    Animated GIF Doesn't Play To The End

    thanser Community Member

      I've created a simple animated GIF in Photoshop CS6, eight seconds long, 30fps.

       

      I have several layers that fade out at and then more layers that fade IN at four seconds. It plays perfectly in Photoshop, but a rendered GIF doesn't play entirely to the end - it stops prematurely.

       

      How do I fix this?  I've tried the animated GIF in a browser and it does the same thing in a PPT slide.

       

      Anyone?

       

      Thanks.

          I think Save For Web has a frame limit of 500 (or it did in past versions).

          How many frames does it contain?

          What's the file size?

            Thank you, Nancy.

             

            I just reduced my project file down to 15fps and three seconds long.  Testing the animation in the Save for Web dialogue box I see that it still won't play to the end.  The fade-in stops before it's at 100% opacity.

             

            The rendered GIF file size would be 242k.  I HAVE to use Save for Web, as Save As will discard hidden layers and animations.

             

            Still can't figure out what causes this, and I've had this happen to me before.  (I bet I wouldn't have this problem rendering out of After Effects.)
