Gif file won't animate in Muse's preview mode or in Muse's view in browser mode

Created a gif file with Photoshop that's 7.5MB in size. Placed the gif file on a Muse page. But, the gif won't animate in Muse's preview mode or when Muse sends the page to be viewed in browser mode. I'm using a Mac running OS X 10.9.2 and I'm a creative cloud member using Muse. Any solutions?

Step one to enable the community to help debug what you're encountering would be to provide the URL for the page where the GIF is being used. My first guess would be there are effects applied to the image (i.e. inner glow, bevel, etc.) that require Muse to re-encode the image and Muse does not support encoding animated .gif. It only supports passing animated .gif files through unchanged. (And to get an image to pass through unchanged it needs to have no effects that require rasterization applied in Muse.)
Given you've stated the GIF file is 7.5Mb I have to question your choice of .gif. At 7.5Mb this single file will take ~8 seconds to download on the average US broadband connection and will be much slower for many broadband users and most cellular users. GIF is a reasonable choice for very small short animations used sparingly, but is seldom (if ever) a good choice for larger or longer animations. Better choices for those are to use a video or a tool like Edge Animate to create a HTML5/CSS3 animation. The end result will be vastly more user friendly in terms of page load performance.
A huge percentage of first time visitors to a webpage will cancel the page load rather than waiting 8+ seconds for the page load to complete.

GIF Files Won't Resize

I have a few gif files that I inherited that were very poor quality. I've spent a lot of time cleaning them up. I need to resize them to about half their current size without resampling because I need to retain the quality. I go to Image > Resize > Image Size and enter the correct size. I then save the file, but when I reopen the file, it reverts back to the original size. I need to resize them before I can complete the project and turn it over.
I've also tried saving them as jpg and resizing, and that works. BUT when I further convert them back to a gif I'm back to the same problem. Does anyone have idea of what I could try next or what the problem is?
Thanks...

Thanks you so much for your response. I did go into RGB, and it didn't
make any difference. These files are not for the web. They will be used
inside a program currently under development. Depending on selection
criteria, a graphic may be selected and inserted into a template to be
printed along with other nongraphical elements. Since they will be
printed, the quality is important. In addition to the requirement that
they be in gif format, they must be the exact size. I was instructed
scalable files are not acceptable.
Any additional thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

GIF Files Won't Resize
Try going to Image>Mode>RGB first. However, you do realize that if you
want gifs for web use, you MUST resample to resize them? (I'd use save for
web for this, myself, rather than the PSE image size dialog.). If these
aren't for the web, are you sure you need to keep them as gif files rather
than another format?

Animated gif background - Won't animate!

I have a website which my partner and I have created. I'm really happy with what we have achieved EXCEPT I am trying to add an animated star gif background which is stationary even when I've published it. I've searched so many places for the solution that I'm now thoroughly confused as to if this is possible.
The website is http://www.billieanthony.co.uk and I have added the animated gif to the welcome page only (black/blue stars) to see if it works (which to me doesn't). I added the gif via the page inspector layout section. The other pages only have a static background.
Any comment gratefully received even if it's only to say it can't be done.
Many thanks
Kevin

Animated .gif file doesn't animate in digital publishing

Does anyone know why the animated gifs I made in Fireworks don't play when I preview my documents on the Adobe content viewer?

Making the animation work in InDesign CS6 with DPS :
Here's an article " http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/enhancing-your-dps-folios-with -edge-animations.html " that might help.

How to get a gif file to loop in PE11 with MAC 10.6.8? 480x320x72 pix/in. saved layers for web, check animate,preview plays fine but saved file doesnt

can't figure out why the gif file won't loop. Set up 5 photo frames 480x320pixels x 72pix/in in PE11, creating a layer for each. Each layer visible. Saved for web. Checked animate. The preview plays fine. But when I save the file and then click on the saved file to play, it re-opens the layers instead of playing the loop. The only SAVE option that shows up is "IMAGES ONLY"
Using photoshop elements 11 on MAC 10.6.8. Either I'm setting this up wrong or is there a hidden setting I need to change?

Thanks for the thought, Barbara B. Not sure if this counts, but emailed the file to myself [different email account, same computer] but it would not play as an email attachment. Any suggestions for a web upload where I can test your suggestion? Seems like there should be a different save option other than IMAGES ONLY but that is the only option I'm given.

Cannot generate GIF file into PDF file

Use Acrobat 8 professional to create a PDF file from html. However the GIF image is not generated in the PDF file. JPG file is OK. All the html, jpg and gif files are in the same directory. The GIF image can be viewed if the html file is opened by IE.
Here is my html file:

All the HTML and GIF files are under the same local directory. If I use IE to view the HTML file, the GIF images are loaded and displayed. The page can be printed into a PDF file with Adobe PDF writer (I thought it should be Acrobat Distiller 8). All the images (GIF and JPG) are printed too.
However, when I use "Convert current web page to an Adobe PDF file" in the IE tool bar or "Create a PDF" in the Acrobat tool bar, the GIF images are not built into the PDF. The JPG images in the same directory are built. It is strange.

How do I view .gif files?

