How do I hide the mask layer when exporting as animated GIF ?

Hi,
I have designed the following logo for my football team's website.
It plays fine as a flash file but when I export it as an animated GIF file, it shows the bright pink mask layer. Obviously I don't want it to. Has anybody an idea of how to rectify this problem ?
Thanks,
Phil

Peter,
Success! I finally got my head round it Indeed, I can see now your point about the export method being preferable, it's also much quicker than my old "print PDF" method! Like I say, publishing isn't my area of expertise and I get comfortable and set in my ways with certain ways of doing things, especially with computers!
Bob,
Like I was saying to Peter, that makes sense now. I guess my not appreciating the process of PDF creation and thus my incorrect use of the terminology may have confused the issue. With regards the link you sent me, wow it certainly seems I'm not the only one who gets confused! Fortunately it seems my problem is now solved and I have learned to produce a better product!
Thanks again guys!
....now I wonder how I can make my dissertation interactive....

  • How can I hide the thought bubble when typing?

    Very simple, I'd love to know how to hide the bubble with the ellipsis that pops up for others to see when I'm typing. I'm hoping this is an easy question for someone to answer.
    I knew how to do it before, but now not so much.
    Thanks!

    Don't think there's any way of doing it in iChat but maybe some of the add-ons (such as Chax) can do it.

  • How do I hide the address bar when fullscreening "popup" windows?

    Sky TV's video player has a bad fullscreen implementation - you can make the player go true fullscreen but it reverts when it loses focus, so I can't multitask on my two monitors.
    The best workaround I've found is to use their "pop-out" player, which opens a new "popup"-style window (locked address bar, no search bar etc.) and I can then fullscreen the window itself (rather than the player). This allows me to hide
    - the window outline
    - the window title bar
    - the Windows start menu
    and it stays fullscreened when it loses focus.
    However, this does not hide the window address bar. On a normal Firefox fullscreened window this slides out of view after a short time; on the locked "popup" style window it does not.
    On the offchance that treating "popup" windows differently is a deliberate Firefox security policy... can I disable it?

    You only need to select the pop-up window after having opened the Browser Console or open the console before opening the pop-up to make that window the MostRecentWindow.

  • How do I hide the download form when downloading a file from a website?

    Hi,
    On my website, www.sb-ssa.com, when I select a menu button that downloads a PDF, a Downloads Form appears and then the PDF appears. Is is possible to hide the Downloads Form? Thank you.

    Use the function "File Dialog" and wire your type to "pattern label".
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I hide the recipients' names when I send an email to lots of people?

    I'm going to send a message to a lot of people I know, and I think some of them would rather not have their email addresses showing. How do I hide them?

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

  • How do I select the Poster Frame when exporting to video?

    PP CS6
    I cannot find how to select the frame that I want to appear as the Poster Frame in the exported video.
    I can select it I can change one by right clicking an imported video OK but not the sequence!
    I've been through every menu I can find & even Lynda.com training!
    I'm sure that there must be a way but I'm blowed if I can find it!!

    There are two common meanings for the phrase "poster frame":
    A standalone image on disk (JPG etc) which is displayed by a player before the video is loaded - commonly used by video player apps on websites (YouTube etc), InDesign and PDF files, etc. so the video asset doesn't have to be opened in order for the viewer to see what they're about to watch - although the image is normally captured from the video it doesn't have to be.
    An image resource embedded into the XMP/ID3 data of a video or audio file which can sometimes be shown in the player, but is normally set because it  appears as the thumbnail image when viewing the files in Finder or Windows Explorer. It's not part of the content stream, it's in the file header. In MP3 files it's used to store album artwork.
    You can create standalone JPEG images from PP using the camera icon below the monitor and can semi-automate the export of a still image alongside your video using presets in Adobe Media Encoder, but there's no option in PP (or via Adobe Media Encoder) to specify the embedded poster image in a rendered media file. Several third-party apps can do it, either during render (Compressor / Squeeze) or after the fact (Quicktime Pro), but support for these embedded resources depends on the wrapper for the video file.
    The ability to set a 'poster frame' in the clip bins in PP is solely there to help you organize your project assets visually - for example if the imported footage starts from black, or if you want to choose a frame where the slate is visible - but your choice has no effect on the sequences at export and isn't written back into the original footage.

  • How do I keep the date/time when exporting photos?

    When exporting photos from Photos.app on my Mac, it doesn't use the metadata that it displays in Photos--it uses the current date/time. So when I export a photo from 2010, it says it's dated 2015 when I import it into Aperture.
    Is there a way to export an image with its original timestamp? Is this a bug? Thanks.

    If you are editing tif files, then you have only a couple of choices.
    Flatten the image before you save it.  This will reduce it down to one layer. That's the smallest you can get.
    When you first open the image, look to see if it's 8 bit or 16 bit tif.  It won't help you, but if the image is 8 bit, and you save it as 16 bit, you will have dramatically increased the size of the file for nothing.  If it's started as 16, no worries!
    check if you are saving with compression.   Tif compression is lossless, so unless you did something like resize+resample, it remains the same bit density, etc, so should be just as printable as what they sent you (unless you messed up!).
    Cheers!

