Hi All,

I am looking for advice on how to accomplish an action.

Summary :

I would like to bring a video into photoshop and export it as a series of 1 second gifs to a folder.

A little more detail:

With the video, I would like to use a photoshop action to cut the video into a series of 1 second gifs.

For instance a 60 second video would be cut into 60 separate - 1 second gifs. Id like to just be able to import a video, and export a gif

Any advice? Can I tell the action to move the play head forward one second and repeat until end of video?

I appreciate your help.

Jesse

Because Videos vary in duration Actions would have a hard time of it because they can not use logic to get at information like duration and use that information to know how many seconds the video is to make that number of gifs. Or even be able to uniquely name output gifs. A Photoshop Script may be able to automate your process. But you most like do not have the knowledge and skills required to Programs Photoshop Scripts.
