No .gif animations - after 1.1.1?

Am I just imagining this or did Safari quit animating .gif files after I updated the firmware to 1.1.1? Maybe it quit working before that, like with the update for 1.0.2 but I didn't notice it until now....
I've tried clearing the cache and so forth with no change. Tried turning JavaScript off and back on, but no change. Is there another setting or switch somewhere to get animated weather maps to work right again?
Sheesh, first we can't see Flash and now plain old animated .gifs appear to have stopped working for me....

I am having the same Issue with animated .gif from the national weather service radar.. It has worked great on all my other phones but the iPhone just wont display them. Version 1.0.2 I can get some of the tiny images on the mobile site to display but they are like 100px square.
Any ideas?

How to Take High Quality GIF Animation In After Effects? Could You Tell Me If You Know

Some People Posting (In Behance) High Quality GIF Motion Graphics. How They Did?

No such thing as a high quality animated gif if high quality means more than 256 colors and anti aliasing.
If you want to create a better looking animated gif in After Effects then you render a lossless movie from your composition and then use Photoshop or another app to turn the movie into an animated gif.
If you want to import an animated gif into AE then what you see is all there is. Gif's cannot contain more than 256 colors and anti aliasing is terrible to non existent.

How Can I Edit Gif Animation

I have a gif animation of a cat playing a sax. In ImageReady I want to edit it to replace the sax with a microphone so I "Placed" a vector gif of the microphone- after erasing the sax and cloning to fill in where needed. The problem is that when I attempt to move the microphone in the first layer, it happens to all the layers and if I try to move it to a new position in any other layer, it moves in the others too. How can I make it "stick" in each layer, in different positions? I have tried to lock all the layers but the one I am working on... I just don't know what I need to do. thanks

Here is one fairly quick and easy way that should work with Win98. Create a new object, but not a Lookout object. Click on the activeX tab and look in the Recommended folder. There you should find Microsoft Web Browser. Select this as your new object to create. Change the name if you want, but leave everything else blank. Now from Windows Explorer simply drag the GIF file and drop it in the object display. The animation should begin doing whatever it does right away.

GIF Animations Not Repeating

For some reason, GIF animations aren't repeating for me ... I see one rotation of them, then it just stays still. Which is a pain. Hoping someone knows a fix of some kind!

Gentlemen, I very much appreciate what you're trying to do, but I know enough about the files in question to know that I don't need to send you examples. I was asking a technical question about Safari, of which I know little. Not about GIF files, of which I know plenty. I appreciate your candor, but you are not dealing with someone who is asking the wrong question.
However, after just downloading the new Safari 3.0 beta, the problem's gone! Heh. What timing. Thank you for at least trying to help.

GIF animations load only first frame

GIF animations show up as still images. Animation only loads after right-clicking and going to image info.

You have the image.animation_mode set to none as you can see in the System Details List.
*image.animation_mode: none
You need on of the other (normal or once)

Why are all of the gif animations on my webpage running on a "continuous" animation loop?

each of my webpages is designed with a .gif image that play's its set of frames one time for the user to see a single animation with the loading of the page.
after i was automatically updated with firefox 4 latest update this morning, i checked my website. now it is playing my .gif animations continuously.
it did not do this when i re-installed an earlier version of firefox, and the copy of internet explorer that i had originally on the computer did not do this.
the only way for my webpage to function properly is if the animation is running on a single .gif cycle, i can no longer market with my webpage on this version of firefox.

It will be fixed in beta 11.

How can i control gif animations?

I have a project in which i need some animations. The animations all have been created in After Effects. Now I can use the png sequences, but these are very big and i need a lot animations running on the same time. So i would rather use the gif animations. So my question: I can control when to play the gif animation but i can't play it more than one time. Is there a solution?
Thanks for answering!
Jannis

Hi there,
I see...you're controlling when it displays. Technically, that's not the same as controlling the animated GIF; you're just controlling when you see it. EA recognizes GIF only as an image format, and can't make the browser play from the beginning other than the first time it's displayed or when it loops back (if your animated GIF loops).
However, you could do something similar with an extra image file or two, jQuery, and css background-image to "load" the GIF file into a transparent image. Here's a link to an example that always runs the animated GIF from the beginning:
https://creative.adobe.com/share/52f15194-875b-4604-8857-9b9bf5f78e04
A single line of code that does the work is in the playBtn click handler.
hth,

Why don't gif animations work in Mail 3.4?

I posted this earlier today on what I thought was the 10.5 Leopard section and as it turned out, it somehow posted in the Panther OS section. Doh! I'm sorry if you saw the other post and this is the second time you have read this today.
I have read through the Mail discussions since the release of Leopard trying to figure out why gif animations do not work in Leopard Mail but they do work in Tiger Mail. I have read several explanations by several different people giving various reasons why they do not work. I have little faith in the answers I've seen to date as to why they do not work in Leopard Mail, as every now and then I get an email with an embedded gif +that does animate+ in Leopard Mail.
If I download from Leopard Mail an animated gif file to my desktop that does not animate in Mail and then open that gif in TextEdit, it animates just fine.
If I take some of the gif files that do not animate in Leopard Mail and publish to an iWeb page, they animate just fine when I visit the published page.
If I open the same email that will not animate in Mail 3.4 in my .mac/.me account using Safari, the animations animate fine in the webmail.
This one really gets me. If I forward an email that contains embedded gif files that are known to animate and that do not animate in Leopard Mail to my iPhone, +they animate just fine in iPhone Mail+. *Go figure!* Why should/would they animate in my little old iPhone 3G Mail but not my full sized Mac PowerBook, using the powerful mail application, Mail?
According to some people who have posted responses as to why Leopard Mail does not support animations, Apple does not read the Discussion posts! I have made more than one trip to the Apple Genius Bar and asked why Apple does not read the Discussions and each time the answer has been, "Apple does read the Discussions. Apple employees do not reply to them." I really do think Apple reads these posts somewhere along the line and that software changes do occur because of some of the posts.
Apple: If you are reading this, what gives with Leopard Mail and gif animations? Why the step back from gif animation in Tiger Mail to hit and miss (mostly miss) animation in Leopard Mail? Why not post an Article explaining why animations should not work/do not work in Leopard Mail?
Joe

