GIF Frame Animation Export - DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY - BROKEN

Hi Adobe,

 

I'm sure of this statement. Frame GIF animations are easier than Legos. I have a 3-frame animation that's 1 sec, 1sec, 5sec...and the timing is all screwed up. Reviewing during eport it gets stuck on the 2nd frame and then after that starts from the last frame. Similar issues are happening with my 4-frame animations.

 

I'm on a Mac, is that part of it?

I have client asking me all the time for animated GIFs these days, please fix this problem.

I will add that this issue only happens with Photoshop. I used AE Juice GIF maker in AFX and then used an online GIF optimizer to get the GIF under 200k and it worked. However, briefly I had the same problem where the GIF stuck on the the second to last frame. It seemed to be a splinter frame issue where the second clip wasn't going all the way flush to the last clip in the AFX timeline. ?? I had it set at 1 fps so it was a little odd. But that happened as well.

 

Ugh, lame. Anyway, if somebody runs into this you can use Photoshop on Mac to export GIFs but it's results aren't 100% depending on how you're viewing the ads.

SOLUTION (sort of) - So...I guess it works, but you can't preview it in Mac Finder. I think that's potentially the answer. 

 

I could be wrong but wanted to post a follow-up.
