GIF Animations Not Repeating

For some reason, GIF animations aren't repeating for me ... I see one rotation of them, then it just stays still. Which is a pain. Hoping someone knows a fix of some kind!

Gentlemen, I very much appreciate what you're trying to do, but I know enough about the files in question to know that I don't need to send you examples. I was asking a technical question about Safari, of which I know little. Not about GIF files, of which I know plenty. I appreciate your candor, but you are not dealing with someone who is asking the wrong question.
However, after just downloading the new Safari 3.0 beta, the problem's gone! Heh. What timing. Thank you for at least trying to help.

  • .gif animations not working and image thumbnail issues

    Hello,
    I hope that someone can help me out.
    I have animated .gif images on my iWeb site and they just recently stopped working, and I cant figure it out.
    These are my issues:
    Recently iWeb wont show my animated .gifs as they should. (I have found that this still kind of works in IE, but not FF or Safari) In iWeb my .gifs show as a video clip, but once I publish the site, it only shows up as a single image and not an animation. Also the options on my site that allow users to switch back and forth between showing the miniature thumb nails of my images for the slideshow and not showing them do not show up all the time. The .gifs are also not showing up inside the miniature thumbnails as well.
    Also note: Those miniature little thumbnails show up very fuzzy as well. This doesn't seem like it should be like that. Am I over looking something important?
    Not sure what I have to do to fix these issues. I have looked to see if I am missing an update or something, but it appears that I am up to date.
    Can anyone help me out?

    Hi Neil,
    I have the same problem.
    I created a short title animation with EDGE, you can download it here : https://creative.adobe.com/share/829a6ca9-7f26-4ee5-8120-a5da388e3c33
    Once in inDesign, I create a web content overlay that I link to my html animation.
    I turn ON auto play and set a delay of 0.25 sec. The article that contains the animation is the third of my folio.
    If I preview the article ONLY, the animation fires correctly however if I preview the whole folio, the title appears but with no animation what so ever.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    J.

  • Animated gif is not moving in the FireFox 3.6.3 ?

    why animated gif is not moving in FireFox 3.6.3 ?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Same problem in save mode. An animated gif will not start. No offending plugins or themes are installed.
    But if I right-click on the animation and then on "Grafik-Info anzeigen" (maybe "show grafic info") then as soon as the info window starts the animation, it is also started in the browser!
    And this error does not happen on all machines. My Win7 64bit does it right. My XP 32bit (freshly updated) freezes the animation. Weird world.

  • SOME gif images not animating

    I recently noticed some gif's not starting and only showing the first frame until I press view image. The animation mode is already set to normal, I just checked. Besides, some images animate normally...

    Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
    Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
    If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
    To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

  • Gif animation - Sub animation + randomizing

    Hello everyone!
    I want to create a repeating, pixel art GIF animation. The basic idea is nyan cat swapped for a spaceship, in my usual video resolution. Now I made all the assets, and I thought I can use the star animation as a sub animation, so I can tell it to appear in random heights, move from right to left and start at a random frame, so I made a GIF just for that. But I fail to see any sort of controls that let me do what I was planned. Any ideas/methods to solve this? Perhaps I should use an other program?

    Wrong program. Get After Effects. PS does not allow nesting and retiming you would have to "expand", that is copy&paste the bits and pieces to the relevant frames in your then new frame timeline for your final GIF.

  • 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,

  • 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 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.

    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.

  • 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.
