Hello

 

I made a psd file with several animated gif on it on different artboards. When I export artboards to files so I can export my gif, the created files don't have animation. Did I do something wrong ?

 

I have Photoshop 23.0.2

Ok I managed to do something by doing slices on my artboards. I had to remove the empty files and rename this others to give them the artboard's names but it works fine.

The Artboards to Files command doesn't support the GIF format.

 

To export your animated GIFs, go to File > Export > Save for Web (Legacy) and in the dialog that opens, set the format to GIF. You can adjust the other GIF settings and preview your animation in that dialog before clicking Save...

Unfortunattly this does not really work with artboards (only one document with all the artboards on it)

As far as I know the timeline will not export out with artboards.
