Video, animated GIF, PNG's to FC

50% of buttons panels and so on can be non static... so
1) Drag and drop video is avaliable?
2) List of formats?
3) Size issuse (Drop flv MPG MOV vill the size grow extreamly?)
4) Effects and Loops?
5) And what about animated GIF PNG elements?

We are looking at supporting FLV and F4V video formats in a future beta. Video can be streamed so that the video itself does not have to be embedded inside your Flash content. This prevents the file from getting too big.
Regarding #4, are you referring to effects and loops on video, or for general animation purposes?
Regarding #5, no support for animated GIFS yet

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!

Exporting flash video made with swift 3d to animated gif help

I know there is a new grounds link about setting your publishing settings to get animated gifs to work with flash.
I am using CS4 and when I go to publish the gif works in the html document. But when I export to an animated gif it is still a still picture.
I have also tried to export to a quicktime file and it's is a still picture there too and distorted.
Can anyone help me out? Should exporting to png or gif sequence work as well?

turns out the swift 3d tutorial has you put the animation in a single keyframe within layer one.
so only one frame is shown or created. there go it stays static
now if someone could help me wiht resizing a gif for fireworks i would be the happest person

Are there any tutorials on making animated gifs in flash, from a video?

I have an avi video file that i'd like to make into an animated gif in flash. How do I go about doing this? I know there is an option in photoshop where you can import the video frames onto layers. Is there something similar in flash?

Help Suggestions Needed: Flash Video VS. Animated .Gif

Hi everyone,
My goal is to post an image on my blog that continuously plays different image frames. I'm new to using other programs in the Adobe Suite other than Photoshop, so I started to achieve my goal by making an animated .gif
The quality of the animated .gif anyway you try to adjust it ends up not being the best quality, so I thought I would try making a Flash Video. I was successful at making my image frames into a QuickTime Video, but this is not really exactly what I wanted. I was hoping someone might know of a way to achieve the animated .gif concept of continuously playing images, but with much higher quality??! At this point, any and all suggestions would be very much appreciated
Thank you

Hi Howard,
Yes, your wording is perfect! That's exactly what I'm trying to do and still be able to use it on blogger.com
Working with an Animated .Gif I'm not getting the quality I want, but other than that it would work perfect. As a video with Flash the images don't
continue to loop, but start and stop as a video should with play options. So, this is even more of a stretch from what I originally was trying to
accomplish.

Will animated GIFs work on ipod video?

Title says it all. Will animated Gifs work on ipod video?

Because the ipod does not recognize the .gif (Graphics Interchange Format) file format.

Animated GIF Fix?

With the recent releases of KN 4.0.2, OS 10.5.2 and the Graphics update today, I was hoping that Keynote would better handle transparency in animated GIF images. I haven't seen any change but am wondering if anyone else has been able to get transparent GIF animations to work?
Thanks,
Chris

I'm having this same problem. Animated GIFs with transparency look fine in Safari or Preview, but have an opaque background in Keynote 4.0.1.
People have suggested using Flash, but Keynote doesn't allow importation SWF files that I can see.
And I can't figure out how to generate PNG-video, which a poster suggested in answer to an archived version of this same problem.
If anyone knows a workaround, I'm all ears!

.mov to .gif (animated gif)

Hi Apple fans
I have the worst case never resolve to submit in the history of Apple. Have spent in total 2 and half hours on the phone with Apple customer service and nobody found an answer.
I am building up a website and I want to insert an animated background. I have spent 2 days trying to find a software that convert video (.mov QuicKTime 7) to animated GIF. So far nobody has found a way to do it.
I have a cross platform Windows XP Sp3 and Snowleopard 10.6.4 on the iMac 9.1 for start.
On the Snowleopard I have Final Cut Pro 6, iLife 09, Quick Time 7 (pro?) , Final Cut Express that can edit video. I bought Quick Time Pro especially because it has the capability to convert .mov to .gif. But it does not!!! it convert .gif to .mov only and there is the proof ( http://support.apple.com/kb/sp521 ) information given by Apple customer Support.
On Windows XP SP3, I have Adobe CS3, Video2Gif, AVS video Converter, Gif Optimizer...but as usual , products advertised do not do what they pretend to do on Windows platform, it's just a matter of making you downloading any s*t that can crashed you PC.
So now I am left in limbo between a cross platform operating system that can accept software for their respective OS but can do the job I want them to do.
I call upon any Genius that will be able to resolve my issue which is to convert movies in .mov to animated .gif to insert them as animated background for a webpage.
Thank you very much.
PS: I'm sorry guys I'm out of box of chocolate but will be happy to send one to whoever resolve my concern.

