.gif animation quality.

Hello, it's again my. I have a problem with my flash animation quality. I have a gif animation -
the quality should look like this.
But instead it looks like this, when I save it like a .gif animation.
How can I save my quality on gif format? (sorry for my bad English)

No such thing as a high quality animated gif if high quality means more than 256 colors and anti aliasing.
If you want to create a better looking animated gif in After Effects then you render a lossless movie from your composition and then use Photoshop or another app to turn the movie into an animated gif.
If you want to import an animated gif into AE then what you see is all there is. Gif's cannot contain more than 256 colors and anti aliasing is terrible to non existent.

How to export best quality gif animations in flash

how to export best quality gif animations in flash

GIF is a color restricted format with on/off support for transparency. There's really no settings you can tweak to output a better GIF. You have a drop-down during GIF sequence export to allow transparency, select the amount of colors (up to 256) and you can choose dither to save a little filespace. The only 2 things in there that really matter are dither and amount of colors used to export.
If your content is very similar (e.g. not a lot of complex gradients/shadows/etc) and is limited in color use turning down the amount of colors used and dithering is your only option.
Make sure you're exporting the GIF via "Publish Settings" so you get a single animated GIF and not file->export->movie because this creates a separate sequence of GIF images for each frame.

Animated gif, bad quality after exporting.

Hi,
I've done this image:
http://kpopgames.com/images/widgetv2.gif
It's an animated gif, but I noticed that the quality became bad. Especially in the face of the characters there. How can I fix this?
Here are the individual pictures used in this gif:

http://www.kpopgames.com/images/widget1.jpg
http://www.kpopgames.com/images/widget2.jpg
The third pic looks okay, but the first and second one are really bad..
I've also tried optimizing it and this is the best one I got:
http://www.kpopgames.com/widgetv2.gif
it's better but it's still bad in quality.

It's actually good quality for a GIF animation. You'll get better results by exporting it in SWF format. SWF handles JPEG's better than GIF format, whch is limited to 256 colors. To export in SWF (Flash) format, choose File > Save As. Choose Adobe Flash. Click on the Options button to set the speed.

White halo around exported flash gif animation

I am working on a Imac using Flash CS5. I can create a Flash animation with a transparent background
but there is a slight white halo around the images. How do I export a Flash animation as a gif with
absolutely no white halo at all. Is this possible? or wheneve you turn a vector to a gif there will
always be a slight white halo. I have brought the image into Photoshop and could painstakingly
use the eraser tool but there must be a way to mass assembly the process. I have tried Fireworks CS5
and Photoshop, whenever I open the Flash gif animation there is a slight white halo.
Look forward to the techy with the answer
thanks
Paul

If your document stage is white and you are not viewing the GIF on a white or light background then the halo is probably due to the antialiasing of the pixels at the edges of your graphics. The GIF format does not support alpha transparency, so you end up seeing the smoothed edges as fully opaque pixels. There are several ways to address this:
Uncheck the "Smooth" option for animated GIF export. This disables antialiasing, but sacrifices image quality.
Change your stage color to better match the background color behind the GIF. Medium gray can be an acceptable compromise for non-uniform or unpredictable backgrounds.
Use another file format that supports alpha transparency. On the web, the only real alternative is SVG, but the conversion is painful.
Manually remove those troublesome pixels from the animated GIF. Also quite painful.

Gif Animations

First off, I'd like to say I've been making gif animations in Photoshop Elements since 2.0, and I've had no problem with 6.0 either--- when I was on Windows.
For whatever reason, when I open a .gif animated image, I get an error message that says:
"This is an animated GIF. You can only view one frame. Saving over this file will result in a loss of information."
EVERY single time I open a gif, and as soon as I hit okay, it opens to the single frame locked. As I said, I've never had this problem with Photoshop Elements 6.0 in Windows... Any suggestions/ help please?

