Black frames at end of animated gifs

When you make banners using AE to convert 3 to 5 seconds of video in animated GIF, I noticed that there are always black frames at the end that appear each time the banner is played repeatedly. However, these frameworks do not seem to occur if the output is swf files. Y at - it a medium format or source to work around the problem of black frames with animated gifs? I not had this problem with other software gif animated, that I used, but the quality of the EA is better, other than this issue. Appreciate help with this.

Just checked the help files and the SOUL supports animated gifs but only on Windows. Sorry I missed it.

If you get black images at the end, then simply adjust the point of exit in the SOUL. You probably see a set cadence match. Fix you this in AE and not a SOUL.

Useful for Animated Gifs should have a very low number of executives and a slow pace to be useful. 3 seconds to 29.97 FPS will make a big enough file for a banner size. Not see the project, but looking at the description I was wondering if your comp is 29.97 FPS, but you've made your gifs at 15 frames per second or even lower. If this is the case, that the black frames at the end could easily be the result of some funky things going on with the gif rendering engine.

I still maintain my suggestion to use a film in Photoshop. Most of animated gifs that I created require different lengths for different periods. I'll start with 5 frames a.1 seconds for a transition, then hold the 6th framework during 6 seconds, then the transition to slide with 1 more pictures a.1 2 second, then the frame h 17-6 seconds and 12 seconds of animation gif with 17 images. You can't do that with the SOUL, you would end up with an animated gif with 120 frames for the same thing.

  • Add static background pictures to all frames of animated gif

    First of all, I'm not a regular Fireworks. I use it when I have to do something (especially web optimazations). I would use it more, but frankly in many cases, the user interface is not intuitive for any other adobe makes.

    Here's my problem...

    I have to Add (not substitute) static type of basis to ALL frames (states) in an animated gif with Fireworks (with alpha), the image of the final product will be a part in the animation of web edge... Details

    I have a lively seq of a spinning object has been created in 3ds max and rendered as a png with alpha seq.

    I opened the SEQ "as an animation" in fireworks. I set the pace. He plays very well. So far so good...

    I imported an image I want to be BEHIND the seq animated on all chassis. I tried to put it on a layer of void behind, I tried to put it on its own layer behind, but it shows that on the first image (State).

    I tried to use 'share with all States', but it replaces images SEQ already on "States" rather than add behind them as in the arrangement of layers.

    So first, is this possible and if so, how?

    Secondly, why is it then process against intuitive in fireworks? I mean if the layer is behind something, then it should be a click on a single button or checkbox etc to say 'show on all chassis (States)', you know like any other adobe product brands. Same "ready image" made more sense than that.  My thought process that has been since I needed to find in fireworks to create and optimize the gif that I should be able to put it together again but it turns out to be much more difficult than expected. I guess I can just composite my elements in AE (which is a piece of cake compared to the Fireworks) and will then return to SEQ another think I import to fireworks to create optimized gif. While I'm a fan of the concept of 'creative suite', one of my biggest complaints about "suite" is the lack of oversite master so keyboard and fundimental UI concepts features common, shortcuts are evenly across all the apps so it works as a 'suite' and not just a collection of separate applications. I know that demanding that all applications of following certain rules would slow development, in the long run it would make it much easier for the end-user to spend more time being "creative" and less time trying to understand why something does not work as it does in other applications. Just my $.02

    Thanks for any help and or explanation

    From your original animation, create a new layer and then import the image into it. Don't forget to give your layer a distinct name not already in use by another layer. Don't bother trying to drag your layer to the position of the bottom of the layer stack. It's a nightmare. Instead, leave the layer to the second lowest position and then drag the layer of background (or background) above him.

    Once the image has been added to its own layer and this layer has been named and properly positioned, you are ready to share with other States. Select the layer in the layers, ctrl-click for the context menu panel, then choose layer part in the States.

  • Animated GIF - problem with Frame Delay

    Mac OS X 10.5.8

    PSE 6.0

    I just created an animated gif by following the steps in the help of PSE.  It says that I should be able to adjust the speed at which the images turn by changing the Frame Delay measure but I am unable to change it.  In fact, I am unable to change anything in the Animation of the dialog section.

    When I check the Animation, the options appear to become active (they are gray is no longer) but I can uncheck the loop option or change the Frame Delay option.  All other sections of the dialog box work fine.

    Your help would be most appreciated!

    Beth

    Unfortunately, it's broken in PES 6 and 8 of PSE. You can tab into the frame delay box if you start on it somewhere on this side of the screen and it appears to allow you to change the rate, but your choice does not really affect the actual rate. The only solution is to duplicate the layers image that you want to remain on the screen longer (so it will change just as fast, but not obviously).