First question would be why you want (or need) the ancient .gif file in the first place:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GraphicsInterchangeFormat
QuickTime Player Pro can import dozens of image file formats and import "Image Sequence" (up to about 65,000) to display as a .mov file.
Such a small palette of colors is available in the .gif file format and they look really ugly if colors are removed from your source files. The .png format allows more colors (and alpha channels for transparency) and are supported by all modern browsers.
You can export nearly any supported video format to "Image Sequence" via QuickTime Player Pro. Use a modern image editing app to convert (ugh) them to Graphics Interchange Format and then a dedicated GIF creation app to make your file. No doubt you will be disappointed by the results.

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."

Problems with animated gifs in Premiere Pro

Hi everyone,
I need some help with my video project - I made some animated gifs that I want to add to the end credits. Importing them etc. works just fine, but in the video, the images always show up with a white background (white "box" around the animted figure), although the gifs definitely have a transparent background to start with. If I import them e.g. as png stills, they are transparent.
Am I doing something wrong? Or is that a Premiere thing&do I have to re-create the animations inside Premiere?
I couldn't find anything on this in the forum and I am grateful for any help/suggestions!
Thanks&have a great weekend!
Patrick
I am using Premiere Pro CS 5 on a Mac. The gifs were created in Photoshop.

Welcome to the forum.
When Still Images show as black, the first things that I investigate is the pixel x pixel dimensions of the images. With many Stills, even if they are within the allowed pixel x pixel range, one's computer's resources can be used up, and an alternate workflow might be useful - Scale the Images to match the Frame Size of the Sequence, prior to Import, in a program, like Photoshop. This ARTICLE might be helpful.
The second thought is that the video driver is no longer performing properly, and needs to be updated. What is make/model of your graphics card, and what is the current number/date of your installed video driver?
Good luck,
Hunt

Can you create an animated gif in LabVIEW?

Hello,
I was wondering if there was a function within LabVIEW which can create an animated .gif file. Most of my online searches result in "how tos" for putting pre-existing gifs on the front panel. I don't need to be able to display the gif anywhere in LabVIEW (FP nor BD), I'd just like to be able to create the file. The "write gif file" vi which is buried deep in the LabVIEW program files did not seem to be what I'm looking for (why is that little guy so buried anyway?).
I have an array of all the image data I want to put in the image (which were all created in LabVIEW. They are all FP control images). It's looking like LabVIEW can't do this, so right now I just have been saving them all to a folder as png's so that I can export them to another program to make the animated image elsewhere. I'd prefer if LabVIEW could just do it though, so is there a way?
I'm using Labview 2012 SP1, but I do have access to a few newer versions if that's what it takes.
Thanks

GerdW
>> the easiest solution is to use a 3rd party tool to convert your folder of PNGs into an animated GIF. It's just one SystemExec call…
That's what it was looking like the answer would be. Thanks.
I'm basically creating a series of images on an intensity graph. As they are generated, I'm grabbing the image data and throwing them in an array. I hadn't thought of looking into making a video. I guess I figured a GIF would be simplest (I recently made some gifs in matlab and it was pretty simple, I was in that mindset).
ToeCutter
>> You could go find the file format for GIF and implement a routine to write it from LabVIEW
That seems a bit beyond me and probably not worth the time it would take me to figure it out. This GIF isn't really that important for what I'm doing. Thank you though.

