Edge Animate export to animated .gif?

Hi everyone, I just started using Edge Animate and have completed my project. My final deliverable I am looking for is an animated gif with everything contained in it. Can Edge do this? I think I will blow the mind of my vendor if I try to send them an HTML file, Javascript and the images all separately. Is there a way to export just one file? If not, can I import my Edge Animate file into another Adobe application where I could do so? Thank you.

There really is no "single file" solution with HTML, none that would be easy anyways. The HTML page is an aggregate of images, libraries, fonts, etc and due to the nature of the format I don't think you'll find the one-off package you're looking for. Even if you were to embed in say Dreamweaver or Muse the output would still be multiple files.
IMO I think your best solution would be to upload somewhere and share a link
Cheers,
Sarah

Exporting an animated GIF

Does anyone know whether it's possible to export an animated GIF from FCP? The only methods I've seen described involve using three programs I don't have - AE, Graphics Converter or ImageReady.

I don't know if there is a way to do it with just FCP.
Have you tried GIFBuilder? I heard it works very well.

How do I export an animated GIF from Premiere CC?

How do I export an animated GIF from Premiere CC?
I dont see an Animated codec option

Hi Nick
Believe me I STARTED there.
I wouldnt post this message if I didnt try there first.
I do not see Animated GIF as a codec option.
Please walk me through the step by step process of how you got this.
Because it is not as obvious as you're making it out to be.
Further more perhaps a certain format has to be selected for Animated GIF options to appear?
YES I AM ON CC version too. thanks!

How can someone without Edge Animate see an animation if I don't upload it to a website yet?

So I just got Adobe Edge Animate CC and I've watched a few videos about the different saving options but I don't talk HTML/code or anything like that so I just want to make sure I'm doing things right. I designed and animated a banner and I have to send this to the webmaster where he will put the banner online but I want to make sure before I send anything that he will ble able to view the animation even without having Adobe Edge or not using Dreamwaever or Muse or any Adobe program. Just like a photo in Photoshop can be saved in jpeg, png. etc. I wanted to know if there is a file extension that can be opened with Flash or some other software that people don't need to pay for in order to watch my products.
I don't want to upload the banner and then find out it needs edits- that's why I'd like others to be able to see rought cuts.
Thanks for your help!

Hi, PR-
You would upload it the way you would upload any set of files to your web server. Some companies have them set up as network shares, some have them set up so that you log in with an FTP or SFTP account, and some have them set up so that you use SCP or a similar protocol. Basically, you will want to publish to web and then take the contents of the publish/web/ directory and put them into a directory on your webserver.
Hope that helps,

Flash CS4 crashes when exporting to animated .GIF!!!!

I am running Snow Leopard and Flash CS4 10.0.2. Everytime I try to export to an animated GIF flash will crash. I can export to .swf, html, and a static .gif just fine. As soon as I check that animated box and hit publish, it crashes. This is annoying and ridiculous. Is this an issue with Flash?
At first I thought it was due to the fact that I was using actionscript for my animation. I figured the .gif didn't support that so I got rid of it, still crashed. Even just made a very simple text animation and it still would crash. This is unacceptable.
Anyone know a good SWF - animated GIF converter in the meantime?

Honestly, I am really astonished that CS4 runs under Windows 8 at all. You should get your hands on a trial version of flash cc and test if you are encountering the same problems:
if yes: then it must be related to your soundsystem (audio drivers/soundcard) or the files you try to import are non-standard/demolished
if no (flas cc imports your files but not CS4) then I would advise moving on to a specialized Windows 8.1 forum

How do I hide the mask layer when exporting as animated GIF ?

Hi,
I have designed the following logo for my football team's website.
It plays fine as a flash file but when I export it as an animated GIF file, it shows the bright pink mask layer. Obviously I don't want it to. Has anybody an idea of how to rectify this problem ?
Thanks,
Phil

Peter,
Success! I finally got my head round it Indeed, I can see now your point about the export method being preferable, it's also much quicker than my old "print PDF" method! Like I say, publishing isn't my area of expertise and I get comfortable and set in my ways with certain ways of doing things, especially with computers!
Bob,
Like I was saying to Peter, that makes sense now. I guess my not appreciating the process of PDF creation and thus my incorrect use of the terminology may have confused the issue. With regards the link you sent me, wow it certainly seems I'm not the only one who gets confused! Fortunately it seems my problem is now solved and I have learned to produce a better product!
Thanks again guys!
....now I wonder how I can make my dissertation interactive....

CS4 Export Movie animated gifs

I tried using this feature in CS3 and no matter what setting I tried the animation looked horrible. I have been using CS4 so I can get used to it and I have to say that the new animation techniques really make a big difference. One of the features I thought I would try is the export movie to an animated gif. Without even looking at the settings I did the export and opened the .gif in Firefox and I as amazed to see that it looks so much better in CS4 than CS3 ever did. I guess this must have been a big complaint cause as a designer who does alot of banners I need to do back up animated.gifs in some instances and if you know Macs there is no app to do this so when I needed to I would copy the swfs to a thumb drive and do the conversion from swf to animated gif on my pc.

I searched the CS5 user guide PDF, and find that animated gif is a support INPUT format, but find NO mention of that being an export format
The tutorial list in message #3 http://forums.adobe.com/message/2276578 has a link to download the current PDF for easy searching, since I don't know if CC adds that for export

Edge Animate CC 2014 animation of elements of a html file created in Dreamweaver

Does anyone know why with Edge Animate CC 2014 it's not possible anymore to animate elements of a html file created in Dreamweaver? With Edge Animate CC 3.0.0. this was possible.