  • Animated GIF > save for Web (legacy) ends too large

    I created an animated GIF on a work plan which is 768 x 90, but the Dimensions of the Document indicate 1456 x 416 (a lot of the images fly in and "shrink").

    When I export as a PNG or JPG image it only exports the work plan, so that it remains the size I want to (768 x 90); but when I export > save for Web (Legacy) which is the only way to create an animated GIF AFAIK, it is exported to 1456 x 416.

    How can I get to the exit of the GIF animated image to the size of the artboard? Thank you.

    New export > export as a workflow is not animated gifs, currently exporting. It's probably something that will be supported in the future, however.

    To export a gif animated image in PS using Photoshop CC 2015, do not work plans. Please use export > save for Web (legacy) option without work plans. The backup of the Web feature levels is not support work plans and probably never will be. Instead, we will continue to improve and to the export as a workflow.

    and I have attached AnimatedGIFField.java

    I think something is wrong in your establishment or the way you use this code, because it works very well for me.  Sorry you'll have to do investigative work to identify the problem.

    I suspect there are two possibilities:

    (a) you have not configured your environment properly

    (b) you use something else keeps track of events

    I think that (b) is the most likely, but to test these two at the same time, you must proceed as follows:

    Create a new project and a new example application, then, in this application, test the screen.  Nothing else in this project - it should start just a screen, the screen should have a button, when you click the button the treatment should push the pop-up screen.

    I have included my code (which combines Animation and popup screen into one file - not recommended but useful source under test).  Use this code and the image as an attachment in your new project.

    Test it on your Simulator.

    Assuming that you can get this working, then we can investigate on what is actually wrong in your application.

  • [Flash Pro] Motion tween is added an animated GIF picture

    * FIRST - I couldn't find one

    Hi, I'm working on a school project and we have recently I do an animation before Monday.

    So my problem is that I have a GIF of a man walking (which already has images by default to make the man walk) and I can not add a motion tween.

    So we learned essentially to take a car for example. We import a photo of a car (non - gif; no pre animated movement) and select it. make a symbol (video clip), then click on frame 30 and "Create motion tween" as we moved the image to the end; What makes a path automatically.

    But here, I can't do that because when I import the GIF man walking, he already has lots of raster data built in front to make the moving man and I cannot understand how to really add a motion tween to make man to move (of course with its PRE-BUILT animation [gif makes the arms and legs move]) and make him cross a road I built. So basically I want the man to move from one end to the other using a motion tween (or if there are other ways to do?) and alongside with its GIF data that moves its arms and legs.

    Small SS of my calendar:

    http://prntscr.com/b2qqwa

    as you can see here; the second element/first layer called "anyone walk - 1" is a GIF image and when I load it, it loads its pre movements animated and I can't create a Tween to make humans image cross one end to the other with her has pre-built ones again.

    Long, but I tried to make the Guide and all other acts and I tried Googling my head, spent 4 hours and found NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. And our teacher didn't us really learn this type of concept and neither do I class before it is due, so you are my only hope.

    Thank you.

    See if you can follow these steps:

    Right-click on the name of the layer to the market-1 person.

    Select the copy layer.

    Go to the library and click right in and empty the part of the library window and select new symbol. Will it be a movieclip.

    Now, you will be inside this new movieclip. Right click in the layer 1 name and select the layer of dough.

    You now have a moveiclip of your person walking. Go back to the top level of the scene and make a new layer.

    Drag the new movieclip on the stage.

    You should now be able to add a motion tween to this new layer. So who has worked, you can delete your original person market-1 layer.

  • A break at the end of a gif file

    So I'm wanting to create a looped gif in photoshop.  I have several layers of film with the mixture and keyframes to create a perfect loop.  When I hit the space bar button for play in the timeline, it plays and repeats as expected.

    Screen Shot 2016-04-22 at 10.25.21 AM.png

    When I save to the web as a gif file, I put it a loop forever.  Once it's done export, I get a gif, but I a very long pause at the end of the gif before it begins to roll again.  I found that it might be a delay of image on the first or the last frame of the animation.  So I changed the chronology of video animation of image editing.  I noticed the first delay of framework has been defined in the animation of image, 28.23 seconds.  So I changed which a.03 like all the others.

    Screen Shot 2016-04-22 at 10.28.49 AM.png

    But when I leave the animation image and return to the video editing, my layers are converted and is no longer where I had them.

