In this tutorial, I demonstrate how to create an animated GIF in Photoshop from a number of consecutive images. Thank you to everyone that emailed me after I posted my last Photoshop video telling me that I was pronouncing "GIF" incorrectly. I do not know what I'd do without you. ;) Seriously though, thank you to those that also told me I was incorrect when, in that previous video, I stated that one cannot create an animated GIF from images using Photoshop. ** I am an affiliate for all of the companies listed below EXCEPT Affinity Photo.

Literally all of the tutorials I was looking at to get a quick rundown on what tasks to perform did not include the one thing you cannot get past-CLICK the "Create Frame Animation" dropdown once you've chosen it as if it is a BUTTON! Thank you, I've been hung up on this and searching for what the problem was! I've never clicked on a dropdown menu item as a button anywhere in all of my days of using design and editing software! Never would have even guessed!
I had run into a few problems that had caused a delay in me creating a gif. Few mins ago, it was 12 minutes before my deadline. This tutorial helped me a lot, clear and straight to the point! The zoom-in edits really helped too! Helps me from struggling from having to zoom in every few seconds to figure out what to do. Thank you so much!
I like your videos so much that I give them a thumbs up before watching them. So many of the other youtubers(?) feel the need to insert "moist" music with unnecessary b- roll and sometimes I'm not sure if I'm watching a tutorial or a funeral memorial. 😄
Thanks, Anthony, that was wonderful. I was able to create an animated GIF with your clear instructions even though I am not Photoshop-savvy. Just one question - my animation appears to run too fast. Is there a way to slow it down?
This was super clear and easy, thank you! Do you happen to have any tutorials on how to apply coloring and/or PSDs to gifs? I feel like a total moron, but I can't figure out how to place coloring onto the entire timeline rather than one image at a time, and no matter how I word my search, I can't find instructions for it! Thanks!
Great video, thank you! Only thing I wanted to ask you. During export, you select Dithered 128, then when you chose color 256, the Dithered 128 selection goes away and says unnamed again.
Great tutorial. I'm able to follow it precisely abd everything works until i try to preview it or save it. I get a nessage that there isn't enough memory available, which is odd because i have a brand new MacBook Pro with hardly any memory used. Any thoughts?
HI Thank you for amazing techniques I have created a video music for christmas i want to put a slowly rotating 3D 2023 on the right lower corner of this clip can i bring mp4 into photoshop and animate this 2023 on seperate layers ? other programs keep watermarking after being saved..thanks..what would have been as your suggestion
HEY! If anyone accidentally presses the "Video" option just after the "Open Timeline" step, there is a little icon on the bottom left that toggles between the two timeline formats!
Excellent as always. But is there no setting for playback speed? I'll find out, as I'll be trying this tonight. I often take multiple shots of a waterfall for blending to get a silky slow-shutter look, so I have plenty of stock. This technique might work well on night sky shots too, like the hours of exposures I've taken to catch a few meteors. Lots of possibilities with this. You can open a gif in some video players. I believe the Windows 10 default player will play GIFs, but I use a version of MPC, or Media Player Classic, to play GIFs and even pause or advance them frame-by-frame.
Hey, I've been using this method for a long time and its been working great. Although now when I come to save the Giff, photoshop won't allow me to save it 128 dithered, with 256 colours, it automatically goes back to un-named, when I select this combo. Is there away around this, as the giffs are coming out pixelated. Thank you
Hi Anthony, all went smoothly until I watched the exported file. The colours were different from how they looked in PS and there was significant banding. Any suggestions?

This is so thorough, clear, and precise; perfect follow-along tutorial and just what I needed to refresh my memory and get a project done quickly!

