How do I add an animated GIF to my signature

I am trying to add an animated GIF to my out going email. For my signature. How can do this?

Don't worry! Don't worry everyone I worked it out. Actually I just read the Mail support page segment on adding a signature. You just add a signature as usual but when you add the text, you can drag and adrop a pic/logo into that box. Ah, duh!

  • How can I edit an animated GIF?

    is there a way to add a animated GIF into your work, when I try to add one I am told that it will be a single layer. I downloaded a GIF from the web and trying to incorparate it into a web site header.

    Well, you are in luck, sort of. You have all the apps needed to create an animated gif. However that does not mean that the image you download was already or not. It could be a single image.
    A couple of things to go over
    1) When downloading from the net make sure you have permission to use that image before sharing with the public, as the image is protected by copyright laws in the US. (Images that state - Permission to use commercially, copyright free, common law licence - Generally are meant to share with the general public, granted that you post somewhere who you got the image from(the Least anyone can do it give credit where credit is due)
    2)Since you have the Master Collection or the CS4 Master Suite, you have every app that is need to create your own works of art. Photoshop, After Effects, Premeire pro are all capable of creating animated gifs. With the latter two being easier than photoshop.
    Since you have CS4 photoshop and this is the photoshop forum, we will keep it there.
    The version of Photoshop that comes in the master suite is the extended version of photoshop which is require for most of the animations it can do. Though, think and am not certain that the standard version can create animated gif files.
    OK, ok we got a lot of mumbo jumbo above so lets get into how to create an animated gif.
    First we need to determine if we are editing an animated gif or creating one from scratch. To load an animated gif all you need to do is file>open then select the file. Simple enough.
    The file will place each frame onto its own layer and if you have the animation panel open (If not select Windows>Animation ) Each frame will be placed there as well.
    Lets say we are going to edit a frame or better yet introduce a new frame. In the upper right hand corner of the animation panel is a small icon. Clicking it will pop up a menu. In that menu select delete animation. Don't worry your layers are safe, it only removes the frames from the animation panel.
    Now you can either change something in one of the layers or add a layer where you want the frame intoduced.
    When you are done you can select that same icon in the animation panel to pop up the menu and select Make frames from layers This will place all the layers back into the animation panel. This has to happen in order to save an animated gif.
    You can now use the File>save to web or File>Save to web and devices (This optiuon changed during one of the version, I don't recall so both are listed or look for something close to that)
    Select Gif for the format then the save button, where you can choose a location and file name. It will automatically add a hyphen between any words that normally are spaces for the web.
    OK, If you read the above, you probably alread realize how to create one from scratch. Just add a new layer for each frame and follow the steps above to add it to the animation panel and save for web.
    I know it sounds like a lot, but once you have done it a few times, it actually fairly simple.
    OK, Bonus round - What about After Effects and Premeire Pro?
    Well both of those apps Use a timeline instead of frames. Which makes them much simpler and more powerful for animations, since that is what they are dedicated to do.
    It is as simple as open the gif file, edit it, save it, done.
    I won't go into how the timeline works as that would require a long , long post. But once you understand it, it is much quicker and can do way more feature wise.
    One last thing, play around with it and see what it can do before commiting time to creating or editing a gif. It goes much easier once you get the hang of it.
    If you have any questions, issues, etc. just post away...
    Well, I got to go, I hope this helps.

  • How do you make an animated gif activate when a corresponding button is selected?

    I am working on a DVD menu using Photoshop and Encore. I currently have a map as a background and a gif animation of a radar ping. The radar ping has transparent parts so that it shows up in front of the map it will be placed on. I want the radar ping gif to animate when it is selected, but I cannot make it animate. When I tried to place the animated gif into the DVD, it became a static image with 50 layers, instead of an animation with 50 frames. When I replaced the gif with a static image, it still caused problems because when I made it into one of the button's highlights, the button overlapped the other buttons, causing those to highlight as well.
    Summary: Ideally, I want to add various gifs that will activate when the corresponding menu/chapter buttons are selected.
    Failing that, I would be happy just to know how to add an animated gif to my DVD menu background.

    You have two problems. The first is that an animated gif has no special status in DVD authoring. It is an anmiation. How do you get animations into a DVD project? You import them as movies - either as assets that get puit on timelines, or assets that become part of a motion background.
    Yes, Encore has a special feature of making animated thumbnails, but this is  just a fancy way of putting thumbnail-sized bits of video into a video background of a menu.
    I think you resolve the animated gif issue if you convert it to a video format Encore understands.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/using/importing-assets.html#supported_file_formats_for_impor t
    The second issue is that you want a button highlight to be an animation. Also not part of the DVD spec or what Encore will do. You can fake this, by having a button autoactivate and to go to a different menu that has the animation for that button as part of the background.  You create as many menus as you have buttons with that characteristic.
    Note that a mouseover won't autoactivate, so this doesn't work on a  computer the way solme users would like.
    Scripting is a way some authoring applications can handle such things, but Encore does not provide scripting.

