Question

photoshop single frame animated gif saving issue

I have created gif's in PS from groups of single images via script-load files into stack. I am now trying to load a video clip into layers via import layers into frames. I have been wrestling with this for a moment and that is the best way I have found to load them and keep the entire video within the 500 frames allowed. I change the "limit to every" to whatever is needed to fit the video into 500 frames. Right now I have it at 3. I had it higher to fit more video, but I condensed the video down in hopes that might fix my issue. It did not. I am trying to save it via export for web-gif. However I have tried changing the color mode and saving it via save as-gif, but that is not working either. I have tried changing it back to video selecting all layers and creating a new video group from clips and converting that back into frame animation, but that did not work either. I am at my ropes end. I try to exhaust every option I can think of prior to asking for help. It helps me to solve problems in the future. I guess I am there b/c I am about to give up. Hopefully someone here can help me. Thank you for taking the time to read this whether you can help me remedy this issue or not.

Well, no offense, even exhausting the 500 frame limit for a GIF is pretty insane, especially with your colorful animations. And that probably explains most of the issues: Given the complexity, PS may simply take forever to analyze the files to generate a palette in the GIF and similar. I suppose "being at the end of your ropes" it's time to look into genuine video processing/ compositing apps liek After Effects to at the very least produce more optimized image sequences that could be imported without PS having to do extra hard work, like e.g. using time-remapping to compress the duration and retime the animation or applying effects to reduce color palettes, then export separate chunks that PS can actually handle. At the very least it would free you up from always having to wait for anything to actually happen and that alone may be worth it...

    No offence taken. My ignorance is no secret I am able to keep from myself. I am fairly new to digital and computer generated grafix and jumped in head first. I have access to fusion (not even sure if that is comparable), but not at all familiar. Been waiting on my associate to walk me through it a bit. Maybe I will discuss getting After effects considering I am already so familiair with Ai and Ps.  Thanks
