How to turn an animated .gif into a hyperlink

Hey everyone,
Im new to the forums and dreamweaver. I created an animated .gif file in photoshop that i want to use as an advertisement banner on a website. Now that the banner is created (on photoshop), I would like to turn the whole image into a link so that when someone clicks on it, it will redirect them to another website. How do I do this in dreamweaver??
Any help is greatly appreciated!

is JQ iweb compatible?
jQuery is a very popular JavaScript library with which you can bring interactivity into web pages.  I know almost nothing about iWeb except that it is consumer level software for non-coders.  That said, if you can access the source code (HTML and CSS), you should be able to use jQuery plug-ins in your web pages.
jQuery Cycle Plug-in (click on examples, view source in browser to see the code).

  • How do I import animated gifs into Premiere with a transparent background?

    I have an animated gif that I got from the internet, and I'm trying to import it into Premiere Pro with a transparent background. The gif is of a video game character standing still and blinking. Whenever I import it, it always has a white background, so I need help on how to change that.
    I've gone into Photoshop and removed the white background frame by frame, making it transparent. I do this by using the magic wand tool to select the white background, then hit "delete" to turn it into that diamond grid, which means it's transparent. I then select File -> Save for Web. I preview every frame, and it shows that the backgrounds are transparent. I save it as a gif. But when I import it into Premiere Pro, the white background is still there.
    I've read many forums online about people trying to import images into Premiere Pro with a transparent background, but none of them have explained how to do it specifically for animated gifs. Every answer has always been "export the image as a png, that'll work", and sure enough, I exported a few frames of the gif as pngs, and those few frames had transparent backgrounds in Premiere Pro. But I don't want a png because those aren't animated sequences, those can only be still images. I need to export it as a gif so that it will remain animated, but gif files always have that dreaded white background in Premiere Pro.
    I suppose I could export every frame as a png, import each of those frames into Premiere Pro, then string all the frames together and tweak them so they'll be functionally identical to the animated gif, but that would take forever. I'm making a video project and I need numerous animated gifs to work with, so I don't want to do that with every single one of them. I'm looking for a way to simply import the gifs into Premiere Pro and be done with it. If there is any way to do this, please help me.

    faind on gif transparency and other cartoon animation problems : Adobe After Effects
    " The reason: GIFs don't support alpha channels. Instead, their file structure assigns a certain color value to be read as totally transparent. There aren't any degrees of transparency as you find in graphics formats that do support alpha channels.
    To use an animated gif in AE, you'd first have to create the areas of transparency, then convert the series of images into a graphics format that supports alpha channels, and there are a bunch: PICT, TIFF, TARGA or PNG, to name a few."

  • How do I convert a .gif into a looping Quicktime .mov? I have Quicktime Pro

    I want to know how do I convert a .gif into a looping .mov? is this even possible?
    Thank you in advance for your reply to my Post,
    Sebastian

    Yes and no.
    It was easy to assign a "transparency" color in previous versions of QuickTime Pro. Just open the "Color Wheel", pick your color and QuickTime Pro would use it to mask your .gif file.
    In version 7 you only get to use a "mask" (useless on a motion graphic like an animated gif) or pick either a "level" of opacity (also shows the background).
    Open the Movie Properties window (Pro only) and highlight the video track.
    Click the "Visual Settings" tab and you'll notice "Transparency" options (lower left under the Mask).
    Older versions of QT Pro also allowed "blends" of this transparent color.
    I used to use a gaudy Pepto Bismol pink as my transparent color. Now I must be sure to include an alpha channel (black or white) in my imported images. This means your .gif must also either black or white as the transparent color.

  • 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.

  • I finished making an animated .gif image in FireWorks. My question is, how do I convert it into video so that when I edit video, that every video editing program recognizes it? Long story short, How do I convert animated .gif files into video formats?

    I worked in Adobe FireWorks to make the animated .gif. What program do I use to convert the file from .gif to any video format: .mp4, .m4v, .avi, .wmv, etc. I want to convert it into video format, so that QuickTime Player plays the video, I can insert it into iMovie '11 and edit, and also insert it into Final Cut Pro X and edit video.

    Thanks for getting back with me so promptly.  It has taken me this time to connect with the proper people to find out the information you requested.
    The camera used to film the class was a Panasonic AG-HMC40P, owned by a local cable TV station; they use Kodak video encoding software, and a SD card was used to store the video.   The file extension is .mts, and the mime file is MPEG 2 transport.  He said I probably need an AVCHD converter, and the Mac app store lists 8 of those options, 4 free and 4 for up to $9.99.  He said I'll also need a converter for later plans of posting on YouTube or on the website, and while some of those in the app store might work for the later needs, he knows one app called "Compressor" that would work for the uploading later.  He also suggested I could try renaming the .mts file to .MP2T, but he wasn't sure that would work.
    They don't work with Macs at the studio, but I had thought I could have some lessons there in editing, and apply what I learned to my iMac and iMovie.
    First, though, I have to be able to see it and review it!
    Thanks again!

  • How to edit a Animated Gif file and convert to SWF

  • 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 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 to edit an animated GIF in CS6

  • 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.

    I Have an excel bid form that i use all the time ,then i convert it into a PDF  And once in a while i need to add something to it  I paid for acrobat but when i try to turn the PDF back into an excel document the format is changed , the columns are in the wrong places And it does not look at all like the original excell form is there any thing i can do to  fix this If not this will be useless to me  any help appreciated

    A PDF does not contain any spreadsheet, word processing or page layout file format information.
    No "format", columns, rows, etc.
    "When you create a PDF, you’re painting a picture. Your paintbrush is the is the result of a combination of the software used to create the source document and the software you’ve chosen to convert your source document into the universal electronic document format we all know as PDF.
    Like the painter’s brushstrokes, each character, each line and each image is fundamentally independent, but they can interact with each other to produce particular visual effects. On the PDF page, objects are connected by a coordinate system and not a lot else. There’s no logical, semantic connection between the letters comprising a word; characters simply happen at a series of locations on the rendered page.
    As originally designed, PDF is fundamentally a system for painting objects onto a page, plus a whole lot of other features we aren’t talking about right now! There’s no innate concept of words, sentences, paragraphs, columns, headings, images, tables, lists, footnotes – any of the semantic structures that distinguish a “document” from a meaningless heap of letters, shapes and colors. PDF is fundamentally about how the document appears on the page, not how it looks when abstracted from the page."
