How do I make an animated gif from 2 layers in photoshop CC

I have a Photoshop (CC) file with 2 layers, I want to make an animated gif...I can find no way of getting the layers into the timeline. There used to be a command to import layers into frames... but I cannot find it

Thank you for getting back to me on this.
The timeline is showing and set to "Create Frame Animation" but I can find nothing in the popup window (enabled or not) that will do it. There used to be a drag and drop way to do this in older photoshops... I have googled and searched everything I can think of... but can't find anything that works.
I'm in MAC Maverick, Photoshop CC
thanks agian

Can you make an animated gif from edge animate?

Can you make an animated gif from edge animate?

not natively. edge exports html and javascript files, not video files, or frames.
however, you could use a third-party program that has a video screenshot function and make one that way.

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 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.

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 to Make Animated GIF from Layer Comps?

Have CS3 on XP.
I have 15 Layer Comps created the way I like them...How do I make an Animated Gif or animated PNG from the Layer Comps?
Id Like Each Layer of the animation to be one of the Layer Comps... so it shows the progression of the frames built from 1st to last.
Thanks
Suzzie

I'm not sure off hand since I rarely ever have used layer comps, but I believe you need to flatten them before being able to use them in an animation...

I can't make an animated gif in photoshop cs5

i followed every step of this tutorial : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKrjTtgJUbE
it worked with a lot of people , but when i did it , it looked like this : http://postimg.org/image/h9gzhiuln/ !!!
it's really annoying , i imported a video (mp4) from a movie and it looked like this , the frames are only two , one of them is white and the other one is black .
i searched a lot about this problem but no one seems to have it but me !

I don't have the time to watch a video tutorial just to try to understand the context of your issue, but I'll offer this bit of wisdom...
If you're attempting to make an animated GIF from a multi-layer document, there's a key menu item you need to exercise:
Hope this helps.

How to download an animated .gif from a web page

how do i download to my mac an animated gif that is on a web page....when i want a picture or text or something like that i just ...apple shift 4 and "take a picture of it" ...but i want the animation..i have never had to do that on this mac.....a windoze person from the site(chat site) said just right click but my wireless mac mouse doesnt do that....i would appreciate any help.....i do know how to down load from a site that has downloadable .gifs...you just click the download sign they have and no problem....but this is just a random animated .gif from a web page ....i hope my ques is clear....thank you

Drag and drop it from the webpage onto your desktop. Note that it won't remain "animated" while you're looking at the file's icon, but it should work if you build it into a new website.
And you can right-click with a Mac mouse - you just have to set it up to do so in System Preferences. (Set the right side of the mouse to be a "secondary click".)

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 can I make a still photo from imovie

How can I make a still photo from imovie?

Let's assume you have iMovie 11 (Version 9). (If you have a different version, let me know. The instructions will be different.)
First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
Open MPEG Streamclip.
In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
You can then drag this photo into iPhoto.
I have created a short video Tutorial on how to do this. There is one error in the Tutorial, where it says that Command-click is the same as right-click. I should have said Control-click instead.

How can I make an audiobook purchased from another source show up in iTunes as an audiobook and not as music?

How can I make an audiobook purchased from another source show up in iTunes as an audiobook and not as music?
They chapters are mp3 files. Changing the genre to "audiobook" or "audiobooks" does help.
I am sure this question will come up a lot, since the book in question is "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," purchased from Pottermore.com.

The one thing I would add to the instructions above is that the "Media Kind" menu is on the "Option" pane in the "Get Info" Window. This procedure has allowed me not only to make imported audiobooks show up as audiobooks, but imported podcasts show up as podcasts.

How do I make flash animation?

how do I make flash animation for websites with Abode Flash
CS3? It will have static words with animation moving behind it.
Example:
http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/rescueme/#/home/
exclusive video, about the crew, and cast and crew: all have
video snippets moving when you mouse over it.

I'm sorry, but this question is sort of like: "I bought a
hammer, a saw and some wood, how do I make a rocking chair?"
First step: open Flash and hit the F1 key. This will open up
Flash's Help menu. Choose "Using Flash". Go through all the
exercises. If you're impatient and want to skip ahead (I don't
recommend it), go to the "Creating Animation" section. The
explanations and tutorials are actually very well-written and easy
to grasp.
There is also a PDF file that comes installed with Flash
called flash_cs3_help.pdf, which contains the same material.
I could write out a paint-by-numbers tutorial for you here,
but it would be pretty similar to what's in the Flash Help
resources. Use them. Then if you get stuck on a specific detail,
feel free to ask questions at this forum and people will be more
than happy to help.
