Can't import animated gif into photoshop

[jesseredstone]

I'm trying to edit an animated gif that I created in an iPad app, and I've read that you can import animated gifs in Photoshop.  But when I try "Import>Video Frames to Layers" and select the gif I get the error message, "Could not complete the Video Frames to Layers command because the file could not be opened."

Just open the gif normally with the open command in Photoshop. Video Frames to Layers doesn't work with gifs, as a gif really isn't a video.

It runs in a loop animation if I open it in my web browser. But I want to
add a frame with text around it. I've tried importing it in Photoshop,
Illustrator and Indesign and so far it hasn't worked. I read I've never
used After Effects, but I'm wondering if that would be better suited to the
task because it's more designed for motion graphics.

We’ve said, don’t import it to

Photoshop, instead open it in Photoshop. What happens when you do?

[Alexandre Becquet]

Hello, you should open the gif with Photoshop 😉 and you should see all layers and when you go to Window/timeline you should see all the frame.

Just open and change what you want 😉

Hello and thank you. Is there a way to open this in an already existing photoshop file? I've created the background, but unfortunately can't seem to add this gif to the background.

Not very elegant but you can convert the GIF to MP4 (eg. https://express.adobe.com/tools/convert-to-mp4) and import
