PS animation trouble.....

Very strange...when attempting to add one, or any of my layers into the animation box, i am only able to duplicate the existing frame that is already in the animation box......and i never put it there in the first place...

the frame seems to be uneditable, except if i want to repeat the layer.......



Ive also tried dragging and/or importing the layers i want to use as animation, and am unable to get them to work or show up in an existing Photoshop file......



help??

thank you!

Jennifer,



Please give us your system, OS, and PS stats so we know what kind of environment you're working in. And the size and type details of the images you are attempting to animate.



Also, did you go through the Help menu/online help on how to do animations?



Thanks.
PS animation trouble.....
Hello, thanks for the reply!



I work with a mac OS 10.5.6

PhotoShop is CS2, V9.0.2



I actually dont have a problem creating the animation...the issue is attempting to carry it over into an existing psd file.....



Yes, I did look through the Help...

Save the file you want to place and then go file place and select the file it will come in as a smart object but be a video sequence on a different layer.

...it actually only worked when copying each frame, then pasting it in the new file......now for some reason, my animation plays fine when in photoshop, but when i do ''save for web'', and do a preview in browser, the animation does not work.....



thanks for all the help!

File%26gt;Export%26gt;Render Video



Save for the Web choose Gif as the format and you can preview the animation in the Save for the Web dialog they have animation controls to the right side.

did that, and can preview the animation fine in image ready, but if the animations not showing up in the browser preview, thats not good.

How are you trying to open the file in the browser?



it is a quicktime is that correct? Or is ti a gif animation?

it opens no problem, ..in photoshop, save for web, then clicking on browser icon

sorry...its a gif anima

To edit the layer, you'll need to change it from indexed mode to RGB mode. That should let you edit them.

thats how it is now.....problem is having/creating more than one animation on the same page/file