  • 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 combine a jpeg image & animated gif image & save  it as GIF ?

    i have an jpeg image, & also aminated gif image, how do i place the animated gif image over (in the center of the image) a jpeg image & save it as gif file ??

    First thing you need to do is stop thinking in terms of file formats once the files are in photoshop they are all the same. The exception being vector vs raster. But in this instance the process is rteally the same so 6 on one hand a half a dozen on the other. Or as some would say Tomatoe, tomahtoe(mispelled on purpose).
    The jpeg I would assume is the background image and the gif image is the fore ground object. Open the jpeg, and then place the gif file. As long as the fore ground object has transparency, your job is pretty much done. If not, then it will be up to you to mask what you want to keep vs what you don't and apply that selection to the foregrounds layer as a mask.
    Google the net or skim the users manual for the keywords - mask, selections, quickmask, pen tool, paths. Each of these can in one way or another take care of your issue.
    It would be worth your time to also go through the numerous videos about photoshop and see how its done.
    Either go to adobe tv,
    Itunes podcasts
    or one of the following web sites:

  • How to add an animated gif (or something similar)

    I'm running Keynote 3.02.
    I'm wondering how to do the following: I want to show a book cover, that rotates through about 7 book titles, automatically.
    What is the method for doing this? Do I have to create an animated gif of the book cover, or is there a way to do this on one slide with multiple images of the book, each with a different title ?

    If the object has been assigned a build, you can select it, and change the build, by going into the Build Inspector, clicking the More Options button, then clicking on the object in the Build Order list. If it doesn't already have a build assigned, then you do have to use forward/backward.
    If the goal is to produce a complex-appearing slide, keep in mind that you can spread your builds across multiple slides, by using the "Appear" slide transition. In this fashion, you can put some builds on one slide, invisibly transition to a new but identical slide, and then do further builds. This is a useful way to simplify construction so that it is easier to do. If you are using a single slide because you need music to play across the builds, you can use a workaround to assign a soundtrack to only a subset of slides.

  • How Do I Change an Animated Gif's Iteration and Loop Settings? (Pshop/Image Ready 7.0)

    Background to Issue (NOT a PPT or Windows issue even though It will seem like that at first but read on...): I have to make Animated GIFS to be inserted into Powerpoint. I work on a Mac but the PPT presentation will be shown on PCs (non-negotiable, since I can't ask hundreds of sales reps who will be using this to install an outdated version of PPT). I already learned that I need to insert the Gifs while working on a PC or else it won't work). Fair enough- I can put it together on a PC, again not the issue. BUT, when I do THAT, the gifs still wn't animate unless I am in PPT 2002. Fair enough (Microsif going backwards not a surprise) So it won't work in PPT 2003 which is what the users will all have. But I need to get the presentation to them asap! I got a bit further in researching and found out that the solution is that I need to set my "Loop Flag" and "Iteration Settings" appropriately. See this link (http://www.soniacoleman.com/Tutorials/PowerPoint/animated_gifs/gifs.htm)
    BUT I am trying to find out if one can do this already somehow in Mac Photoshop 7.0 or Mac Image Ready 7.0, where I made the gif and would prefer to keep making my gifs. Maybe I need to upgrade Image Ready or Pshop to CS? SO THE FINAL QUESTION IS: Is there another way to manual do this without this PC Plug-in?
    NOTE: Yes, I know how how to set the loop to "once" or "forever" in Image Ready when I make my Gifs but apparently I need to do this somewhere else...where the iteration setting lives too?

    There is an ImageAnimator so you may not need to use byte array instead.

  • How do I stop playing animated GIF's within web pages?

    Various websites display numerous images available for download. Some of those images are animated GIF files. These files take time to load and chew up a lot of my limited upload/download usage. IE Explorer let me see a single image for the GIF but doesn't load or play the GIF. How do I get that same setting in Mozilla Fire Fox?

    hello vyoumans,
    i found a couple different ways this can be done.
    1. this firefox addon, [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/toggle-animated-gifs/ Toggle animated GIFs], seems to work pretty good. ctrl+m toggles the animations on and off.
    2. if you don't want to install an addon, you can go to your browser configuration file. type ''about:config'' in the address bar and find the entry ''image.animation_mode''. double click it and set its value to ''none''. this should disable all GIF animations

  • How to make my 'preload' animated gif to repeat?