I have used OS X Feedback on several occasions and have never heard back from Apple regarding any of my queries nor have I seen any software changes come about because of any of my queries.
Apple doesn't respond to Feedback; they get way too many to have any time for that, but their engineering staff do keep track of what comes in and evaluates suggested changes all the time. I've made a good number of suggestions and I do get replies, but that's only because I have the email addresses for those who make the decisions, and I can't give those out.
Just because you haven't seen changes doesn't mean they didn't consider your suggestions or that they aren't planning on incorporating a feature that you and others have suggested in the future. After all, the next version of OS X, Snow Leopard, isn't due until next year, and they're working on things for beyond that even now. Nothing has been finalized, so everything is open to more change after Snow Leopard.

How separate and rotate pieces of an object in preparation for creation of a GIF in After Affects?

Here is the image that I'm working with...
I want to make this object rotate a tight 90 degrees in After Effects and then separate. If you're wondering why I put this up under Photoshop it is because I need to have this model in addition to 2 others, one of the top half and one of the bottom half and button, both turned 90 degrees [preferably clockwise] in order to create the GIF. I need these 3 pieces before I can even consider creating the GIF in After Effects... so if somebody either wants to try and do it for me or to try and help me to do it on my own, either one would be extremely helpful

Don't worry guys, I actually found the answer all on my own what I needed was to separate the image into 3 files, something I was probably going to do anyways to make exporting and importing the images easier and rotating the two top and bottom half images here's what I have right now (per background removal)Thanks for trying to help... but I think I'm ready to move on to After effects with this one The reason I'm moving it to after effects is simply because I understand simple movement/animation there already... if you're curious as to what I plan on doing with these images, the complete ball will sit in a hole in my border, turn a sharp 90 degrees right and then be replaced by the two half images, the bottom one will fade slowly out while the top is lifted off screen to the right... it's a fancy reveal for my upcoming project thanks again

Gif animation - Sub animation + randomizing

Hello everyone!
I want to create a repeating, pixel art GIF animation. The basic idea is nyan cat swapped for a spaceship, in my usual video resolution. Now I made all the assets, and I thought I can use the star animation as a sub animation, so I can tell it to appear in random heights, move from right to left and start at a random frame, so I made a GIF just for that. But I fail to see any sort of controls that let me do what I was planned. Any ideas/methods to solve this? Perhaps I should use an other program?

Wrong program. Get After Effects. PS does not allow nesting and retiming you would have to "expand", that is copy&paste the bits and pieces to the relevant frames in your then new frame timeline for your final GIF.

.gif animation quality.

Hello, it's again my. I have a problem with my flash animation quality. I have a gif animation -
the quality should look like this.
But instead it looks like this, when I save it like a .gif animation.
How can I save my quality on gif format? (sorry for my bad English)

No such thing as a high quality animated gif if high quality means more than 256 colors and anti aliasing.
If you want to create a better looking animated gif in After Effects then you render a lossless movie from your composition and then use Photoshop or another app to turn the movie into an animated gif.

How to import transparent gifs in after effects cc

I just upgraded form after effects cs5 to cc and one thing i cant understand is why i cant directly import transparent gifs as i could in cs5. I heard that you have to make a png sequence from fireworks but i dont want to go through all of that. I would appreciate if someonecan tell me how to easily import transparent animated gifs into after effects cc as you could in sc5

You can't and that is that. This stuff used Quicktime components and simply too much has changed. You need to work with image sequences exported from Photoshop or whatever other program based on your GIF.

Gif fail after download using php

I create a web page in php. after download a file using php:
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="sth.txt"');
readfile("sth.txt");
the gif animation dosn't work. in IE9 every thing is ok.
please help me.

Thanks for your reply.
My web page is offline, in my pc using EasyPHP.
I tried other mime types like text/plain too.
Let me explain my question more:
There is sth similar to Yahoo Mail. My page has a link, like '''Files(2)''', it means two new files is available for download.
After user clicks it, he see the links to download the files. before download there must be a MySQL query to decrease the number of new files (1), then download the file. I implement this using AJAX. first time every thing is ok, but for second time, after user clicks the link to download, the AJAX gif is not working (image loads without animation). Also for testing, I placed a gif in my page to show all the time (not for AJAX). after the first download, the animaion is stop and show a still image.
By the way, my page do net refreash after click and download.
Of course, i solved my problem by using window.open() instead of window.location.href for redirect to download page.
Thanks for help.