Your post is unclear on some important points. When you say "when I was in Windows" does that mean you are talking about a mac now? What version of PSE are you talking about?
If you mean PSE 8 for mac, you would be better off downloading a program like the free Giffun from stone.com and using that for animated gifs. For one thing the frame rate has been broken in the mac version of PSE in both 6 and 8.

Loading .gif animations into Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac

For years I used Photoshop Elements 2 for Windows to make .gif animations with great success.
Then I switched to a Mac and bought Elements 8 for Mac. Now, I am finding out that I can not load any
of the animations I made using Elements 2 into 8. (And yet I can load animations I made using 8 into 2.)
In fact, I can not load any .gif animations into 8, other than if I make one and save it
as .psd. 8 allows me to make them, but not load them as .gifs.
My question: Is there an easy way to load .gif animations into PS Elements 8 so a
person can work on the individual frames? Am I going to have to convert any .gif animation I
want to import into 8 first into .psd? All I seem to get when I try to load a .gif is the message
"This is an animated gif. You can only view one frame." I have searched manuals and the
Net looking for a specific method of using PSE8 to load gif animations intact (not just one frame).
Is it possible? Thanks. (I also have noticed that Elements 8 will not allow me to change the frame
speed -- it is unchangeable at .2)

Dear Ms. Brundage -
I followed the directions detailed in your blog entitled "Moving a Catalog from Windows to Mac" as well as your description of the process on page 58 of your book "Photoshop Elements 9 - the missing manual."
I installed PE9 for Windows and converted my catalog. I then backed up that catalog to an external hard drive. I then connected the hard drive to my MAC on which I also installed Photoshop Elements 9 for MAC. I opened the Organizer and tried to restore that converted catalog. However, for each file in the converted catalog, a dialog box opened that said "Could not restore file: /Volumes/Name of External Hard Drive/Filename.JPG."
I then made a second backup of the converted catalog using Photoshop Elements 9 for Windows and then tried to restore that catalog again on the MAC using Photoshop Elements 9 for MAC, again to no avail.
Do you have any idea what the problem may be?
Thanks again.

Add static background image to all frames of gif animation

First, I'm not a fireworks regular. I use it when I have to to get something done (mostly web optimazations). I would use it more but, frankly in many cases the UI is counter intuitive to everything else adobe makes.
Here is my problem...
I need to add (not replace) a static background to ALL existing frames(states) in a fireworks gif animation (with alpha) , the end product gif will be an element in the Edge web animation...details
I have an animated seq of a rotating object that was created in 3ds max and rendered as a png seq with alpha.
I opened the SEQ "as animation" in fireworks. I set the frame rate. It plays fine. So far so good....
I imported an image that I want to be BEHIND the animated seq on ALL frames. I tried puting it on a sub layer behind, i tried puting it on it's own layer behind, but it ONLY shows on the first frame (state).
I tried using "share with all states" but it replaces the SEQ images already on the "states" instead of adding it behind them like in the arrangement of the layers.
So first, can this be done and if so how?
Second, why is this process so counter intuitive in fireworks? I mean if a layer is behind something then it should be a simple button click or check box etc to say "show on all frames (states)", you know like any other product adobe makes. Even "image ready" made more sense than this. My thought process was that since I needed to end up in fireworks to create and optimize the gif that i should be able to put it together there also but it's turning out to be a lot harder than it should. I guess I can just composite my elements in AE (which is a piece of cake compared to fireworks) and then render another SEQ that I import to fireworks to create the optimized gif. While I'm a fan of the "creative suite" concept, one of my biggest complaints about the "suite" is the lack of master oversite so the common functions, keyboard shortcuts, and fundimental UI concepts are consitant accross all the apps so it functions as a "suite" and not just a collection of seperate applications. I know that demanding that all applications follow certian rules would slow development, in the long run it would make it a lot easier for the end user to spend more time being "creative" and less time trying to figure out why something doesn't work like it does in all the other apps. Just my $.02
Thanks for any help and or explaination
Joel H

