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.

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 can I make a transparent animated gif?

I'm using CS2. I have an animated gif that I want to take the black background out of so that the animated part of it is all that remains.
Here is a link to the image:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v97/tragicmike/random/Tesseract.gif
I basically want to remove all of the black background from the image so that the animated tesseract is all that remains. I know how to open the gif to expose the layers using ImaegeReady, then edit them in PhotoShop. But when I made the black areas of each layer transparent (by selecting the RGB channel, inverting the selection, and hitting delete), saved a copy, and tried viewing it, it seems to just display all of the transparent layers constantly instead of cycling through them.
Can someone please help me figure out how to make an animated gif with a transparent background? If I lose some of the black areas of the animated part (since they seem to get deleted when I remove all of the black background) it's no big deal. I just need to know how to do this so that it plays correctly.
Thank you!!!
Mike

"I have to wonder why the black background was included on every frame of the moving shape."
 
 Well, George...the only reason I can think of is because it's an animated GIF, and GIFs only support one layer.
 
 Whatever application it was created in should have been able to render it out with a transparent BG. But I suppose the creator had his/her reasons for going with the black BG.
 
 (Full disclosure: I ran across
<s>that same</s> a similar animation back in December, and the version I grabbed only had the black showing through the inside of the tesseract. I opened it in ImageReady and

added
 a black BG so the edges didn't look jaggedy.)

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 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 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 to make real fast animations using CS5

Hi,
I need to make some fast moving animations like moving an image from one corner to another corner, how can I do that?

If you need guaranteed framerates and playback speed, move on to the world of video and compositing tools. There is no way to enforce rendering speed of animated GIFs and the format doesn't have a fixed framerate. Not to mention the absence of motion blur rendering and otehr things in PS itself. That aside, simply use less frames to make things move faster, it just won't look smooth in PS because of what I mentioned...

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 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!

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.
