Why do animated GIFs stop animating

I just upgraded to Muse CC Prerelease July 29, 2013 Version 6, Build 717.
Some animated GIFs stopped animating. Should I go back to my May 31st version of Muse?
Is there a released version of Muse?
Animated GIFs have always had problems when an effect like a Shadow or a Glow is applied. Sometimes they animate, sometimes they don't.
Usually I can get animated GIFs to work if they are not placed as text objects but it makes it more difficult if things reflow.

  • Safari - Animated GIF not Animating Issue

    I am frequenting site and have noticed animated gifs not animating properly on this page. The site is http://www.woot.com
    Problem Detail:
    There are two "whirly lights" on each side of a progress bar under the item currently for sale. The left light starts to animate while the page is loading but stops while the right light continues its animation.
    This particular site may usually only uses these images every once in a while so if no one checks this in the next couple days the images will no longer be there. I created a web archive the site which I could send if this page does go away. The issue does not happen in Firefox or Internet Explorer.

    Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions
    I get the same effect as you in Safari. Loaded with no problem in Firefox. Page does have coding errors, which can lead to inaccuracies in how the page is rendered. Safari is much more strict about correct coding than Firefox, adhering to web standards set out by Web Standards Project.

  • Animated gifs stop randomly... Why?

    Hello:
    I have an application where I have several animated GIFs in the front panel. Sometimes, randomly, some/all of them stop. The animation resumes for a moment when I pass the mouse over one of the halted GIFs, but then it stops again.
    Why does this happen? Is there a limit in the amount of animated GIFs in the front panel?
    How can I overcome this?
    I've thinked about using an ActiveX container like it's said here:

    But I don't know if this is a good idea or not.
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Coamin:
    Thanks for answering...yes, I know it's a good idea to support the Spanish forums, most of the time I post there, I don't know what happened this time =), ok, switching to Spanish now...
    Te comento que estuve realizando unas pruebas y parece ser un problema de repintado. Al principio pense que dado que los GIFs eran muy grandes y estaban reescalados para ser más pequeños, pense que el tamaño estaría evitando la animación. Entonces generé GIFs mas pequeños pero el problema persistió. Experimentando, me di cuenta que si colocaba los GIFs en una sección vacía del Front Panel, se mantenián animados, y si los colocaba en una sección ocupada, en mi caso, sobre una imagen grande, el corportamiento de la animación  a veces se volvía errático. Te adjunto un VI donde trato de ejemplificar esto, aunque lo acabo de probar y no ha fallado....siempre pasa, como el coche cuando lo llevas al mecánico o los niños cuando los llevas al doctor...nunca dan síntomas cuando deben de.
    Además, encontré que otra cosa "rara" sucede, cuando tengo un GIF animado en un Front Panel, lo copio y pego (o lo clono con Ctrl + mouse drag), la nueva copia cambia de frame muy lento, o se queda estática.
    Para mi aplicación, y para evitar cualquier problema de confiabilidad, realize las animaciones con un Picture Ring, y funciona muy bien. Por cierto, te agradezco el ejemplo de XControls, los conocía, pero no los he manejado a fondo, exploraré un poco al respecto, pero tambien me parece una excelente alternativa.
    Espero puedas reproducir las situaciones que te comento y te agradezco como siempre tu tiempo y tu ayuda.
    Saludos!

  • Animated gif stops on submit

    I display an animated gif on form submit

  • Animated gif stops too soon. HELP!!

    I am making an animated gif and for some reason it ends early when I save it. Everything looks fine when viewing the animation i the timeline. I've provided the link below. The ticker-style logos at end of animation are supposed to keep going, then end with six logos remaining static. Any ideas what could be wrong? Any help is appreciated!
    Best,

  • How come I can't view animated gifs as animations...in websites that have..

    them they are animated, but if i dwnld them, the animations stop running...and preview just allows me to view each of the still frames that make up the animation, but nothing seems to make it run...say i want it to run on my desktop for example? how would i do this?
    any ideas? thanks!

    ok..so far that is the closest to what i'm looking for..thanks my friend...so now my final question reclarified....on the desktop, as in files or program icons i have on the desktop..if i have a gif, that is just stored on my desktop..is there no way to animate it just directly on the desktop without having an internet app open as a transparent window? does that make sense...like wherever finder has the preview icon open for the animated gif....depending on how you have your view options of course, is there a way to have THAT animated? or is that just not possible at this stage?
    and a secondary question i guess...which the more i think about it is really just another way of wording the exisitng one...is ther eany way independent of internet browser to watch a gif animation?

  • Animated GIF not animated

    Hi,
    I have searched and searched but can't find a solution.
    I have an animated gif on my page but it only displays the first frame and does not animate.
    Anyone know how to make it work??

    if the gif is valid, it should animate without any help. Try opening the gif with a program like irfanview and see if it animates.

