Saving animated gif error - canvas size too big?

Hi,
i have been asked to create an animated gif which has a snow effect in the background. The animation runs pretty well using the pattern style to move the animated snow down. The problem is when I try to export the animation the save for web dialogue window freezes and I can't quit photoshop. I have tried to make the canvas (image size) smaller and it works.
Is there a memory problem with creating animations in Photoshop if the document size is too big, im running a 3000x1000px at 72dpi
TThe animation would be used on a web app, which a script could probably do a better job, but I need to try this first.
thanks

Something is very wrong here. The point behind using GIFs is that they are small and OK to put on a Web site.
First thing: forget all about PPI - this has absolutely no relevance to Web/screen images; it is only used for printing. You need to think about the pixel size.
So, how big in pixels are your starting images?
How big do you want the resulting GIF to be? Again, you have to decide in pixels, as the viewing size will depend upon screen resolution of the person looking at it. You can use a notional PPI of 70-100 to guess how big it will be in inches, but that's all it is - a guess.
Is this getting you going in the right direction?
I cannot resist commenting that I hate almost all animated GIFs as they reduce Web site usability so much.

Illustrator CC 2014 interface size too big.

Illustrator CC 2014 interface size too big. There is no option to change it. Bug?

But no matter what, there has been some sort of UI font size override introduced in CC2014 that is making the Adobeverse buzz with dissatisfaction. Just out of curiosity, I just checked, and ALL instances of Photoshop are now unable to modify UI font size.... Below is CC2014, which we know about:
And here is CC2013 and CS5.1 exhibiting the SAME behavior:
It's quite clear that ALL copies of Photoshop are now locked into the same "tiny" font setting, regardless of in-app settings.
This is NOT related to Windows display settings (nor SHOULD it be), I can share additional screenshots later to show that, but my boss is getting upset that I have already had to waste this much time doing beta testing that HE is paying for.

Saving animated GIFS

Hi
I'm having a problem saving an animated GIF in photoshop so the colours match the original photoshop file.
I've tried playing with the save setting, dither, 32,64 colours, adaptive, selective etc but always comes out a lot brighter than the original could.
The file is set up at 72 dpi, in rgb, to the correct pixel size. When I save for web as a Jpeg the colour matches but not when saved as an animated gif.
I need all colours on my web files to be consist in accordance with our brand, please help
thanks

Make sure that in the 'save for web' dialog, you do not have 'Restrictive (Web)' selected.
GIF is limited to 256 colors so if you are trying to use more, then you are bound to have some color shifting.
Also note that GIF does not support the embedding of color profiles. Start out your original document in the basic sRGB profile. Note that this is one of the many color profiles you use in 'RGB' color mode.

Animated GIF error

I've joined Creative cloud and was able to create the swf file in Flash Pro CC. Would like to export it as an animated Gif but when I do that it won't play and seems to be a single image. When the swf is created I get this error.
Symbol 'catjum[', Layer 'Layer 2', Frame 69, Line 1, Column 1
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method getURL.
Please help!

If you are using Flash CC and you have getURL somewhere in your code, that getURL will be the problem since it is AS2 code and Flash CC does not support AS2 code.

You Tube Player Size Too Big in Firefox by default

I recently experienced that the You Tube player automatically became large.
The standard size for YouTube videos seems to have changed from their old standard into the size that used to be halfway between normal and fullscreen.
That is WAY too big, and it's actually disgusting to look at with 360p and below videos. The vast majority of videos look like crap when they're stretched out.
There is a new button, "centered player," where the old "large player" button used to be. Clicking on it will center my enormous window, then that button displays "default player," which brings me back to this large, uncentered player.
This is happening with Firefox, with IE working fine.
Although I am technically incompetent I tried a few suggestions:
Remove all cookies
Hit Ctrl+Shift+K and insert the code below in console:
document.cookie="VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=; path=/; domain=.youtube.com";window.location.reload();
However, I am getting the following messages:
Use of getAttributeNodeNS() is deprecated. Use getAttributeNS() instead. util-service.jsm:590
Use of getPreventDefault() is deprecated. Use defaultPrevented instead.
And it is not working, back to same Large Player….
Hopefully Mozilla can do something to fix this.
Thanks!

You said that you removed the cookies. Now

Safari Font Size Too BIG

My daughter was on my computer and somehow changed the font size in safari and it is too big. I've tried the command/shift/- and and that is not changing the appearance (font is still too big). Any other suggestions? All webpages are affected.