Brilliant tutorial!!
This is about as perfect as a tutorial can be made. Thank you!!
Can't thank you enough, Anthony. I've been trying to figure this out while working with Cinemographs. Great!!!
Searching the web and finally, success! You made it clear and easy. Thanks!
Thanks for the super QUICK tutorial! Needed to do this for work quickly, and you came through. Appreciate the efficient delivery. :)
I tried many and this is the only one that worked. Thank you.
Awesome! You're like the Bob Ross of Photoshop. I really enjoy your content, thank you!
TERRIFIC Tutorial, Anthony. Really appreciate the effort.
Thank you for this. I create maybe 1 gif a year from images of something goofy one of my brothers is doing. I always need a refresher on how to do.
Thank you. This is a great, simple tutorial, with clear instructions. This is exactly what I needed to create an animated map series.
Thank you so much !! I could not figure out the reverse part!!. Other guy was suggesting to add the clip one by one but you had a correct solution!!
Thanks, Anthony, that was wonderful. I was able to create an animated GIF with your clear instructions even though I am not Photoshop-savvy. Just one question - my animation appears to run too fast. Is there a way to slow it down?
Thanks Anthony! Great video again, short and sweet! and easy to follow
Thanks! A much better explanation than Adobe!
Great info! Another good real world tip. I frequently would like to use a gif and can’t seem to find one I like.
Very nicely done and thank you Anthony!
Thank you for explaining this in an easy to follow format!
Just a big thanks for the help , been struggling with this on and off for just over an hour before finding your vid.
Thank you, very simple and elegantly shown and explained.
This was super clear and easy, thank you! Do you happen to have any tutorials on how to apply coloring and/or PSDs to gifs? I feel like a total moron, but I can't figure out how to place coloring onto the entire timeline rather than one image at a time, and no matter how I word my search, I can't find instructions for it! Thanks!
I didn't know you could do this!!!! Thank you so much for the tutorial :)
Great video, thank you! Only thing I wanted to ask you. During export, you select Dithered 128, then when you chose color 256, the Dithered 128 selection goes away and says unnamed again.
Thanks. Do you know if Affinity Photo can do the same?
Great tutorial. I'm able to follow it precisely abd everything works until i try to preview it or save it. I get a nessage that there isn't enough memory available, which is odd because i have a brand new MacBook Pro with hardly any memory used. Any thoughts?
Thanks so much, this video gave perfect, easy-to-follow directions!
HI
Thank you for amazing techniques
I have created a video music for christmas
i want to put a slowly rotating 3D 2023 on the right lower corner of this clip
can i bring mp4 into photoshop and animate this 2023 on seperate layers ?
other programs keep watermarking after being saved..thanks..what would have been as your suggestion
Thank you Anthony! Also can be done from a video in Vimeo! And really quick and easy!
Great video. PS: I think Dave Chappelle owes you royalties for using your voice on his shows
How to delay the time between image?
HEY! If anyone accidentally presses the "Video" option just after the "Open Timeline" step, there is a little icon on the bottom left that toggles between the two timeline formats!
Excellent as always. But is there no setting for playback speed? I'll find out, as I'll be trying this tonight. I often take multiple shots of a waterfall for blending to get a silky slow-shutter look, so I have plenty of stock. This technique might work well on night sky shots too, like the hours of exposures I've taken to catch a few meteors. Lots of possibilities with this.
You can open a gif in some video players. I believe the Windows 10 default player will play GIFs, but I use a version of MPC, or Media Player Classic, to play GIFs and even pause or advance them frame-by-frame.
Theres is an option on photoshop for how long each frame should be or you could also just make video in Premier and make a gif out of that.
Thank you so much, Anthony!
Cool!! What a great tutorial, never knew you could do this in PS. Thanks!!
Super helpful!!! This was the fastest and easiest explanation. Thnxs!!!!
You're a wonderful instructor, thank you so much! That was very helpful.
This was so helpful. Thank you!!
you can also select the file and press space. This will preview it and you'll see it as a gif. (on mac)
Great tutorial. So I imagine if you are creating an image that already has layers, you need to flatten it before you create the gif?
Hey, I've been using this method for a long time and its been working great. Although now when I come to save the Giff, photoshop won't allow me to save it 128 dithered, with 256 colours, it automatically goes back to un-named, when I select this combo. Is there away around this, as the giffs are coming out pixelated. Thank you
Hi Anthony...thanks for the video. Question: Can the new GIF be loaded onto Instagram or Facebook without any other modifications?
worked perfectly, thanks for this!
Cool, I wondered how to do this. Thanks!
Please create more videos like that!! I was so perfect....
I Love U ❤️ finally someone’s clear 🙌
Excellent tutorial video. It is straight forward.
Your video was so helpful. Thanks a lot!🥰
So helpful. Thank you.
Nice explanations! Super useful thank you!
Thanks for the great video....really helped me out .
perfect video - thank you
Fantastic thanks
Hi Anthony, all went smoothly until I watched the exported file. The colours were different from how they looked in PS and there was significant banding. Any suggestions?
This is very useful. Thanks!
You are the best ❤
Love your voice! soothing..
Thank you, huge help
Thank you sir that was very informative and helpfull....
hi, im struggling because the colors comes off like partly transparent but dark and it comes super big, any suggestions to what i did wrong ? thanks
Thank you ser!
thank you!!
Is it possible at all to save this as an MP4 file and not a GIF?
gotta make it in adobe premier
Thank you
How come when I do this and upload the gif file onto mydrive it doesn’t play. It doesn’t play in vlc either, only in photos app and on web.
What edition is the Photoshop?
Thank you!
thanks!
Thanks. Incidentally, I'm the 913th to like this vid and the file I'm about to make an animated gif of is 913x913 pixels. What are the odds?
What's a blink pixel?
Thanks so much... I was trying to create this using Photoshop Help...which was no help...lol
how do you change the speed
Ok but how do I share this file to my phone and to others?
I don't have a "make new frame from layers" option
Great tutorial!!! Thank you!! :))
Hey that's Letchworth
Mine isn't moving why
Letchworth State Park Upper Falls?
cheers
you changed it to 128 dithered, then when you picked the color 256, it went back to unnamed.
Easy? Easy! You call that easy? Oh wait, I forgot... I'm stupid.
