GIFs are also great visuals for slideshow presentations because they add endless motion to an otherwise static slide. However, you can make a GIF in Photoshop with whatever images you would like.
Open your frames as layers in a Photoshop file. My favorite method is to prepare my frames in another program, like Adobe Illustrator. A special dithering technique is applied to animations to ensure that dither patterns are consistent across all frames and to prevent flickering during playback.
Due to these additional optimization functions, more time may be required to optimize an animated GIF than to optimize a standard GIF. When optimizing the colors in an animation, use the Adaptive, Perceptual, or Selective palette. This ensures that the colors are consistent across frames. Bounding Box. Crops each frame to the area that has changed from the preceding frame. Animation files created using this option are smaller but are incompatible with GIF editors that do not support the option.
This option is selected by default and is recommended. Redundant Pixel Removal. Makes all pixels transparent in a frame that are unchanged from the preceding frame.
The Transparency option in the Optimize panel must be selected for redundant pixel removal to work. Set the frame disposal method to Automatic when using the Redundant Pixel Removal option. See Choose a frame disposal method. When you flatten frames into layers, a single layer is created for each frame in a video layer.
To create a folder to contain your exported file, select the Create New Subfolder option and enter a name for the subfolder. Then choose a file format from the pop-up menu. These options specify the numbering system for the exported files. Then do any of the following if necessary:. Start Frame and End Frame. Currently Selected Frames Photoshop Extended.
Alpha Channel. Specifies how alpha channels are rendered. Select None to ignore the alpha channel, Straight-Unmatted to include the channel, or one of the Premultiplied options to mix a matte color with the color channels. Controls how surfaces are rendered if your project includes 3D objects. Interactive is suitable for video games and similar uses. Ray Traced Draft is low quality but lets the video render qucikly.
Ray Traced Final is high quality but the video takes a long time to render. Determines how many frames are created for each second of the video or animation. The Document Frame Rate option reflects the rate in Photoshop. An animation format for playback of computer-generated animations on workstations, Windows, and Mac OS. This format is also referred to as FLI. QuickTime Movie. The Apple Computer multimedia architecture that includes a number of codecs.
To export audio, you must use this format. A video format with intraframe compression that uses FireWire IEEE interface to transfer video to nonlinear editing systems. Image Sequence. A sequence of still images that can reside within one folder and use the same numeric or alphabetic filename pattern such as Sequence1, Sequence2, Sequence3, and so on.
Photoshop also supports other third-party formats such as Avid AVR codecs; however, the necessary QuickTime codecs must be installed. In QuickTime terminology, the term key frames refers to something different than the animation keyframes in Photoshop.
In QuickTime, key frames occur at regular intervals in the movie and are stored as complete frames. Each intermediate frame that separates them is compared to the previous frame, and only changed data is stored.
Using key frames greatly reduces movie size and greatly increases the memory required to edit and render a movie. Shorter intervals between key frames enable faster seeking and reverse playback, but can significantly increase the size of the file. Video Format. Selects the codec used during video export. If your source movie has only one video track and it is already compressed, you can choose Pass Through so that the video doesn't get compressed again.
Specifies the kilobits per second kbps during playback. A higher kbps rate usually improves movie playback quality; however, don't choose a data rate higher than the available bandwidth. Optimized For. Specifies the intended delivery method if you choose H. This setting tells the codec how much the data rate can vary above and below the data rate you choose. Specifies a standard for sending the file to a mobile phone.
Current maintains the source material size; the resulting file may not play on a mobile phone. Choose Custom to specify a size not listed in the menu. Preserve Aspect Ratio Using. Letterbox scales the source proportionally to fit into the clean aperture, adding black bars to the top and bottom or sides as necessary. Why are GIFs great additions to your marketing? They're easy to consume, provide a new way to capture your viewers' attention, and can have a serious emotional impact.
And since c ontent that makes us feel something encourages us to share, these tiny animations are worth experimenting with. The best part about GIFs is that they aren't too hard to make. If you have access to Photoshop and a few minutes to spare, you can create an animated GIF in no time.
In the following tutorial on making animated GIFs, I'm using the Creative Cloud version of Photoshop, but the steps should be similar in other versions. Gather the images you want in a separate folder. Then, select Browse, and choose which files you'd like to use in your GIF. Then, click OK. Photoshop will then create a separate layer for each image you've selected. Once you've done that, skip to step two.
Create each frame of the animated GIF as a different Photoshop layer. Be sure to name your layers so you can keep track of them easily when you make your GIF. To name a layer, go to the Layer panel on the bottom right of your screen, double-click on the default layer name, and type in the name you want to change it to. Press Enter when you're finished.
Once you have your layers in there and you've named them all, you're ready for step two. Pro Tip: If you want to combine layers so they appear in a single frame in your GIF, turn visibility on for the layers you want to merge by clicking on the "eye" to the left of each layer name so only the eyes for the layers you want to merge are open. Photoshop will create a new layer containing the merged content, which you should also rename.
The Timeline will let you turn different layers on and off for different periods of time, thereby turning your static image into a GIF. The Timeline window will appear at the bottom of your screen. Here's what it looks like:. If it's not automatically selected, choose it from the dropdown menu -- but then be sure to actually click it, otherwise the frame animation options won't show up. We will try covering both ways! The video could be anything depends on your choice but, try choosing the video or clip that is not too long.
Once you have decided on the video follow the below steps. Step 1: Download the video on the desktop you have chosen. Once done, trim it down to only the length you want the GIF to play. Try to make it a second clip. More would be hard to handle.
Step 2: Now open up the video in photoshop software. Here you will need to import the video you want to make a gif of. You can use the entire video or choose a particular portion by using sliders. Depends on your choice. Step 3: Here you can set up and change the settings.
Adjust color balance, effects, shadow, and whatnot can be done in photoshop. Once you are done with all the settings it is time to save the file. To save the file, all you will need to do is click on File and then Save for The Web.
