Hey old friend! Remember me!? ^^' I need your help at this actually. Currently making a new avatar, but dunno where i went wrong, or maybe i forgot at some part or somethin', cuz' the problem is that when i turn it into gif. (of course like the way u last time taught me through save for web & devices) and i checked it in the internet, the fps seems to be like a 0,5 fps but in the cs5 (i use this ver anyhow now ^^) i use it w/ some of 0 and 0.1 fps.

I tried everything, though most frames were given some duplicates to make it smoother in the motion. Any idea how?
Or duplicating some frames was the cause?

maybe duplicating the frames did cause it to be different, try it without the extra frames

0-Akasha-0 In reply to orihalchon [2009-04-01 01:24:44 +0000 UTC]

are you saving it in the "save for web and devices" option instead of "Save" or "save as" ?

orihalchon In reply to 0-Akasha-0 [2009-04-01 14:21:56 +0000 UTC]

no. i save it with ur instructions. but why it wont move?

0-Akasha-0 In reply to orihalchon [2009-04-02 04:23:46 +0000 UTC]

you have to save it in the option "Save for web and devices" and make sure that when you save it the option for it to move is checked, i have CS3 extended and it still the same. i made an animation the other day the exact same way and it worked fine, if you're not sure i could upload an image to see if that is what is wrong

ok, cuando hagas nuevos frames en el animation palet todos los layers estan selecionados, tienes ke seleccionar el layer correcto para cada frame y eso se hace seleccionando el frame y en el layer palet marcar solo el layer que le pertenece al frame, solo puede haber un layer visible por frame.

mira las imagenes al lado del 4. y veras ke en la primera el ojo esta rojo en el frame #2 y cuando selecciono solo un layer cambian al color del layer que seleccione. en otras palabras, en las peque~as imagenes de los frames tienes que ver las mismas imagenes que en el layer palette, para ver si funciona dale al simbolo de (> play en el animation palette
