Problem exporting transparant .gif

Hi guys,
I created some text and applied the 'Dark Chrome 02' effect
to it. I went to export wizard, selected .gif and index
transparancy. All seemed good. But I noticed it had a white Matte.
I changed that to transparant but it ends up making it black. Is
there no way to make it just.. transparant?

Create your artwork on a canvas that matches the background
color of
your HTML page, and then use Index Transparency

Why did adobe take away our ability to export transparent gif's?

Theres no option to do it, either in the output module or in media encoder.

When porting After Effects to be a 64-bit application, every piece of code had to be reworked, so it was a good opportunity to get rid of some features that no one used and features for which there were better ways to accomplish the result.
Photoshop has always had a superior feature for doing this. Even when After Effects had the feature, the results were not good. Note that even in After Effects CS4 documentation, the recommendation is to use Photoshop instead.
If exporting animated GIF files directly from After Effects is important to you, you can submit a feature request to have it added. You can submit a feature request here.

Need help exporting transparent gifs for flash - rough edges

Hello,
I have a flash header i am building for a website. The layers i am exporting for web have a rough white edge (gif.s - save for web). Basically I am trying to transition the flower group to another color saved from a layer in Photoshop.
Would a path help? The image in the library is set to allow smoothing.
Here is a link to a screen shot in a new window.

How to export animated gif with transparent background and glow effect?

I've been having issues lately with creating animated gifs in flash. I finally figured out a way to export a gif with a transparent background but I'm now having an issue with it again because I'm using a glow effect. When the gif is exported the glow effect changes into a very poor quality and becomes less of a glow and more like a solid color. I've even exported a png sequence from flash and put it into photoshop then created a gif from there but I'm still having the same issue. Is there anyway I can properly export this in gif form so the quality is the same as when I test it in flash?
I've provided an image of what my issue looks like and the settings (I've messed around with the settings and this is the best I can come up with) . This is in photoshop but the result is similar in flash. The left one is what it originally looks like and the right is what it will look like after exporting. As you can see as I said before the glow changes into more of a solid color kind of like a border. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

A GIF is limited to 256 colors while a glow effect likely wants to tie up thousands (let's just say 'lots') of variations of tone.

Problem with symbols while exporting a gif in flash cs4

I am using flash cs4 to export a simple animated gif for a button on my website. However, when I export the gif the movie symbols will not play, what am I doing wrong here?

Well, for some reason, I've managed to be okay with the idea that all software relying on links is prone to crushing at any given moment during execution of a project, Yes this includes After effects, Illustrator, Indesign_name it. However, one thing I cannot understand or even come to terms with the idea that Flash CS4 cannot export a project of 162mb. My library is organised, My scenes are in perfect order, I do not even use 3rd party componets in my projects..... but for some reason, I cannot export let alone publish an application file from FLASH CS4.
My first thought was maybe some thing was wrong with the "flash.ocx" extension, so I took a walk and visited the Adobe site to get an update, but still after re-installing it nothing seems to put a smile on my face_( I've spent sleepless nights on this animation and all I need is to just export/ publish it, however flash exports it halfway and out of a blue the export dialog and the incomplete file vanish) Some times I even wonder wether there is a vortex on my desktop.
Another problem in this category am finding is with flash player in my browsers, if it runs in exlporer, then it won't run in firefox, and when I check in the control panel after installing on both browsers, I am so suprised to find 4plugins of flash player, which is not the case with my friends laptops which use 1plugin and an activeX control for the web browsers.
Any help is very welcome, Am using Dell studio-xps Laptop running a 64bit Windows Vista OS, 4bg Ram, 1 Terabyte HDD and yes Intel Graphics media card with dedicated memory of 1gb. (Of what use are they if I cannot export a small file of 162mb, am even ashamed to mention it, heeeeeelp )

Export white gif with transparent background

Hi,
I suppose this is a bug, or has anybody an idea: I have a transparent canvas and a white drawing. Very simple thing. Now I want to export this as a gif, just like it is: transparent background, white drawing. But this seems to be impossible. I can choose any of the available settings in export dialog (no transparence, index-transparency, alpha-transparency), Fireworks will never export the image correctly. Either I have a total white or a total transparent gif, I even got a white drawing on black background (but can't reproduce it).
System: Mac, Fireworks CS5
Thank you, Michael

Set the Transparency type to Alpha when you export.