Using animated gifs with transparent background.

Hi guys,
Keynotes 6.2.
I have been onto apple support with this problem.
I add a transparent animated gif to my project.
It show as a movie correctly in the presentation but when exported as quicktime or HTML the movies fail.
We eventually found out that quicktime does not support animated gifs. ( support.apple.com/kb/ht3775 )
So I exported the animation onto a folder with all the frames separately and brought them into final cut pro.
I then followed these tutorials on how to export with transparent background. ( http://provideocoalition.com/mspencer/video/fcp-x-and-alpha-channels and http://www.larryjordan.biz/fcp-export-transparency ).
I now have a quicktime movie that if I bring back into Final Cut Pro it has a transparent background.
However when I bring into keynotes it still has a black background. (presumably keynotes does not recognise the Apple Prores 444).
Any ideas how I can achieve what I need. ?
I am using a program called crazytalk animator and can output with transparent background. Animated Gif or a series of image stills BMP, JPEG, TGA or PNG.
Cheers
SteveW

This has been an ongoing issue for me since I switched from Powerpoint to Keynote. Most of the animated gifs with transparent backgrounds that I used with Powerpoint are no longer transparent in Keynote. You may want to search for those earlier threads on this topic...
To summarize: I've had to open up my animated gifs in After Effects and use the Color Key effect to restore transparency, with mixed success.
Good luck!

Open and edit animated .gif while preserving frame timing

CS4 Premium Design Edition, Win XP
I was disappointed with the removal of Image Ready from CS3 because although some of the functionality was placed into Photoshop 10, there was no way to open and edit an existing animated .gif while preserving the timing of each individual frame. I was told on the PS forum at the time that I really needed to use Fireworks. I resented that, because I was very happy with Image Ready and I didn't want to have to learn a new application just to gain functionality that had been included in previous versions of PS/IM.
I've now got CS4 Premium Design Edition which of course includs Fireworks... and here's what Help has to say on the subject of imported .gifs.
"Note: When you import an animated GIF, the state delay setting defaults to 0.07 seconds. If necessary, use the States panel to restore the original timing."
This is no use to me. What if I don't know the individual frame timings? What if there are 200 frames with varying timings?
Simple question: which current Adobe product is capable of importing a .gif while retaining the frame timings? If anyone knows, or if I've misunderstood the nature of the Fireworks Help quote above, I'd really appreciate some input here. Thanks :)
Not so simple question: why was an excellent gif-editing application thrown out to have its functionality partially replaced by a bunch of scripts and half-effective workarounds cooked up by desperate users ("import a gif by using the video import and typing *.* into the filename box..")? It's a fair question I think.
Mark

Hi Bob, that's not glib at all, it's a reasonable question.
I uninstalled it along with everything else when I installed CS3, in the reasonable expectation that whatever replaced IR would be at least equal in functionality.
Perhaps I should just dig out CS2 and install IM from there, but I have some serious reservations about doing so, because I don't know if/how a partial install of CS2 will impact upon my installation of CS4, and I'm not confident of getting support.
I am also curious to know if/why Adobe actually removed basic functionality without replicating or replacing it in their other software. I really want to know: which recent, currently supported Adobe product
should I be using in order to regain this functionality? Or do Adobe no longer produce a geniuinely comprehensive .gif-editing application?

Animated GIFs are ridiculously large - why?

Hi all,
I cannot figure out why the animated GIFs I am exporting are
so massive in file size. For example, I import a small 5-frame
650Byte GIF. I edit the size of the canvas to pad it to a square
(from 54x40 to 54x54, or something like that), then I save it with
the following settings:
Animated GIF
Exact Palette
0 Loss
4 Colours (5 including alpha channel)
No dither
And it comes out as 64.4KB. How can the file size increase by
100 times with barely any change? Even if I import it, change
nothing and save the file with the same settings as above, it's
still 64.4KB. Is Fireworks padding the file with unnecessary
information or something?
Thanks for any help,
John.
