Problems/help with animated GIF exports

I am an experienced Photoshop user. I recently upgraded to CS5 (Windows) and have been attempting to produce animated gif files.
After reading a few tutorials on the topic, I have been able to:
Create a PSD with a few jpg images as layers;
Move the layers to the animation window;
Set the cycle times and optimize the animation window; and,
Use the Save for Web Devices dialog to create the GIF file.
Everything appears to be normal throughout this process. However, the exported GIF file appears as a dark gray frame when I open it in IE, or upload it to my image hosting site.
Anybody else experiencing this type of problem?
Thanks

No, my Photoshop CS5 saves animated GIFs just fine, and I did just what you said. For example (you have to click on an image here to see it animate):
Can you post your image here? Maybe it could be a problem with your browser not animating the image properly? What version of IE do you use?

Help with animated gif messages

I can't seem to get animated GIFS with music as a SMS or a MMS to play. They are sent from people with phones like the Razor, LG, Envy etc. on the same network as mine ( Verizon ). When I get the message it will show the GIF for about 1 second then it dissapears, then the music plays. It will also give me the option to open the attachments or slides but the GIFS don't open . I can get Video messages from anyone and the videos plays fine. In the past when I opened one of these messages it would kill the audio on my phone and I would have to do a hard reboot for my phone to work even though I could still receive SMS and MMS messages, just the audio on the phone died. I was told the new OS 4.5 would correct this. The only thing it fixed was now if I get a animated GIF message it still does not play but my phone does work and I don't have to reboot. Is there a setting I need to change or is this not supported? I have 2 Curves 8330 OS 4.5.0.77 BIS on Verizon with the unlimted BB plan.
Thanks,
Leo

Help with animated gif please!

Can you embed an animated gif into emails as a signature? i
have tried it in entourage and outlook, but the gif seems to stick
on the first frame. The animation works fine if viewed in a browser
etc. I have also made the email html format.
any ideas?

Open your browser and browse to and select the animated GIF
image. Do you
see the animation? If not, then you have not properly
exported your GIF as
an animated one. What graphics program are you using?

[need help with animated gif - shows up fuzzy on IE]

Hi,
I created an animated gif in photoshop cs3 with combination of text and images in Mac. For some reason, the text on the banner looks fuzzy on Internet Explorer. Do any of you know what is wrong with the banner? Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks

How does it look in Firefox on Windows? By only testing one browser on Windows, you cannot determine if it is a matter of the browser or the overall settings for the computer.
Do you have a page to share so that we can see the fuzziness or can you post the GIF file here?

Help with animated gif

I am making an animated gif that is 35 sec long. When I try to Save for the Web it looks like everything is fine but it only saves 22 secs of the gif. I believe there are 1034 frames but it only save 500. Any ideas on why this would be happening would be greatly appreciated.

Problem with animated .gif

I have a problem with animated gifs. So if I set a animated gif as background and a button is over it as in the example below, then everytime the animation goes on the button disappears until I go over it with the mouse. So what can I do to solve this?
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
public class FrameBackImage {
          public static void main(String args []){
               final JFrame frame = new JFrame("Frame");
               frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
               frame.setSize(400, 400);
               frame.setResizable(false);
               frame.setLayout(null);
               java.net.URL imageURL = ImageApp.class.getResource("animatedw.gif");
               ImageIcon imageIcon = new ImageIcon(imageURL);
             final JLabel label = new JLabel(imageIcon);
             label.setBounds(0,0 , 400, 400);
             frame.getLayeredPane().add(label);
             JButton button = new JButton ("Exit");
             button.setBounds(200, 129, 60, 60);
             button.setBackground(Color.black);
             button.setForeground(Color.white);
             frame.add(button);
             button.addActionListener(
             new ActionListener(){
                    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
                         System.exit(0);
             frame.validate();
              frame.setVisible(true);
}

In the future, Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
Your usage of the getLayeredPane() method is something I've never seen before, so I don't know if thats the problem or not.
How to display a "background image" is asked all the time in the Swing forum. So to familiarize yourself with the forum you can try searching the Swing forum. Using the keywords I highlighted would be a good place to start.

