Creating GIF in photoshop?

Hi Guys
been dabbling in some photoshop, nothing major, but have been using it more recently creating my own business cards, and flyers for my phone repairs. Now I would like to start a website, I seen a few templates, and came across a GIF, and thought it would be great to animate my Logo as a gif, it's basically a blue power button, but want the effect of it glowing off and on, then repeat.
But when I google to create a GIF, they all show how to create one from movie clips.
I already have my layers for the logo, and am assuming I will have to make several in stages of it getting dimmer.
Do I need to save all of these individually as JPEG, PSD? Is it actually possible to do?
My experience is basically a novice, I can follow youtube tutorials and that's about it, so I would need pretty detailed tutorials on how this would work (if possible)
I'm using CS6.
Many Thanks

Look for the topic creating a frame animation the timeline can do video and frame animations and frame animations came be rendered out as video.  Older versions of Photoshop only had an animation panel the could  do frame animations only.  here one I made using  two layers in an older version of Photoshop. Used the tween option to create frames between the two frames I created
You can also add a layer mask and unlink it and do this

    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:

    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.

  • 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

  • Creating stills in photoshop cs2 for 16:9 HDTV

    Hi,
    I've been reading posts regarding creating stills and still need some clarification. I'm from a print world, so dealing with square pixels vs. non square, hdv, vs dv widescreen is all a bit confusing....
    I've been to this link: http://www.fcpbook.com/Photoshop1.html and several others, plus reading the manuals which all have been helpful, but each instance deals with different specs, not necessarily what I've listed below.
    First, I am creating the stills for 16:9 viewing on a hidef tv (1080). The FCE HD project is an animated, narrated story with overlays, keyframe motion and some limited effects.
    Here are my questions:
    1. In creating my original photoshop template: should I use pshop's presets under "new document":
    HDV, 1920 x 1080 (with guides) and if yes, what should the aspect ratio be set at? Square or HDV anamorphic? (When I do "HDV anamorphic" I get a squashed look in FCE, with "square" it looks good.)
    2. Saving the photoshop file to be imported into FCE, would it be better to save as a jpg, or photoshop or other format? I've been reading differing opinions as to which...
    3. Once I create this template (above) can I crop down the still if it doesn't fill the entire photoshop template (I will have some overlays that will not require a full frame in FCE).
    4. some images will be enlarged in FCE. Instead of enlarging them in FCE, should I be enlarging them in photoshop? should I be enlarging exponentially, ie doubling the size of my original photoshop template? And if I'm enlarging them less than 150% in FCE, would the image lose it's sharpness at that enlargement?
    5. And finally, I've already created some of the stills in photoshop using the photoshop presets for HDV 1920 x 1080, pixel aspect: square and brought them into FCE. Is WYSWYG in the FCE's canvas window what I'll be seeing on my TV monitor (16:9 1080 HDTV). The images are not squashed and look great, but I'm not sure if that's what I'll end up with when I finally view on my tv.
    Thanks for any help!

    1. If you're working in FCE in a 1920x1080 sequence then that's what you should make in Photoshop, square pixels not HDV.
    2. Save as Photoshop, TIFF, or PNG, not JPEG.
    3. Yes.
    4. Enlarge in Photoshop if they have to be enlarged. You should never double the size of an image. It will quickly start to deteriorate, especially when it's re-compressed. You'll have to live with it not being full size. You should never enlarge an image more than 115%. It will start to soften and make encoding more difficult.
    5. No. The Canvas is a lo res representation of the final output. For professional work most editors use an external video monitor to view their material. This can't be done unfortunately in FCE with HD material.

  • Creating titles in Photoshop

    Hello,
    There are times I want to create titles in photoshop or fireworks and import into iMovie.
    When I do them @ 640x480, they come in all messed up.
    They look fine on QT Pro.
    What is the best way to do this for iMovieHD 6?
    Is there a template that anyone can refer me to?
    Thanks, Richard

    I guess you get the best quality if you compose the titles in the 720x480 resolution they end up with anyway (you are using NTSC, right?). Then there will ne NO scaling that can distort the image.
    So make a 720x480 Photoshop document. You can set Photoshop to use 4320/4739 ~0.912 pixel aspect ratio so you see the correct dimensions.
    http://www.iki.fi/znark/video/conversion/
    Then the trick: don't import that image to iMovie because it will scale the 720x480 image. Instead, open it in QT Player Pro and export it as a .dv stream. THEN import that .dv to iMovie. Then there should be no scaling.
    Also remember that it is surprisingly difficult to do good-looking line-art for video. You have to slightly blur the image if it contains sharp vertical lines. Avoid some colors in NTSC etc. See also:

  • 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.

  • Creating .gif pictures?

    Not sure if this is the correct forum to ask this, but does anyone know of any software that is easy to use for creating gif files? I am not sure if any of the software that came with Leopard is capable of doing this or not.
    Thanks in advance?

    The Mac OS X program Preview offers limited GIF image support and editing. iPhoto* does too. For more full editing features see:
    http://www.lemkesoft.com/ 's GraphicConverter
    and for animation, see:
    http://nyctergatis.com/gifbuilder/index.html
    - * iPhoto does not come with Leopard, but rather comes with Macs that ship with Leopard. It is a part of iLife. To learn which Macs have iPhoto bundled with them, see this user tip:

  • Creating a transparent GIF in Photoshop CS4

    I am new to Photoshop CS4 and I'm finding it a bit of a 'challenge'.
    I would like to create a transparent GIF of my signature, so that I can put it into various documents.
    My signature is on a white background and is written using a blue ball point pen and is scanned in as a colored GIF file.
    Despite having Googled how to do that I am completely stumped.  They talk about using the lasso tool to draw around my signature (which I do) and then they say press the delete key.  Well, on my iMac NOTHING happens!
    Can anyone offer me a simple tutorial (for the Mac) that can walk me through creating a transparent GIF file of my signature?
    Thanks,
    Peter

    Load luminance or the channel with the best contrast by command-clicking the appropriate channel in the Channels Panel
    It seems hard to make it more clear …
    Command-click (hold the command-key pressed while clicking) the composite Channel’s icon (or any of the other channels’ if you should deem them preferable) in the Channels Panel.
    This should load a Selection.
    I would like to create a transparent GIF of my signature, so that I can put it into various documents.
    Where do you want to do that anyway (Photoshop, some layout-software, a browser …)?
    Because depending on that using a file-format of fairly limited features like gif could seem inadvisable.
    the problem I have with Photoshop CS4 is that when I enter the help system it goes to the web and give me help for Photoshop CS5!!!!
    You should be able to download the Help as a pdf here:

    If psd doen’t mean anything to you you should look it up.