  • How to increase the quality when exporting an animated gif

    I'm using a very simple animation, with just 2 sentences been animated, the rest are static images. This is 250 x 250 banner and my requirements are, 50kb max, 30 seconds or shorter and 5fps, when saving as a gif, the quality I'm getting is really poor, is there a way to increase the quality and keeping the same requirements at the same time?
    Thanks,
    Trish

    No, not the way you have animated it. You are working against the limitations of the format and doing everything "wrong" one possibly could.
    a) You are using a photo to begin with
    b) You animate opacities
    c) You move stuff
    All of this will quickly exhaust the max. 256 global colors and change the dithering patterns with every frame. Unless you can come up with a more suitable design, you will have to live with the quality as it is. It's inherent in the format's limitations.

  • Flash CS4 crashes when exporting to animated .GIF!!!!

    I am running Snow Leopard and Flash CS4 10.0.2.  Everytime I try to export to an animated GIF flash will crash.  I can export to .swf, html, and a static .gif just fine.  As soon as I check that animated box and hit publish, it crashes.  This is annoying and ridiculous.  Is this an issue with Flash?
    At first I thought it was due to the fact that I was using actionscript for my animation.  I figured the .gif didn't support that so I got rid of it, still crashed.  Even just made a very simple text animation and it still would crash.  This is unacceptable.
    Anyone know a good SWF - animated GIF converter in the meantime?

    Honestly, I am really astonished that CS4 runs under Windows 8 at all. You should get your hands on a trial version of flash cc and test if you are encountering the same problems:
    if yes: then it must be related to your soundsystem (audio drivers/soundcard) or the files you try to import are non-standard/demolished
    if no (flas cc imports your files but not CS4) then I would advise moving on to a specialized Windows 8.1 forum

  • How do i hide the tool bar when watching videos?

    when expanding a video to full screen, the tool bar does not "hide" and infact, blocks the progression of the video. in order to fast forward, i have to minimize the video to do so.

    What application are you using to watch the videos, and what version of Mac OS X are you running?

  • How do I hide the buddy list when iChat opens at login?

    Can anyone tell me the answer to this question? I just find it annoying
    when I have to close the buddy list window when I login. Is there any way
    of getting it to be hidden automatically and still remain available
    to my buddies? (Not Offline) Thanks Glenn.

    Hi Glenn,
    IF you hit the red close button the Buddy List window will close but the Application will remain open.
    Using the Apple Key + 1 together will bring it back, as will the item in the Window menu of iChat.
    IT can be set up by a variation of this FAQ Ralph Johns (UK), "How Do I Use Rendezvous Only In iChat ?", 12:58pm Jan 1, 2005 CDT
    I suggest using the Menu bar icon option in the General section of the iChat Preferences to enable further access to your Buddies if the window is closed.

  • How can I hide the master page when saving a pdf?

    I designed a form that uses a master page so that I can use headers and footers without changing 10 different pages.  When I save to PDF so the form can be filled out it saves the Master Page as the first page though it has no content.  I have to save the PDF as a static file because it needs to be filled out on the iPad.
    Anyhelp please?

    Hmm,
    Not really. Acrobat must display at least one page of the form. You can set the presence of all of your Design Pages to hidden, but Acrobat will display at least one instance of the Master Page.
    The Master Page is available in LC Designer for objects that you want to repeat on more than one page. Yes, typically this includes header and footer objects.
    If you want to hide all of your main form pages, then include a blank page and display this when hiding all of the other pages. See an example here: http://assure.ly/frjYW5.
    There is also an example here for displaying/hiding pages on a loop: http://assure.ly/kyMP6l.
    Hope that helps,

  • How do you remove the number sequence when exporting layer comps to files? CS6. Windows 8.

    Hi
    I remember in CS5 there was a script you could change, but I can't remember what it was called or where it was saved.  Can anyone help please?
    I would like to stop Photoshop automatically adding a number prefix to exported layer comps.
    Thanks

    So I've found a bit in the script that I think might be it (below).  Can I remove that whole bit?  Or would changing the 4 to a 0 do the trick (I tried and it didn't do anything)... Sorry, but I'm not a coder so don't really know if I'm barking up the wrong tree or not.
    Thanks
    for ( compsIndex = 0; compsIndex < compsCount; compsIndex++ ) {
                    var compRef = docRef.layerComps[ compsIndex ];
                    if (exportInfo.selectionOnly && !compRef.selected) continue; // selected only
                    compRef.apply();
                    var duppedDocument = app.activeDocument.duplicate();
                    var fileNameBody = exportInfo.fileNamePrefix;
                    fileNameBody += "_" + zeroSuppress(compsIndex, 4);
                    fileNameBody += "_" + compRef.name;
                    if (null != compRef.comment)    fileNameBody += "_" + compRef.comment;
                    fileNameBody = fileNameBody.replace(/[:\/\\*\?\"\<\>\|\\\r\\\n]/g, "_");  // '/\:*?"<>|\r\n' -> '_'
                    if (fileNameBody.length > 120) fileNameBody = fileNameBody.substring(0,120);
                    saveFile(duppedDocument, fileNameBody, exportInfo);
                    duppedDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
