(128, 128, 0, 80);
              colours[5] = new Color(204,102,255,80);
              colours[6] = new Color(255, 0, 0, 80);The code i did to generate gif:
    public void run89Gif()
            Image[] images = new Image[4];    
            try{
                images[0] = ImageIO.read(new File("D:/temp/0.png"));
                images[1] = ImageIO.read(new File("D:/temp/1.png"));
                images[2] = ImageIO.read(new File("D:/temp/2.png"));
                images[3] = ImageIO.read(new File("D:/temp/3.png"));
                OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("D:/temp/output.gif");
                writeAnimatedGIF(images,"Empty annotation", true, 1, out);         
                images = null;
            }catch(IOException er){ }
    static void writeAnimatedGIF(
            Image[] still_images,
                String annotation,
                boolean looped,
                double frames_per_second,
                OutputStream out) throws IOException
            Gif89Encoder gifenc = new Gif89Encoder();
            for (int i = 0; i < still_images.length; ++i){
               gifenc.addFrame(still_images);
    gifenc.setComments(annotation);
    gifenc.setLoopCount(looped ? 0 : 1);
    gifenc.setUniformDelay((int) Math.round(100 / frames_per_second));

  • Creating Animated GIF using Frames

    I would like to create an animated gif without using the 'tween' tool. Basically, I'd like to have an object move across the screen, stop at one point, perform a task (i.e., move arms/legs up and down in a 'jumping jack' style) and then continue on across the screen. I create the first frame then click on the 'duplicate frame' icon. In this frame I use the puppet warp feature to change the position of my object's arms/legs. Next, I duplicate the frame again and repeat the puppet warp process. Finally, I continue to duplicate the frames, moving the object 'x' spaces each frame until it finishes its journey across the screen.
    Unfortunately, when I change the position of my object's legs/arms, it changes all of them across all frames. However, the program still allows the object to continue its journey across the screen.
    Because of this, I have had to create separate jpg files for each and every one of the object position changes, then import each one with the 'place' tool into the layers and finally create frames from layers and save the gif that way.
    Is there a way to do the above without having to create a separate jpg for each one?

    Hi SweetFang,
    If you're using the Puppet Warp tool, I may suggest you change your workflow. When you duplicate a frame, it doesn't necessarily duplicate the object that is being animated so each change you make will show up in every frame. Instead of duplicating frames to make your changes, try duplicating layers. It will be a good deal easier than saving out a .jpg for each image and then placing them in.
    1. Create your background.
    2. Create a new layer for the object you will animate. Position it how you want it to look in the first frame of your animation.
    3. Now, duplicate the layer and use the puppet transform tool to make your first change.
    4. Repeat this process: duplicate your most recent layer, make your change, duplicate your most recent layer, make your change, etc. (To keep your workspace clear you may want to make each previous layer invisible when you add a new one)
    5. When you're completely finished, open your Animation panel (CS5) or Timeline panel (CS6) and in the flyout menu, choose Make Frames From Layers
    This workflow is essentially what you're doing already, but you're duplicating layers instead of frames and then making the frames automatically.
    Please let me know if this makes your project a little bit smoother.
    Cheers,
    Michael

    You may want to look into getting Xtools ps-scripts - Browse Files at SourceForge.net then.  Most of the support is for ActionManager script code where XML code is use as an intermediate step.  There are quite a few Photoshop script in XTools .   Ross Huitt is an expert javascript programmer though is is fed up with Adobe's lack of support for Photoshop scripting particularly the bugs in ScriptUI he is still maintaining tool he  has created for us free of charge. Tools like Image Processor Pro. None of his scripts are save as binary so you can read all of his code there is a wealth of knowledge in there....
    Also there is a scripting forum Photoshop Scripting

  • How to create a group using photoshop scripting?

    Hey guys,

  • Load/import images into layers to create animated gif in PE4

    I'm trying to make an animated gif using Photoshop Elements 4.0.
    I have numerous images (photos) that I need to insert into separate frames of one image.
    (photo1, photo2 ..... photo10 - all combined in layers to create the frames of the animated gif)
    I can open each photo separately, copy it, go the the animated gif image, create a new layer, and paste the image into the layer to create a frame in the animated gif.  This is very time consuming.
    Does Elements 4.0 allow for just opening/importing the separate images (photos) into the layers (frames) of the gif direclty?  I remember having software that came with Macromedia Dreamweaver 4.0 in 2000 that made this simple and straight forward.

    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.

  • Trouble creating an animated gif in Photoshop

    Hello. I am having trouble creating a gif in Photoshop (using still images). I get as far as the step where you click the dropdown menu on the top right of the timeline screen (following multiple online tutorials) and don't see the option to "create new layer for each new frame". I get completely different options and none of them seem to be right. I am using Photoshop CC 2014 and am completely udated. Can anyone HELP?
    Here is an example of a tutorial I followed (many say the same thing)
    I get stuck at step 5:
    http://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/how-to-create-animated-gif-quick-tip-ht
    Here is a screenshot of what I see, Argh!!!
    Can anyone help? Thank you in advance!

    With a document open in Photoshop CC 2014 use menu Window>Timeline to display the Timeline palette. In it you will see a button with a pull-down menu in the center.  The button can create a Frame Animation timeline or a Video  Timeline.  You want to create an Frame animation.  The Palette also has a fly-out menu opened by clicking the little down pointing triangle in its upper right corner.  There are some useful options in it. For example you can create two frames from some layers you have then have Photoshop create frames between them using the tween option. Then save out a PSD,  a Animated Gif and render a MP4.

  • I am using Timeline to create animated GIFs, but it is going REALLY slow.

    I am trying to create a simple animated GIF using Timeline. My plan is to have it last 20 seconds. But with just a couple of layers with straight-forward movements it moves incredibly slow. What is set to take 0.1 seconds takes 5-10 seconds… Am I setting my time too long? Doing the same thing for 5 seconds worked just fine -- but it was too short a time frame to get done what I wanted.

    Sounds like you are using frame animation instead of timeline animation. for frames you take the total number of frames and divide it by total number of seconds, that should provide the # of seconds per frame.
    Now if you would have gone the timeline route (CS3 and newer) You could have set a key frame for the beginning time of the animation and an ending time of the animation and be done with it, no need to figure out the speed. What it does is the opposite, you set the time and the fps(frames per second) and photoshop creates each frame for you.

    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.

  • Creating a GIF using CS3

    I am trying to create a GIF using CS3. I have read the discussions on Adobe but I get to a stage in the instructions and it is not working for me. I have 6 jpeg photos, and i bring them all into one. All photos are named different. After reading the forums, the next step is FILE>SAVEAS. Next, you select COMPUSERVE.gif. Once I select that, I have no idea where to go. It would be much appreciated if someone could help me out. Thanks
    PS Sorry about the picture quality.

    Here are some basic steps, but i would go Image>Image Size and reduce the size (pixel dimensions) of your document first.