    Screen Shot 2016-04-22 at 10.31.18 AM.png

    So I thought maybe it's because I changed the first delay of frame, my layers became out of sync. I went back in history and started my project to the point where my diapers were in the right position.  I then returned to the animation of image and video editing without changing anything, and my layers did the same thing as before.

    Finally, I tried to make my layers as a single play mov file.  Once it has been exported in mov format, I imported this file in photoshop and tried to make a gif of this layer of 1 / 1 file.  Same problem as before... long pause in the loop.

    Anyway, the main problem is preventing the long break after the end of the gif, until she begins to roll again.  Any advice on what I might be missing would be great.

    Here's the gif with the long break.

    www.beaugureaufood.com/online/Clip0162-from-mov-file.gif

    To make it even more fun, the link above doesn't seem to be a loop, yet the file in my browser performs.

    Do not use Quicktime .mov quicktime is poor and go away and is a security exposure.

    Do not create an animated gif.

    To make what you want as an animation image would be difficult to create. You create layers for frames each of the video layer. Define modes for all layers of high level, leaving the normal background layers of fusion. Set up the right number of frames in the animation frame panels then together what layer are visible in every frame.

    You'll wind upward with a large animated GIF file that has the wrong color and no audio.

    You'd be much better rendering on a video h.264 mp4 which will color much better, can have audio, and can be played in a loop auto speed controls and the playback volume in a HTML5 video page.  Restore all what you seem to be in your video editing. An h.264 MP4.

    The file size will be much smaller than an animated gif file or .mov.  Performance will also be better.

  • Animated GIF how to animate already?

    I want to add a gif animated (like http://i.imgur.com/0ySdU.gif) loop to a scene and animate it (the size of the object should change).

    How can I do this?

    Any help is appreciated! See you soon!

    This particular animated gif appears to be corrupt. But normally you would simply import animated gif, and it should become a movieclip. If it is not, as was the case with this gif, you should always get the frames of the animation. You can then arrange them in the timeline to a new movieclip. To make it grow and shrink you would copy some of the executives at the end of the sequence, and then select the frames, right-click and choose Revrse images.

    If there are 5 images, you would end up with this in your timeline:

    12345432

    Which loop to well, and you can place the movieclip on the stage, to resize the entire animation.

  • Record animated gif problem

    Hello!

    Just for fun I was intending to change a gif of tackle football animation. I intend to remove the player attacking every frame of the animated gif image. So it would take time to complete.

    I correctly opened the gif in CS6 via import of video frames to layers.

    It consists of 72 layers and I tried to fix 10 of them just to see how it would roughly look like.

    My problem comes when I try to save and restore the GIF (via save for WEB).

    The first 10 images of my gif displays only an image of freezing, and then it shows the rest of the 11-72 without any problem.

    What am I doing wrong, because my layers edited does not appear in the final GIF?

    http://i.imgur.com/IeNX8.jpg

    Right away! Easy solution.

    First of all, the reason why your first 10 frames do not change is because each of these images shows the same layer (Layer 1).

    • In your layers panel, you have 1 layer visible value and all of the other layers are invisible. It's good for image 1, but for part 2, you'll want to do 2 layer that is visible.
    • Click on image 2 in your editing panel and then check the eyeball icon to make the visible Layer 2 ! Do the same for the frame 3/Layer 3, Frame 4/layer 4, etc until you reach the end of the animation!

    For the second problem, to make frames from layers option is grayed out because you already have pictures in your timeline.

    • Go to your timeline panel and select all the images and delete them.
    • Then select all your layers in the layer panel, right click and choose the Images made of layers... you should be able to click it once your Timeline is disabled. It will automatically create the images that range from Layer 1 to your last layer (so you wouldn't have to do it manually as above ^).

    Anyway should take care of your problem! Please let me know if it works for you!

    See you soon,.

    I have an animated gif that I built years ago.  He has 35 frames, so I would like to change the colors, but do it together.  I don't have the original files that I had a computer crash, while they are all gone.  The site will change color, so I need to change some of the colors in the gif.  Is there an automated way to do this?

    Thank you!

    What version of PS and when you open the gif in Photoshop you want to see in the timeline palette or animation? Show a screenshot. What you see may be very different frome how you created. But you may be able to do what you want by adding an adjustment layer him apply to each image. Here is a gif that I created using two layers.  When I opened the gif one get a layer for each image. Here are two screenshots. When I opened the GIF and I opened the original source PSD file.

    I guess you do first executives and the last of the Gif, the same, but their time combined total time you want for this image. Do a crossfade at each end of your sequence of images.