I used to be able to view .gif files just fine on my ipad 3, but now whenever I try to view one, it asks me which program I want to open the file with (Evernote, Dropbox, or GroupMe). Anyone know how to fix this? They used to just automatically load in safari. I'd like to get this functionality back. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Right but safari used to open them automatically. What could have changed that safari doesnt automatically open them anymore? this is actually annoying while i am surfing the web. for instance, i just tried to pay one of my bills at a site i always used to be able to access from my ipad. one of the elements of the website has a gif file, and so i am unable to pay bills there anymore because the gif doesnt Auto load like it used to in safari.
is there a setting that could be causing this?

DNG file types don't show thumbnails or previews

I am having trouble with Adobe Bridge CS5 for Mac OSX. Up until last week it was working fine. I haven't made any changes to my computer or my camera or anything like that. But now .DNG files won't show their thumbnail or preview. I only see the icon for the file type in the thumbnail list, and then when I click on the thumbnail, I just see a bigger version of the file type icon in the preview window. However, JPEGs show up just fine.
I've searched through this forum and tried:
- Resetting the Workspace
- Resetting Bridge to default (Opening it with the Option key pressed)
- Purging the cache
- Checking that Camera Raw is properly installed (I have 6.7)
- Updating DNG Converter to 8.3
But no luck yet. Is this a new issue or something?

What about your old DNG photos which used to display properly? Can you still see those okay?
Have you set the Compatibility preference in DNG Converter to Camera Raw 6.6 and later?
Can you confirm that you have only one copy of Camera Raw 6.7 installed, and no other versions in alternative File Formats folders?
You could also try ACR 6.7.1:

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate. When I "Preview In Browser" through Edge it plays (I have created a shape and used the "play video full screen" snippet) in full screen mode just fine. When I "Preview Site In Browser" through Muse and click on the shape to PLAY VIDEO FULL SCREEN, it does nothing. I am new to both programs and can't figure out why it will work out of the preview window in Edge and won't work when I publish to Muse. Does anybody have an answer or a work-around for me?

Animated Gifs won't animate when forwarded to other people from mail...

I received a cute series of animated gif files via email today. I decided to forward the mail to a few friends and included myself on the list since I've had issues with forwarded gif files not animating in the past. Several friends received the files in working order. Others, including myself, received what appear to be the first frame of each of the animations but not animating at all.
Any suggestions?
Bruce

try another usb port but usb is a poor way to charge the batt.
if you look under menu/settings/batt, at the bottom it says you won't show a full charge with usb charging.
i have the phone off & charge with wall adapter for 3 hours.

Getting Animated Gif files to animate

Anyhad had any success at having animated gif files animating in Keynote 2? Mine doesn't seem to want to animate. Thx!

Another thing, did you get your animated GIF from online or from a collection on CD/DVD? If you just drag and drop an animated GIF from Safari, it will usually only save the starting image. You have to control-click (or right-click) and Save File As to save all parts of an animated GIF you download from the web. Off of a CD/DVD, there shouldn't be any such problem, though.

Already have a GIF file,put it in Edge Animate and make into an embedded web file on my site? how?

Hi there,
Im new to this particular programme. I use PS, Illustrator, AE and PP quite a lot,
However i have never used Adobe Animate and have tried for the last few days using online videos etc..
Here is my issue...
I have a GIF already. When i put it on my Wordpress site it only plays once and doesnt carry on...
I need to animate it into an embedded file i think? HTML.. etc
I have the GIF file. i also have the frames from the Gif as JPEGS...
I dont know how to simply import the gif or jpegs and render off as a html web video...
Please help me?
I know this is vague and my undertsanding of this particular programme is not great but i use other adobe products daily and feel i just need a bit of help to get me going..
Many Thanks
Sophie

Also
- how was the animated .gif created? If you are not seeing it loop the creator must have the loop playback set to 0 when it was created. Example Photoshop frame based animations has the option to set the loop to 0 or indefinite or a predefined set x of times; Fireworks also has a similar option. So somewhere along the way loop back is off in your file.
- You could open the animated gif file in Ps or Fireworks reset the loop to indefinte.
- Since you have the indivual frames you can also import them into Ps as separate layers, then control the playback options as you wish. (http://helpx.adobe.com/en/photoshop/using/creating-frame-animations.html)
- 'render off as html web video'?? Please elaborate.
How does Edge Animate fit into what you are wanting to achieve?

My nano won't play .GIF files! How can i fix this?

My iPod Nano displays all of the supported picture files except for the .GIF's
Is there something I must do to enable the viewing of a .GIF file or does it just not support it? (although everywhere I've looked it sais it is)
I have a Black 4GB iPod Nano, connected to a Windows XP with iTunes 6.0
Please Help!!!
iPod Nano 4 GB Windows XP

Thank you Kyn.
yes its an animated GIF
the GIF shows up as a regular picture, but no animation occurs.
By your post, I'm assuming the iPod does not play GIFS, but lets you just look at it as a regular picture?

Photoshop won't open GIF files.

I'm running Photoshop CS5 64-bit and I can't open GIF files. I don't know why or where to start searching for an answer. Anyone with some ideas on what I might do to try and resolve this problem will be much appreciated.