Figured it out (thanks prior poster)
Go to Safari Preferences > Advanced.
Then adjust the size of type to display as you like it.
This one is set to 10, but you can up to 24 if you need to.
Hope this helps.

Problem saving animated gif

Hello!
Just for fun i was planning to edit a animated football tackle gif. I was planning to remove the player who tackle in each and every frame of the animated gif. So it would take some time to finish.
I have successfully opened the gif in CS6 via import Video Frames to Layers.
It consists of 72 layers and i have tried to fix 10 of them just to see how it roughly would look like.
My problem comes when I try to save and render the GIF (via save for WEB).
The 10 first frames of my gif only shows one freezing frame, and then it shows the rest from 11-72 without any problems.
What am i doing wrong, since my edited layers don't show up in the final GIF?

Right on! Easy solution.
First, the reason your first 10 frames are not changing is because each of those frames shows the same layer (Layer 1).
In your layers panel, you have Layer 1 set to visible and all the other layers are invisible. That's good for Frame 1, but for frame 2 you'll want to make Layer 2 the visible one.
Click on Frame 2 in your Timeline panel and then check the eyeball icon to make Layer 2 visible! Do the same for Frame 3/Layer 3, Frame 4/Layer 4, etc. until you get to the end of the animation!
To address the second problem, the option for Make Frames from Layers is greyed out because you already have frames in your timeline.
Go to your Timeline panel and select all the frames and delete them.
Then select all your layers in the Layer panel, right-click and choose Make Frames from Layers... you should be able to click on it once your Timeline is cleared. It will automatically create frames that go from Layer 1 to your last layer (so, you wouldn't have to do it manually like above ^).
Either way should take care of your problem! Please let me know if this works for you!!
Cheers,
Michael

Saving Animated .GIF Incorrectly?

Please help! I am trying to save an animated .gif with images
that will rotate through every 1 second.
Here is what I am doing...what am I doing wrong???!!!!
Step 1: I create two frames
Step 2: I add one image to each frame
Step 3: I change the frame delay from the default 7/100 to
100/100, which should be one second
Step 4: I save the image as an animated.gif.
For some reason, despite the frame delay being correct, the
image rotates through at an incredibly fast rate. It seems to stay
at the default 7/100 frame delay and I can't correct it. Even if i
save it as a 3500/100 delay, it still rotates very quickly.
Can anybody help me? This is very frustrating!!

There is a bug in the Property Inspector's
Default Export Options that resets frame delays to 7,
whenever you change the options from there. So, don't even touch
it. :-) There are a couple things you could do instead:
When you save the GIF, use Export Preview first
(Ctrl+Shift+X). There, click on the Options tab and select Animated
GIF as the format. Click Export, specify a location and that should
export a GIF with your specified frame delay.
If you really want to set the default export options on the
source PNG, then use the Optimize window (F6). It has exactly the
same interface as the Property Inspector's default export options,
but it doesn't reset the frame delay when you specify "Animated GIF
WebSnap 128". Go figure...
That's how it works on CS3 here. I hope it will work out for
you as well. :-)

Adobe Media Encoder P2 File Size Too Big for Fat32

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a project that has to be delivered on an actual P2 card.
I'm on a Mac running 10.9.1 using Media Encoder 7.2.2.29.
My final files are ProRes files and I dropped them into Media Encoder and selected the P2 AVC-Intra 100 1080 option. I set the destination to a local drive and everything seemed to encode properly. I have a CONTENTS folder and all the required subfolders and MXF files. The problem is, when I went to copy the folder to the actual P2 card, Finder told me that some of the files "can't be copied because [they are] too large for the volume's format." And, indeed, looking at several of the video files in the Finder, they seem to max out at 4.29GB (4,294,971,924 bytes), which is 4,629 bytes larger than the FAT-32 size limit.
I just now tried to encode directly to the P2 card and I got an error that was, ostensibly, a "Disk Full" error, but happened at right around where I would expect that 4GB limit to be.
Is this something others have encountered? Is there a setting I missed? According to the P2 workflow PDF here, the folder structure AME creates "can be exported directly to a connected P2 card, or it can be exported to a selected drive and the folders and files copied over to the card."
One possibility might be to split up the files into shorter videos, but I'm not sure how AME would handle ordering on the card.
Thanks
David

I wanted to mention, in case anybody else has this issue, installing and using Media Encoder CS6 produces P2 MXF files that are the proper size. I filed a bug report, hopefully Adobe can get the CC version fixed.