Does Keynote 6.0 no longer support Transparent GIF or Quicktime Animations?

So, I have some sample files here:

Moving on...
At my company, we create images, animations, video backgrounds and templates for PowerPoint and Keynote etc. Keynote '09 (iwork '09) and PowerPoint 2008 and 2011 on the Mac, all work. Now we're hearing that the transparent backgrounds are no longer being recognized (black background instead of clear). Is anyone able to check this for me and let me know if there is a workaround or something? I can't find any documentation on how Quicktime changed with Maverick or Keynote 6, so need to do real world testing I'm only running '09 on my Mac and won't have Keynote 6 for another 2 weeks or so.
Please let me know, I may be able to throw in a free subscription to our website for someone who can help me with this.

Hello all... I'm maybe a little late to the party here, but I've had the same trouble for a while with both animated Transparent gifs and quicktime movies with an alpha channel matte.
This morning I spent half an hour tinkering with the export options from quicktime player pro on my old laptop (I used QT 7.6.6 on OSX 10.8.5) and managed to make a "transparent" quicktime movie which plays in the new version of Keynote.
If you have access to the old version of quicktime player pro, you can open your transparent, previously playable file (.gif or .movie) and use the ProRes compressor, using the "4444" option in the list of compressors. Make sure the colours are set to "millions+" to retain the matte and you shoud be OK.
It works a charm... you have to re-import it, simply replacing the original file in the finder seemingly doesn't work, but you can use this method to generate a working version and take 30 seconds to re-import it into the keynote.
Yes, the files are much larger than gifs. Yes it's a lot of messing around if you're not familiar with movies. But in principle it worked for me and sorted out a whole heap of my problems.
Just for note, I've not tried exporting it to Powerpoint as I've no need to do so, or way to test it, but I guess that is a different matter.
Hope that makes sense!

Transparent Gif Background?

Hello,
I've been trying to make a gif with a transparent background, however I've been having a few problems with it.
While the gif does start fine and the background is transparent at the beginning, after a few frames the background color would come up and then after a few frames more it'll be transparent again, then colored again.
It's really troubling since I've been stalking every forum I could find on the subject, however my research had deemed fruitless.
The best I could find out is that when I change its palette on the 'Publish settings' to either Web 216 or Web Snap Adaptive--the background stays transparent! However in return, the colors of the gif turn really ugly. The only palette setting I could go with that won't ruin its colors is 'Adaptive' of course, but I really want it to be transparent and it would absolutely not give me that choice. The other option for the palette choice is Custom which also makes the background transparent--however I don't know what palette to use for it since even if I chose the photo itself as a palette resource the colors still come out undesireable. I'm not really sure what the best 'palette choice' is for custom. (do you have a specific file to use for that?)
Anyways I would love it if I could get some help figuring this out! It seems simple enough, but I really can't for the love of me figure it out.

Normally in transparent GIF creation only one color can be used to define the transparency. It sounds like somewhere along the line your background color is changing such that it no longer matches the transparency color.

Help with transparent gif "ghosting"?

Hello,
I'm trying to export an animated gif with a transparent background to use on my website, but I'm getting a very strange issue where, as the gif cycles through frames, the previous frames "ghost," or remain despite the new frame playing.
An example:
In the first one, the old layers "ghost," in the second, there should be fire moving on top of the letters, but it only moves inside the letters. The PSD for the first image is here: http://puu.sh/7Wh7w.psd I'm saving this images by choosing file > save for web and devices, but no matter what I do in the preview window at that stage, the ghosting still appears. How can I fix this?

Ruth,
Welcome to the forum.
What format/CODEC do you need to Export to?
Many will support Transparency, but not all. For those that do, you usually have two available choices, such as Million + Colors, where the + is Alpha. In some, like FLV, there is an Export Transparency option.
Let us know your delivery scheme, and someone will point to the exact Export settings for Transparency.
Good luck,
Hunt

White lines around transparent gifs

I've tried without success to eliminate the thin white line
that appears around my transparent gifs in Fireworks. Does anyone
know how to achieve this?

