GIF Looping option unavailable?

[IamLil]

Hey

I'm trying to export my gif and the looping option is locked. I did it a few days ago and worked fine. I then created a new project with a new 1080p image and when I export to web it won't let me select loop. I have no idea why and I'm starting to worry. Nothing else has changed - no program updates or anything. (On a mac)

It contains maybe 30 frames, I edited the video in AE and then exported to mp4 before opening it in photoshop so it should be small enough.

Please post a screenshot with the Timeline Panel and the Save for Web dialog visible.

Hi

I don't have the project on me at the moment but I took a photo of part of the timeline before I left. I know it probably doesn't really help but the project was shot on 4k and I tried to export it in 1080p. Do you think it's still too large? Or the duration might be too long? It goes for maybe 3 or 4 seconds.

You can't.   I'm guessing that you have since realized that your MP4 file is actually a video, and not a frame animation.  You can change it back to a frame animation again though.  The Loop Forever option would then become available.