    I have my 'preload' animated gif in my psd file.
    When I go to play it, it only plays the frames once.
    How do I make it repeat and not stop?
    I am using Photoshop CS5.

    Actually, you can. There is a Looping Option that you can set.. either ONCE or FOREVER.
    Just FYI.
    Thanks though.

  • Why doesn't the "View image info" show how many frames are in animated gifs?

    When I right click on an image, then click "View Image Info" it used to show how many frames were included in an animated gif. This stopped working in Firefox 4. Why is that?

    I'm not too sure what I did but it works now.

  • How do I create an animated gif?

    I have the CS4 Master Collection and am not sure what to use to make them. I used to make them in ImageReady 7.0 by just dropping the images into a folder and then importing as slices or something like that, it has been awhile. Then I would adjust the time and save/export them and done.
    Can anyone tell me what to use? Otherwise, I have to pull out the old PC and see if it still runs and make it there but, I really need to learn how to do it in CS4.
    Thanks very much.

    If you have the master Collection I would say the very best place would be Adobe After Effects then I would say a more familiar way.
    But I believe you made an image sequence and placed that into Imageready which you can in Photoshop as well.
    But it might be nice if you explain what the nature of the animated gif is comprised of and what it does.

  • How Do I Load An Animated GIF Into PictureBox Control From Byte Array?

    I'm having a problem with loading an animated GIF int a picturebox control in a C# program after it has been converted to a base64 string, then converted to a byte array, then written to binary, then converted to a base64 string again, then converted to
    a byte array, then loaded into a memory stream and finally into a picturebox control.
    Here's the step-by-step code I've written:
    1. First I open an animated GIF from a file and load it directly into a picturebox control. It animates just fine.
    2. Next I convert the image in the picturebox control (pbTitlePageImage) to a base64 string as shown in the code below:
                    if (pbTitlePageImage.Image != null)
                        string Image2BConverted;
                        using (Bitmap bm = new Bitmap(pbTitlePageImage.Image))
                            using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
                                bm.Save(ms, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
                                Image2BConverted = Convert.ToBase64String(ms.ToArray());
                                GameInfo.TitlePageImage = Image2BConverted;
                                ms.Close();
                                GameInfo.TitlePageImagePresent = true;
                                ProjectNeedsSaving = true;
    3. Then I write the base64 string to a binary file using FileStream and BinaryWriter.
    4. Next I get the image from the binary file using FileStream and BinaryReader and assign it to a string variable. It is now a base64 string again.
    5. Next I load the base64 string into a byte array, then I load it into StreamReader and finally into the picturebox control (pbGameImages) as shown in the code below:
    byte[] TitlePageImageBuffer = Convert.FromBase64String(GameInfo.TitlePageImage);
                            MemoryStream memTitlePageImageStream = new MemoryStream(TitlePageImageBuffer, 0, TitlePageImageBuffer.Length);
                            memTitlePageImageStream.Write(TitlePageImageBuffer, 0, TitlePageImageBuffer.Length);
                            memTitlePageImageStream.Position = 0;
                            pbGameImages.Image = Image.FromStream(memTitlePageImageStream, true);
                            memTitlePageImageStream.Close();
                            memTitlePageImageStream = null;
                            TitlePageImageBuffer = null;
    This step-by-step will work with all image file types except animated GIFs (standard GIFs work fine). It looks like it's just taking one frame from the animation and loading it into the picturebox. I need to be able to load the entire animation. Does any of
    the code above cause the animation to be lost? Any ideas?

    There is an ImageAnimator so you may not need to use byte array instead.

  • How do you create an animated GIF in Premiere Pro?

    I tried using Premier Pro to edit an animated GIF, but apparently that feature is no longer available?  Is there another program that will work? Help Please....
    Matt Perry
    Edited by: Kevin Monahan
    Reason: more searchable title

    So, Kevin ... question to Adobe ... considering the ability to export a .gif is pretty important (.gif is one of the most popular formats on the planet), is Adobe willing to allow us Mac users to activate Premiere Pro on a 3rd (Windows) computer?  I have an iMac (primary work computer), a MacBook Pro (my mobile backup) with Premiere installed.  Now, because Premiere Pro on Mac does not support .gif, I have to have a 3rd computer (Windows).  An unfortunate reality. 
    What can Adobe do for us users?
    Thank you.
    P.S.: Of course, it would be nice if Adobe just added the ability to export to .gif in Premiere Pro for OS X.
