  • Can the iPod (30 GB Video version) play animated .GIF files/pictures?

    When I go into the pictures folder, it only shows the first frame. Can it play animations?

    "Importing" .gif files is a very old QT Pro "trick" and was made available in the first "Pro" version of QT (3).
    I still use the feature to add logos or other, older animations to some of my newer QT "movies".
    Some of the older QT tricks can still be used today:

    I've been focusing my skill (very little) on the QuickTime discussions pages but visit these "iPod" discussions pages every now and then.
    Since the new iPod can also "do" the .mov format I thought I'd observe and comment for the newer users.
    Happy New Year!
    Oh, btw, QuickTime can also do some magic with your Photoshop files.

  • ANIMATIONS (.GIF FILES) AND LAYERS

    1. I HAVE PSE7 AND I CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANY ANIMATIONS TO WORK. IF I OPEN AN ANIMATED (.GIF) FILE, IT IS NO LONGER ANIMATED. DO I HAVE TO PUT IT ON A SPECIAL LAYER TYPE? WHEN I OPEN ONE OF THESE FILES, PSE7 CREATES 3 LAYERS FOR THE IMAGE, NONE OF THEM ANIMATED. WHEN I COMBINE THE LAYERS SO I HAVE ONE LAYER WITH THE IMAGE, IT ASKS IF I WANT TO DELETE THE HIDDEN OR EMPTY LAYERS, CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH.
    2. WHAT IS AN INDEX LAYER? WHEN I OPENED ONE OF MY FILES, IT CAME IN AS AN INDEX LAYER AND I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING WITH IT.
    I'M RUNNING WINDOWS XP PRO SP2.
    THANKS FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME.

    GIF does not support layers.
    Animated GIF files may open as layers into Photoshop. You need to save them again as an animated GIF file after manipulating them in the animation panel. The 'Save for Web' function would be most ideal.

  • Animated .gif files in mail. Problem persists. (PANTHER)

    Happy St. Valentine's Day to all you Irish folks!
    I'm posting this even though there are threads in the forum that I have
    used and contributed to in the past on this topic.
    The problem PERSISTS!
    The problem/situation is that in mail from family/trusted friends, after I
    open the mail, there is no "Load Images" warning at the top but an
    animated .gif file is in the message! (don't get me wrong, i do sincerely
    love dancing bears. i just want some warning.)
    Any suggerstions?
    In mail preferences,viewing I have unchecked "display images and embedded
    objects in HTML messages".
    In mail preferences,junkmail I have "enable junk mail filtering" and
    "trust junk mail headers..." both checked.
    All junk mail is flagged as junk. (in junkmail,advanced and in rules).
    I keep the preview pane collapsed.
    I pay attention to flags and don't open junk from strangers.

  • Does the iPhone play animated GIFs?

    Hi,
    Does the iPhone play animated GIFs? Sorry for asking such a basic question but I can't seem to find the answer on the web or within this forum.
    Also how do you implement it into your code? Do you need to use a UIWebView or can you just declare it like a regular png or jpg (e.g. UIImage *image = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"photo.gif"])
    Thanks for any help.

    you can play gif in webView ,just the same way you load a jpeg or png..
    NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"santa" ofType:@"gif"];
    NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path isDirectory:NO];
    /* Load the request. */
    [myWebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]];
    the gif that is locally saved will be loaded.

  • Why do all the white colours in my animated GIF files look grey?

    Why have all the white colours in my GIF files look grey? It is only apparant once published, and can change from browser to browser? (firefox tends to work, but not chrome)
    They should have white backgrounds. I have played with just about every setting when exporting the GIF in photoshop. And seems to work fine.
    But when published through muse it's grey??
    have a look...

    Hi Holy,
    Your site looks good to me when I check it on Chrome, Screen shot: http://project02.businesscatalyst.com/Jing/2013-10-24_1917.png
    Your gif also looks fine in chrome check this Small Video: http://project02.businesscatalyst.com/Jing/2013-10-24_1916.swf
    Please check on any other machine and see if you can see gray background. Also, make sure you have the latest version of chrome installed.