Thanks for the response.
You know I tried that exact thing the only difference being I didn't change the layer names. So not naming the layers would keep that from working ?? Also as you eluded to draging layers to position them in fireworks is a delicate operation. It always seems to take 2 or 3 times to get it to drop where you want it. I named the layers and it works as you said. Unfortunately I was really pressed for time so I had already given up on fireworks and just composited the SEQ with the BG layer in AE and kicked out another PNG SEQ and then open that "as animation" in Fireworks and then optimized and exported as a gif. So there are allways several ways to do things.
Thanks again,
Joel H

How Can I Edit Gif Animation

I have a gif animation of a cat playing a sax. In ImageReady I want to edit it to replace the sax with a microphone so I "Placed" a vector gif of the microphone- after erasing the sax and cloning to fill in where needed. The problem is that when I attempt to move the microphone in the first layer, it happens to all the layers and if I try to move it to a new position in any other layer, it moves in the others too. How can I make it "stick" in each layer, in different positions? I have tried to lock all the layers but the one I am working on... I just don't know what I need to do. thanks

Here is one fairly quick and easy way that should work with Win98. Create a new object, but not a Lookout object. Click on the activeX tab and look in the Recommended folder. There you should find Microsoft Web Browser. Select this as your new object to create. Change the name if you want, but leave everything else blank. Now from Windows Explorer simply drag the GIF file and drop it in the object display. The animation should begin doing whatever it does right away.

Importing GIF Animations - Help!

Am I doing something wrong? I created some animations in
Photoshop and saved them as GIF files. They view great in HTML, but
when I import the images into Captivate, the timing on some of the
animations are messed up. I played around with the timing in
Captivate, but it made no difference. I also made the animations
play longer in Photoshop and then imported them again, but again,
it made no difference. Also, I want the background of the
animations to be transparant, and when I import the images, the
background changes black?
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thankyou.

HI yankeebrit and welcome to our community
As for the timing, I'm guessing you have an option in
Photoshop to determine or configure the speed? I have played with
an older application called Microsoft GIF Animator and you are able
to configure the duration of each animation frame there. Often, a
GIF animation is somewhere around 10 frames per second.
As for the background color, I'm guessing that black (or near
black) is set as the transparent color in Photoshop? I don't
believe the transparency will come through. So probably the best
you can do is to set the background color to match whatever you are
placing the image against.
Hopefully something here was helpful... Rick

Importing gif animations into Elements 12 on Mac

Ok, I have searched quite extensively for a specific, accurate answer and am not
clear about the conflicting responses I have encountered. To wit: I bought Elements 2
for a PC several years ago. It had two nice features for my enjoyment of making .gif animations.
(1) It allowed me to import the .gif animations AND all the layers. (2) It allowed me to control
the speed when I made my own animations and saved them in .gif format.
However, when I bought Elements 8 for my iMac, I discovered I could not load .gif animations
and get the frames/layers, nor could I choose any speed except .2.
Ok, these are my specific questions: If I order Elements 12 to run on my iMac (OS X 10.9.2)
will it allow me to load the entire .gif animation and show the frames/layers, AND will it allow me
to choose my own speed when saving a .gif animation.
I know if I save an animation in .psd format that I can reload it, showing the layers. That is not
what I want to do. I want to save in .gif format and load in .gif format. Thanks!

PSE12 should be able to open layered gifs with all the original layers intact. You need to use:
File >> Save For Web
When the dialog opens if you select GIF from the top dropdown list the information for sped is normally grayed out. However if you put a checkmark in the box “Animate” the fields for frame delay and looping become live. You can then change the speed and have looping forever. Then re-save.
Why not download the trial version from the link below and use it free for 30 days. You can then see if it fully meets your needs.

Quit multi-posting and cross-posting questions. Keep the discussion in a single posting so everybody know what has been suggested. And that would be in the Swing posting since this is a Swing related question.

An animated GIF can be dragged to a TextEdit file or a browser window. You can't put an animated gif into a pdf file, or even ID.
