Adobe Edit Animated Gif. For this example Ill create a simple animated GIF image featuring products. However when you open a static GIF file the options normally available for image editing may be grayed out disabling most of Photoshops features.
You have to open the timeline window in order to move on with the process of making an animated GIF. After you open Photoshop click File Import Video Frames to Layers. Select GIF 128 Dithered from the Preset menu.
To load an animated gif all you need to do is fileopen then select the file.
Ill use five pictures of weights from the Rogue Fitness Instagram page. The file will place each frame onto its own layer and if you have the animation panel open If not select WindowsAnimation Each frame will be placed there as well. If the gif has a white background in the image then it will come into illustrator with a white background. A good size to practice with is 300 by 300 pixels at 72 dpi.