  • Animated Gif files in Captivate

    I have created an animated GIF file in Photoshop that i want to use in my captivate file.
    The file wont preview in any of the preview modes other than the HTML5 output preview. All other previews just show the first frame of the GIF file.
    If i chose to SWAP the animation with another GIF from the library the preview shows the animation playing.. see attached
    Is there something im doing wrong here.
    I guess i could upload my final file to the LMS with HTML5 output as this preview shows the animation but i also read there are limitations with this output as some transitions / effects dont work.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Darren

    Hi Darren,
    Yes, you can verify whether your GIF would fucntion correctly on HTML5 platform by Window--HTML5 Tracker Pod.
    I am not an expert on Photoshop, but still would like to make a recommendation.
    Set the 'delay' value for each of your Frame to 0.01 or some value if it shows as 0, this can be done using the animation frame Window. Save it as GIF again for Web Devices and import in Captivate, see, if you are abale to preview this time.
    Thanks,

  • Text messages with animated .gif files attachment

     I recieved a text the other day with an animated gif file attached. I believe it was sent as a zip file. Anyway I tried to open it and all I got was a gray screen with an icon . No animation.. The second one I recieved was from a buddy. I watched and listened to it on his Droid 1. I had him send it to my phone text came through fine when I went to load and play the gif file it .had sound but no animation, just the gray screen again. I know the attachment is a zip file as I sent it to my email and opened it on my computer. Any thoughts maybe there's a setting I'm not finding? I'm using whatver text mesage program thats standard on the DX.
    Thanks
    MTY55.

    Sounds like the issue you are having is that the files are zipped, MMS should be zipped because it has to access the files to display it.. I send and recieve anifated gif files and they play fine but also keep in mind that for some reason the stock email client does not play all files at same time, if there is a audio and photo, it will play audio and then the photo..

  • 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.

  • Animated .gif files

    I have been using an older version of Photoshop Elements for a long time but just got a new MacPro and decided it's time to upgrade my PSE.  But maybe not....I downloaded the Photoshop Elements Trial version to check out if it's really worth upgrading or not and I think I'm in trouble. I have a ton of animated .gif files and they do not appear to open in the familiar "layers".  i read through some of these discussion threads and I think you're saying that if I use the current version of Photoshop Elements I will not be able to edit my old .gif files.  I did try making new layered files and save them for the web with animation and that seemed to work.  But if I'm going to lose the ability to edit my old .gif files I'm not sure I want to upgrade.
    Can someone clarify this for me please.  Maybe it's just a matter of switching from Elements to CS4, but I thought from the descriptions of the programs as provided in the Products section that I fit more with the Elements program.....maybe not???? 
    And this does not even consider that I haven't tried to load my older version on the new intel machine yet, it may not even run if I try that.
    I do, for about 20% of my computing time use "that other" platform, but I don't like it, I much prefer my wonderful Mac machines.
    thanks for your help
    Leigh

    Thank you for your offer, I do appreciae it.  But I think the better question to ask at this point is :  What is the last version of Photoshop Elements that supports editing animated gif files.  This is too important to me to lose this ability and after checking further I see CS4 is out of my price and needed features range. I would rather hang on to my old laptop to manipulate photos than lose the ability to edit my .gif files.
    Can anybody help with this question?

  • How do I stop playing animated GIF's within web pages?

    Various websites display numerous images available for download. Some of those images are animated GIF files. These files take time to load and chew up a lot of my limited upload/download usage. IE Explorer let me see a single image for the GIF but doesn't load or play the GIF. How do I get that same setting in Mozilla Fire Fox?

    hello vyoumans,
    i found a couple different ways this can be done.
    1. this firefox addon, [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/toggle-animated-gifs/ Toggle animated GIFs], seems to work pretty good. ctrl+m toggles the animations on and off.
    2. if you don't want to install an addon, you can go to your browser configuration file. type ''about:config'' in the address bar and find the entry ''image.animation_mode''. double click it and set its value to ''none''. this should disable all GIF animations

  • Editing an animated gif file

    Hi experts,
    I have an animated gif file that works in my Dreamweaver website.  However, I edited the gif file in Photoshop, changing the image and canvas sizes.  When I save it (as a gif), only the top layer is retained, and it's no longer an animation.  How can I save the edited file and keep it as an animation that will work on my web page?
    Many thanks for hints
    Richard

    What version of PS are you running? In CS4, 5 and 5.5 (not sure on the others) you simply just open the .gif. It should be in layers - one layer for each frame. You will then need to open the animation panel before making any modifications. If you don't, it will change each frame to the current.
    You can't use save as. You need to use save as web or devices then make sure it's a gif and ensure the frames indicator says more than 1. You can then use the play/forward buttons to make sure it looks as you expect.

  • Animated GIF file Creation from no of JPEG files

    Does anybody know the program to convert a many JPEG files to a single animated gif file.

    Oh? And when did you ever say that? Perhaps you should provide clear questions and requirements.

  • Is there support for animated .gif files?

    Is there support for animated gif files using
    form builder? I can't get it to work.
    Thanks
    Sean
    I am using forms 6.0

    She used the Link Tool, specfied 'Image URL' as the Source File Format and the url of the animated GIF in the Source Filename. Hope that helps.
    Makes sense but the form is not for the web.
    I have looked at doing it with timers and switching canvases, but that is just too much
    for sloppy animation. It's just not tight enough.
    Thanks,