Mac OS creates huge PDF file - PDF file size too big

Hi,
I have a 80 K Word file. The file is one page, some text and a 12 KB .jpg file imported in. I then duplicated the jpg graphic 7 times (8 total images).
Here are the resulting sizes when creating PDF's using different methods within Mac OS X print menu:
Save as PDF 550 KB
Compress PDF 5.2 MB !!!!
Save as PDF w/ Quartz reduce file size 2.5 MB !!!!
Compress PDF w/ Quartz reduce file size 2.1 MB !!!!
I recreated (from scratch) the same content using Canvas. I got the following:
Canvas X "Save as:PDF" 56 KB
Mac OS print pdf 550 KB
Mac OS print compress PDF 2.5 MB !!!
Can anyone explain what is going on??? I can make the file available if you with to play with it.
Version Details:
Word 2004 (11.2)
Mac OS X 10.4.7
Thanks much,
Mace
Intel iMac 20", PB15 Alu, iMacG4 17, Sawtooth Mac OS X (10.4.7) Many other Macs from 128k on.

I don't have distiller on my Mac... and the point (which I haven't gotten into) is that this is for a friend who just got a Mac. So, here I was touting the ease of use and she goes and finds a way to turn a 60 kB Word file into this monstrosity. So, the point is to avoid "extra steps" and additional software (which I eventually had to do anyway with Canvas X).
I just don't understand how the Mac OS X PDF maker can take a 60 kB Word document and turn it into a 5 MB behemoth... and this is when set to compress the PDF!
I mean, a 5 MB jpeg is about 40-50 MB uncompressed which, for an 8.5x11" page is 300 dpi at 16 bit RGB color, 400 dpi 8 bit color.
I've just never come accross anything like this and am totally clueless what is going on.
Thanks for any insights.

Canvas becomes too big when generating tabs on a content canvas

I want to generate the following layout:
<New content canvas> block 1 height 15 width 80
prompt: field
prompt: field
<New tab canvas page> tab 1 height 31 width 80
Multirecord block which is a detail of block 1
<New tab canvas page> tab 2 height 31 width 80
Also MR block which is a detail of block 1
Window height 46 width 81
Problem is that the height of the tab canvas pages becomes 46 and not 31, so the height of the window becomes 61. I've tried several options, als with view height and width, but it is always reproducable and wrong. And with every module I build with the same sort of layout.

When i'm not been able to get the right size i will add a pre-form-trigger and resize the object at runtime. It's saves me a lot of time instead of trying to instruct the generator to do so.
I'm always using the pre-form-trigger and not the when-new-form-instance-trigger because Headstart will do the initialization after the pre-form-trigger is fired and so it's taking the changes made in the pre-form-trigger into account.

Files sizes too big when I burn CDs

I am fairly new to itunes and the imac. It seems that file sizes are pretty big when I burn a CD to itunes and are going to take up my ipod nano quickly. For instance, a 10 song CD took up 423 MB. The import settings I have use the AAC Encoder option and the quality is 128 kbps. Should I be using different settings to get the copied song size down? If so, what do you recommend?
Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Please double check your import settings as the avg 4 minute song imported in AAC @ 128 should yield an approximate file size of 4mb, for a 10 song disc, 40mb. A total file size of 423mb really sounds like an uncompressed format such a Lossless, or AIFF. Also, verify the format/bitrate by ctrl-click on any song in iTunes, the "get info" . The summary tab at this point will give you the format/bitrate used to import the song. I just imported a 3 disc set tonight by "Genesis" in AAC @ 256kbps, the 40 songs on this set using the above settings only gave a total file size of 438mb.

Exported AVI size TOO BIG

I've exported a 35 min. premiere elements 4 project into an DV AVI file that says it's 7.17G in size. When I try to transfer it to my 500 G. external hard drive it says it's too large. Please help me find out why it's too large. I have 417 G open on my external drive.

Barbie,
Basically, DV-AVI is going to be about 13GB per hour. There's nothing you can do about that. So if you're exporting a 35 minute video, it's going to be about 7GB.
If want smaller files, there are several things you could do:
* Export portions of the video at a time, e.g. (7) 5-min videos instead of (1) 35-min video
* Save to compressed file format (WMV, MOV)
* Archive the project (which creates a separate AVI for each clip)
I think it might help us if you could expand on what it is you're trying to do with the AVI output.
Usually when you're done with a project, you'll create a DVD or a compressed format to be viewed on YouTube or your computer, so explaining why you're exporting such a large DV-AVI might help us brainstorm some ideas for you.
Regards,
Ed
