How do I create an ANIMATED GIF for my Website Logo?

Hi,
I would like to make a turning logo for my website. The problem is that I don't know which software to use and how.
Is there an Adobe program which is easy for creating an Animated GIF or equivalent moving logo...
You can see my static logo here: Online Radio
Thank you,
Freeway

Help creating an animated gif for a navbar!!

Hey guys, I am very new to fireworks and dreamweave and am having a problem that is making my head spin! I have to create a simple animated .gif for a navigation bar (which will be made in dreamweaver). The navigation bar should function similar to this: http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~baronson/ITI320/Exercise2/functionality.html. Essentially, all that is happening is I create this animated image and in dreamweaver, when I create the AP NavBar, I set the mouseover to that image. My problem is that in comparison to this website's mouseover image ( http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~baronson/ITI320/Exercise2/images/navi/audience_OVER.gif ) my animated gif has multiple layers and states, where as his only has one layer. I can't seem to figure out how to include both the text, and the gif image, and incorporate them under the same layer.
A follow up question after having found how to incorporate both into the same state, would I have to lasso out each piece of my animated gif for the individual state I want to have it applied to?
Any help/pointer to where the information can be found would be greatly appreciated. I've read through the manuals and watched many of Babbage's videos but haven't been able to figure this out. Thanks!

Your gif doesn't need to have multiple layers, but it does need to have multiple states. To save yourself a lot of confusion, create the animated gifs first, and then export them. Create your navbar in the usual way, with simple rolloveres or swap images. Export the navbar.Rename the animated gifs with the names of the over state of the navbar images, and then delete (or mone to another folder) the over state images of the navbar. Move the renamed gif animations into the image folder of the navbar. Preview in browser. The animated gifs should have replaced the original over state of the buttons.

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....

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.

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 create full width photos for a website with Photoshop - Fireworks - Dreamweaver CS3 ?

Greetings & Help!
I'm trying to create a full width photo layout using Photoshop or Fireworks CS3 and then end with Dreamwaver CS3 without the photo's being tall.
Exactly as the following websites - which all seem to be using the same size of photo or very close to it.
This site is static with full width photos that are not tall.
http://www.jenniferhandyproperties.com/selling
This site is static for the most part and full width photos that are not tall
http://www.gnvpartners.com/web/
This site is Flash with full width photos that are not tall.
expodesigncenter
I would love to create a flash site just like expo but at this point I would settle for a static photo with the same size being the same on each page.
Also I would like my site to be a liquid layout so the photo and everything else (text, Links etc) on the page flows correctly.
The problem...
I'm trying to use photo's from Istockphoto.com. The size of the photo's they offer are
425 x 282 px (5.9" x 3.9")
849 x 565 px (11.8" x 7.8")
1698 x 1131 px (5.7" x 3.8")
I'm selecting horizontal photo's. I do not know how to match the same width, height and appearence as the websites I mentioned above.
If I choose a photo that fits the width then the length is too long. Also if I choose a large photo and have to crop it then most of the detail of the photo is lost.
I'm attempting to create a mock-up for my web in Fireworks CS3 and after search Adobe and www I came across the mock up should be 1004px which would end up being 1024 with vertical scroll bar and small margins.
I also have Photoshop & Flash CS3 but should mention (if you haven't already guess it by now) I am a rookie when it comes to creating a website.
So if you can offer a solution in "Non-Tech Terms" I would appreciate it.
Thank you in advance for your time.

In the second example, the photo is set to background with a tile. The other parts are over top of the photo and done with layers with a background color setting.

How to create an animated gif with CS4?

Trying to create an animated gif from 8 images using FW CS4. Can't find "how to" via online FW help. Have done it before with version 8 -- followed the in-house Help db but CS4 doesn't have in-house db. I found a tutorial: http://www.entheosweb.com/website_design/animated_gifs.asp, but talks about opening Frames panel (Windows > Frames) and I can't even find the Frames panel in CS4!
Just trying to create simple animated gif as temporary portfolio. Would also like to click on a different link for each image as it rotates if that's possible but main thing is just to create the gif.
Thanks so much in advance!

For the first part of your question
File > Open, then at the bottom of the dialog Tick the open to Open As Animation.
Then browse/select multiple images, then Open.
This will automatically add each image to a State (Window > State, previously called Frames).
Then adjust the Frame Rate of each State. The default is 7th/100 (a sec). You should see the number 7 to the right of each State. Double click to adjust as desired. 100 = 1 second, 200 = 2 seconds and so on.
Once the animation is configured, go File > Save As > Animated Gif.

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.

Can you create an animated gif in LabVIEW?

Hello,
I was wondering if there was a function within LabVIEW which can create an animated .gif file. Most of my online searches result in "how tos" for putting pre-existing gifs on the front panel. I don't need to be able to display the gif anywhere in LabVIEW (FP nor BD), I'd just like to be able to create the file. The "write gif file" vi which is buried deep in the LabVIEW program files did not seem to be what I'm looking for (why is that little guy so buried anyway?).
I have an array of all the image data I want to put in the image (which were all created in LabVIEW. They are all FP control images). It's looking like LabVIEW can't do this, so right now I just have been saving them all to a folder as png's so that I can export them to another program to make the animated image elsewhere. I'd prefer if LabVIEW could just do it though, so is there a way?
I'm using Labview 2012 SP1, but I do have access to a few newer versions if that's what it takes.
Thanks

GerdW
>> the easiest solution is to use a 3rd party tool to convert your folder of PNGs into an animated GIF. It's just one SystemExec call…
That's what it was looking like the answer would be. Thanks.
I'm basically creating a series of images on an intensity graph. As they are generated, I'm grabbing the image data and throwing them in an array. I hadn't thought of looking into making a video. I guess I figured a GIF would be simplest (I recently made some gifs in matlab and it was pretty simple, I was in that mindset).
ToeCutter
>> You could go find the file format for GIF and implement a routine to write it from LabVIEW
That seems a bit beyond me and probably not worth the time it would take me to figure it out. This GIF isn't really that important for what I'm doing. Thank you though.

Creating a animated gif with transitions..

Hello all,
I am creating a animated gif with a set number of pics. They will change every couple of seconds transitioning from dark to light very quickly until you see each pic, from picture to picture..
Kind of like something you would see in flicker....
I have not used flash in awhile, so was wondering how to go about this..
Is this a pretty easy thing to do in flash (not to time intensive)?
Is there a particular tool for this?
SInce there is no movement here is this something that I can also create in Dreamweaver?
I would like to place this on a web page I am working on, and I am thinking I could just place it where it needs to go in Fireworks before i bring it into dreamweaver...
Thanks in advance!

You can create an animated gif using Flash, but it will be much simpler in Photoshop or Fireworks. See this technote:

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 do i create an apple id for my 12 yr old?

Welcome to the community.
Unfortunately, you cannot do that. The first hurdle that you are going to face, is that mobile devices, by virtue of being prone to loss, will always require that a password is entered before a purchase of any kind is made.
If your concern about the password, is related to your privacy in regard to your mail, contacts and calendar information rather than their acces to make purchases, then the best solution would be for you to use another Apple ID for iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