  • An Animated GIF displays, i.e. moves, for about 5 minutes, then freezes. Other GIFs from the site work indefinitely, and this GIF works indefinitely on IE. Why does it freeze in Firefox?

    An Animated Avatar GIF file moves as expected for about 5 minutes, and then freezes. Other animated avatars from the same site work fine, and move indefinitely. To confirm that the site had not exchanged the file for a non-animated version, I right-clicked and selected 'View Image Info' and when I did so, it moved for about half a second. (The image file was the one uploaded.) Loaded the page in IE, this avatar moves indefinitely.
    Any ideas why an animated GIF stops in Firefox?

    The answer is that Animated GIF files include a Loop Enable Flag as well as a Loop Limit Count. This GIF had a count which should have allowed it to loop for almost 2 hours. But in Firefox it only loops for about 5 minutes.
    It appears Firefox is misinterpreting this value to be a Frame Count rather than a Cycle Count.
    Is there any Firefox Employees reading this, and can acknowledge this has been added to their Opportunity (a.k.a. Bug) List?

  • Why doesn't Preview.app show me animated .gifs?

    I made an animated .gif with Macromedia Fireworks and it opens up perfect on a Windows Platform. But on my MacBook only the first frame opens and stays still as a single image.
    Once I open the .gif, in the Preview's Drawer, it shows me all of the single images that are supposed to be seen continously as an animation. But I repeat, no animation is played back.
    Help please, thank you.

    This is from the preview help document. What you are seeing is what is described for preview.
    Viewing animated GIFs
    An animated GIF is a graphic file that shows a short animation. Preview lets you look at each frame in the animation as an individual still image.
    Open the animated GIF file in Preview.
    If the window's drawer isn't already visible, choose View > Drawer.
    The drawer contains a thumbnail image for the animated GIF. The number of frames in the animation appears in the lower-right corner.
    Click the triangle beside the thumbnail image.
    Preview shows all the frames in the animated GIF. When you click a frame, the animation stops and Preview displays that frame.

  • How do I stop playing animated GIF's within web pages?

    Various websites display numerous images available for download. Some of those images are animated GIF files. These files take time to load and chew up a lot of my limited upload/download usage. IE Explorer let me see a single image for the GIF but doesn't load or play the GIF. How do I get that same setting in Mozilla Fire Fox?

    hello vyoumans,
    i found a couple different ways this can be done.
    1. this firefox addon, [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/toggle-animated-gifs/ Toggle animated GIFs], seems to work pretty good. ctrl+m toggles the animations on and off.
    2. if you don't want to install an addon, you can go to your browser configuration file. type ''about:config'' in the address bar and find the entry ''image.animation_mode''. double click it and set its value to ''none''. this should disable all GIF animations

  • GetURL Javascript Animated Gif and IE

    Do you know why when calling a JavaScript function
    from inside the Flash using the getURL(),
    the animated gifs stop looping ?
    for example:
    on (rollOver) {
    getURL("javascript: alert('after this the gifs will stop
    animate...');");
    }

    so no one else is having this problem?

  • Animated Gif's in Mac Mail

    There have been a couple of threads on this now closed without a solution. I discovered how a somewhat tedious way to get an animated gif into a mac mail msg while seeing the animation in action.
    I used iWeb to create a blank white pate. I then inserted the animated gif. I posted the page to my website. I placed a bookmark in Safari for this website. Now, when i want to send an email with this animated gif as a signature, I navigate to my website page in Safari, type ⌘I, and this brings up a blank email in MacMail with gif animating. Then just complete your message.

    JT,
    Thanks for the post. I don't pretend to be a guru. It appears from the other posts that Apple chose to prevent animated gifs from animating in Mac Mail to enhance security. I don't know much about making the gifs. Here's the animated gif on the web page. It's of a Toyota FJ Cruiser.

  • Getting Animated Gif files to animate

    Anyhad had any success at having animated gif files animating in Keynote 2? Mine doesn't seem to want to animate. Thx!

    Another thing, did you get your animated GIF from online or from a collection on CD/DVD? If you just drag and drop an animated GIF from Safari, it will usually only save the starting image. You have to control-click (or right-click) and Save File As… to save all parts of an animated GIF you download from the web. Off of a CD/DVD, there shouldn't be any such problem, though.

  • How to Make Animated GIF from Layer Comps?

    Have CS3 on XP.
    I have 15 Layer Comps created the way I like them...How do I make an Animated Gif or animated PNG from the Layer Comps?
    Id Like Each Layer of the animation to be one of the Layer Comps... so it shows the progression of the frames built from 1st to last.
    Thanks
    Suzzie

    I'm not sure off hand since I rarely ever have used layer comps, but I believe you need to flatten them before being able to use them in an animation...

  • View Animated GIF

    I have over 5000 icons, animated gifs, etc and would like to be able to preview these in Bridge with the animation.

    Hi,
    Bridge currently previews the animation in the Preview window. Are you asking to have animated gifs run animated in the main browser window?
