create annimated gif

[Chris Milt]

Hi I am trying to use the create an animated gif, the first time I used this it worked a treat.  I am now trying to create another gif and the button referred to in the tutorial Create animated GIFs |  doesn't show up?  see attached image. I am converting video.

Thanks Chris

Your screen shot is showing a Frame animation, and not a video in the timeline.  You are not seeing the button you referred to, because you have already converted the video into a frame animation, and you can now export it as an animated GIFF.

Do you know how to do the export?

Trevor thanks for your guidance - much appreciated Chris

Hi If you are importing your video (step 1 in the instructions)  and you have "Make frames from layers" checked then when you open the timeline the frame animation will already be created so steps 2&3 are not needed

Just open the timeline and go straight to step 4 in the instructions