Firefox slows down when opening a site with animated gifs

After updating to FF4, I find that whenever I try to open a page that has multiple animated gifs on it, firefox slows down tremendously. CPU usage goes up to 50-75% and all animated gifs are moving really slow.
It's not only large animated gifs, but it also occurs on forums that have animated smilies. I never had this problem in FF 3.6 nor any other browser (IE, Chrome, Safari). If I start FF4.0 without any add-ons or plugins it does the same thing. Even with a fresh install. Does anyone have a solution to his problem? Since I can't use some of my favorite sites now with FF, without my pc slowing everything down.

Disabling the hardware acceleration worked for me!

Transparency problem with animated gif within AJAX overlay

Hello all,
I have designed and animated a loading spinner in Photoshop CS3, which needs to sit within an Ajax overlay, with transparency set to 75.
I tried exporting the spinner as an animated gif with a transparent background (using Save for Web), but it gave the animation a pixelated outside edge. Does anybody know how to remedy this?
As the Ajax overlay is semi-transparent, I tried exporting the animated gif with a black background and transparency set to 75%. I ticked the transparency box in the export window, but once it is loading in the Ajax it doesn't seem to be transparent (see here: http://www.chrisgartside.co.uk/flash/Screenshot.jpg)
Any help is very much appreciated.
Best wishes,
ruth.

I forgot to mention that the Ajax pop-up is fired up from a Flash gaming applet.
Thanks very much in advance.
ruth.

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

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.

Problems with animated gifs in Premiere Pro

Hi everyone,
I need some help with my video project - I made some animated gifs that I want to add to the end credits. Importing them etc. works just fine, but in the video, the images always show up with a white background (white "box" around the animted figure), although the gifs definitely have a transparent background to start with. If I import them e.g. as png stills, they are transparent.
Am I doing something wrong? Or is that a Premiere thing&do I have to re-create the animations inside Premiere?
I couldn't find anything on this in the forum and I am grateful for any help/suggestions!
Thanks&have a great weekend!
Patrick
I am using Premiere Pro CS 5 on a Mac. The gifs were created in Photoshop.

Welcome to the forum.
When Still Images show as black, the first things that I investigate is the pixel x pixel dimensions of the images. With many Stills, even if they are within the allowed pixel x pixel range, one's computer's resources can be used up, and an alternate workflow might be useful - Scale the Images to match the Frame Size of the Sequence, prior to Import, in a program, like Photoshop. This ARTICLE might be helpful.
The second thought is that the video driver is no longer performing properly, and needs to be updated. What is make/model of your graphics card, and what is the current number/date of your installed video driver?
Good luck,
Hunt

Splash page with animated gif only question

Hello all:
I have a splash page (index.html) that is designed using an animated gif created in photoshop. The rest of my site is Css/XHTML, but has some divs containing animated gifs. I have two questions;
1: By using only the animated gif on the splash page, am I limiting or hindering my SEO (google, microsoft, yahoo) ranking opportunities as there is no "content" on the page that the spiders/bots can see? I went ahead and included some "content" but hid it by coloring the type the same as the background color hoping that might do something, but obviously I'm a SEO newbie so any suggestions are more than welcomed. I will include the code at the end of this post, and my site is: http://reynolds-marketing.com.
2. Is there a way to pre-load the animated gifs on my pages so that they play more smoothly and efficiently?
TIA for any of your help. Murman

My guess is yes, but that is just my opinion. I believe the text/background same color idea was really in vogue back in the late 90's and we all heard that it was the kiss of death for SEO that the SE's hated them so much you got de-listed, not sure if that is a fact or not.
My bigger concern would be how many people you are losing by making them wait to get to where they want to go. I have told many a client that in some sense, the interent is too big, you have too much competition and people have thin patience for things like splash pages. The ooo and aaa effect of animated gifs is long dead...again, in my opinion.
I dont know the answer to your load question...
