    CS6 ? Make a GIF with multi images

    Netcommercial Community Member

      Hi All thanks for looking in,

      I want to make a gif from multiple images. However I was hoping to do it with one import of my 30 images? Can this be done via batch import ?  I only found making one layer at a time in the tuts I found.

      If so please tell me the path to do so..

      How to ram preview?

       

      I am exporting an AE timeline as PNG's and want it as a GIf to play...

       

      Thanks

          Try File/Scripts/load files into stack.  Each image will be a layer.

            Curt,

             

            Thanks for that.  That worked fine. Appreciate it.

             

            For those looking to do the same. After import. (As Curt shared above)

             

            Shift select all and hit little menu at the bottom of viewport and just above the Time line and there you will find>Create New Layer for Each New Frame.

             

            In my case they all needed to be selected once placed end for end to then be reversed. Via Shift select all in T.L Same menu ."Reverse"

             

            Shift select all to adjust time each frame.

             

            EDIT: to share How to make Gif from sequence after Batch import

              I've just had an idea for a feature request.  In fact I actually just tried it in case it worked and I'd been missing the trick all these years, but it didn't.

               

              Add a new option to the Photomerge and Auto Align Layers dialog box that will Tile the images into a sort of Contact sheet. It would need an option to resize to fit, and would create the sort of layout we see on sites like flickr nowadays.

                Trevor,

                There is an option to align if batch importing @ time of import. Not sure what a Contact sheet is. Sorry bud I cannot see what you see....Might want to head over to feature request and be a bit more detailed on that one.

                  There is a better way then above to create a gif from a stack or multi images:

                   

                  Step 1:

                  Window > Workspace > Motion

                  step 1.PNG

                   

                  Step 2

                  See + sign at bottom of viewport Hit that.                 

                  step 2.PNG

                  IMPORT

                   

                   

                  See far Left hand bottom (3 squares in a row) click there

                  This will offer the option to switch to> Convert timeline to frame animation

                  step 3.PNG

                   

                  Step 4

                   

                  Set Up:

                   

                  At top of W.S--Image>Image size (ALT+ctrl+i) SET YOUR OUTPUT SIZE

                   

                  Now at Bottom--See loop value Once,3times, forever, other

                   

                  TIP-Shift click all frames to set time to show each frame using arrow menu at bottom of any of your selected frames.

                   

                  step 4.PNG

                   

                  File> save for web> dialogue box appears to then click on desired quality.

                   

                  Save and or preview from there as well.