Hello!
I now have a project that seems to be corrupted. A had been working on it all morning, with a few bugs here and there. Now I can no longer open the file, receiving this error: "Edge Animate: Exception An error occurred. Please your work and restart Edge Animate."
I will try to attach sample files.

How to increase the quality when exporting an animated gif

I'm using a very simple animation, with just 2 sentences been animated, the rest are static images. This is 250 x 250 banner and my requirements are, 50kb max, 30 seconds or shorter and 5fps, when saving as a gif, the quality I'm getting is really poor, is there a way to increase the quality and keeping the same requirements at the same time?
Thanks,
Trish

No, not the way you have animated it. You are working against the limitations of the format and doing everything "wrong" one possibly could.
a) You are using a photo to begin with
b) You animate opacities
c) You move stuff
All of this will quickly exhaust the max. 256 global colors and change the dithering patterns with every frame. Unless you can come up with a more suitable design, you will have to live with the quality as it is. It's inherent in the format's limitations.

Why is my edge animate producing bumpy animations ?

when i add a series of transitions to an object, the animation becomes jittery. could it be something to do with my video ram?

We will need to see your sample - can you post a url.
It is hard to determine bsed on the brief description you provided.

Edge Animate CC - parallel animation

How make two animations? First animation when i click is stopped, second animation dont stop? I don't understand, it turns only the linear animation.
the problem is that it is impossible to make a smooth transition, since I don `t know in what period of time, click on the object.

If you want 2 animations in the same composition to play at the same tme, you need 2 symbols and invoke them at the same time on the timeline with a code similar to this:
sym.getSymbol('symbol1'),play();
sym.getSymbol('symbol2'),play();
You could also add this on a click event or any other mouse event.
https://app.box.com/s/hqehmzklk0pnzlp92r3c
This being said, I am not sure this is what you want. If you want the second animation to play when the first one is finished, you can add the code for the second animation at the end of the first animation timeline.
Let us know if what you want to do is different with more details.

Good alternative to Edge Animate for SVG animation?

Hello,
Does anyone know if there is an animation tool that makes full use of the capabilities of the SVG file type? I understand SVG has a very robust feature set in terms of effects and animation, but is there a tool that allows us to use all of those things together?
Thanks.

use this plugin to be able put html code : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/import-html-pages/
then use this : <iframe src="your_Edge_File.html" width="100%" height="100%" scrolling="no"></iframe>

Does animated .gif export support animation of library symbols?

I'm currently using the 30-day free trial of Adobe Flash Professional CC. I was really pleased to see how easily you could export animations in animated .gif format, seemed to run without a hitch.
One thing I noticed while using Flash is that instances of symbols placed into a scene don't actually animate when you use the "Play" function -- that is to say, when you press Enter and the playhead starts moving along the timeline from its current position. They remain at the very first frame of their respective animations. In order to show the proper animations of symbols, you have to use the Test function (CTRL - Enter) to actually compile a working .swf of the thing.
This wasn't much of an issue until I tried to export in .gif format and I got this same issue. Instances of symbols don't animate, they only seem to work in compiled .swf's.
FileDropper link to the working file I'm using: http://www.filedropper.com/flashbottle
Result .gif: http://i.imgur.com/PZVXST7.gif
Since the use of symbols in the Flash workflow seems to be a rather common occurrence it seems unthinkable that Flash wouldn't support their usage with whatever mechanism they use to export animated .gif's. Is there some sort of silly mistake I'm making or checkbox I need to toggle? Or is the functionality simply not there?

Thank you for your reply!
I check exported GIFs in various browsers and XnView viewer.
It's definitely not a preview issue - i have 32Gb of RAM and Nvidia Quadro 4000 GPU on my system.
I believe the issue is with transparency, because i'm able to export GIFs with solid background just fine
GIF export dialogue window has 'Transparency' checkbox, so it looks like it should be possible to export an animated GIF with transparent background, but for some reason i'm getting all frames at the same time
thank you

Animated GIF Export issues

I have a simple Flash animation which I'd like to be made
into a transparent GIF.
When I do the GIF export, only the first frame of my
movieclips (which are placed in the main timeline) get rendered. It
seems like Flash only records the main timeline preview output into
the GIF file, and does not play movieclip objects. You would expect
the GIF recording to be of the same preview as when you hit
ctrl+enter (essentially final playback).
Because of this, the GIF export is pointless. The only way to
use it is to have all your animations occur in the main timeline,
and not within movieclips. It doesn't work for me (and for most
people?), because I need to easily scale my animations, which is
doable by just resizing a movieclip.
Is there a way around this in Flash? Am I missing something?
I've had to use a 3rd-party tool (Magic SWF2GIF) to do the
GIF recording.
My other issue is Flash cannot export transparent GIF's it
seems. Because of this, I have to rely on more 3rd-party GIF tools,
most of which are rubbish.
In the end, I've had to take snap shots of every individual
frame and edit each frame as individual files in Photoshop to do
all the cropping and transparency just right. Real pain when you
are talking 50 frames, and having to do multiple animations.
Is there a way to export transparent GIF's in Flash?
Seems kind of dumb that I have all this high-end software and
loads of tools... and I still have to edit things frame by
frame.

Thank you for your reply!