The problem is how GIFs render transparency. What might help
is to change the "matte" color found in the Optimize panel. It's
probably set to white. Set it to match the background color of
wherever the GIF is going to go.
Because GIFs can't have semi-transparency, then anti-aliased
(smoothed) edges basically have to have a background color baked
into those pixels, that's what the matte color it. However, if you
use PNG32 or PNG8 with Alpha Transparency, it will remain smooth.
The only problem is the same problem with most things on the web:
Internet Explorer. Alpha Transparency doesn't work in Internet
Explorer 6 or below, without using some crazy hacks you'd have to
google for.

Transparent GIFs for the web

Hope someone can help with this.
I'm basically trying to optimize a transparent image for the
web. I have a straight PNG vesion here, which is what I'm trying to
do, but it's around 96k - so a bit high.
It looks like :
example
one
I tried exporting it as an 8 bit PNG, which got the file size
down, and looks OK in Safari, but looks hopeless in IE (6) :
example
2
So I tried exporting as a transparent GIF, but it only looks
like these :
example
3
example
4
Any tips on how I can optimize it a bit better for the web,
and retain it's original appearance?
Cheers.

As I have asked several times on the DW forum, how did you
export the PNG
image?

HELP - Export Transparent Image in CS3

There used to be a very useful function in CS2 under Help which was Export Transparent Image. What happened to that function in CS3 and how the hell do I export transparent image now in CS3?
Please help, this is quite urgent.
Thanks.

I hear what you are saying Noel... But I came to these forums in good faith with a question about a tool I found useful that was no longer available. I admit I let my frustration show in my first several postings about this because in the other topic on this issue, one of the staffers here even tried to say the function did not even exist. That in combination with the attitude that 'anyone that would use this function must have no experience' or should be using Photoshop Elements did not strike me as either very helpful or polite. I would never let one of my staff treat a customer who came to us seeking help to act this way. It is inexcusable and I saw from the other postings that I am not the only one who feels this way.
Here is a selction of a few of the things she said to me... she seems to have confused me with someone else?
"Dear same idiot who feels the need to use PM to continue an ended/locked/deleted forum discussion,"
"There is no point in continual messaging unless you feel it is some sort of release for your mental condition. Your message is clear. I have no problem comprehending your words. I simply disagree with your insane beliefs. I understand fully who used the function and why it was removed. I was simply stating a fact and offering an alternative that you seemed to ignore. I don't care if the function meant something more to you. Nothing I can do is going to bring it back or afford you any better people skills. You need to get over this... and get over me"
"I just found the Google cache of the closed thread and realized that you may not be the same idiot that contacted me earlier using a fresh forum account. But that still does not make you any less of an idiot."
"The question posed in the forum was "How do I export transparent images in CS5 like I did in CS4?" The question was "viable" and answers were given by others and myself. Just because you do not like an answer does not mean you have to act like a child."
"The answer was not to beg Adobe to bring it back in a user to user forum. If you want to communicate with Adobe, go to their feature request form."
"If you were a designer for 30 years, you would have known how to make a transparent file prior to the Help function that Adobe added for a few versions. With that Help function gone, you should now have the intelligence to craft an action to do the same thing with the press of a button. It is not really a challenge. If you need assistance, bring this topic back to the public forum. Your rude PMs are worthless to us both."
"I look forward to further discussion in the public forum where you don't need to hide your personal problems in PMs."
I find these kind of responses by a staff member of Adobe forums to abusive in nature. Granted after getting this kind of rude response back to my questions, I returned in like kind. I usually do not have these kinds of interactions online, I find them childish and a waste of time. They do nothing for the greater good of the forums and help no one. but I don't take kindly to being treated with disrespect.
I hope this does not exemplify the tenor of communication here on Adobe's forums. If so... it would be a shame, because Adobe has a great reputation in our community. It would be a shame to let a few individuals tarnish it.
I for one would prefer that the person is question has no further communication with me. I think that would be best for all concerned. Thank You.
