Cannot stop animated gif from looping

[NickChia]

I have created a Fla in Animate. Under my Publish Settings, there is no "Gif" option, and no way to prevent looping (see pic). I don't understand this. When it was still Flash, this was easy to do. How do I stop my animated Gif from looping?

File.

Export.

Export Animated GIF...

Hi,

Yes, that is how I exported the GIF. That part is easy. But there is no place in "Publish Settings" or "Export Gif" to prevent looping, or even restrict it to a given number of loops. Were did it go in Animate? It was there in Flash.

Surely you've noticed that the GIF export window is larger than your screen.

[NickChia]

No, it is not. I took an area screen grab of the entire window.

Thanx, I just saw it. I didn't realize the window launched at partial height.

Thanx

Is there anyone out there that knows how ro do this? Did the option go away when Flash changed to Animate?

Mate,

It's admirable that you are willing to stand your ground, but as Clay said you are not seeing the whole window.

The UI in AA 20 is disgustingly large. It cannot fit into your screen and is truncated.

Increase your screen resolution or plug in an external display that is at least 1920x1080.

Here is how the GIF options actually look like. Take a careful look at the bottom.

Thanx, I just saw that.

I'm noticing that the file sizes are really large for the animated gifs. Maybe I can reduce it in Photoshop?
