Hi, I am hoping someone will be able to help,

Ive recently taught myself animation on photoshop, but when coming to save it is coming up with errors?

Is there another way I can save this?

    More likely the gif format is bulking. It is just too old of a format for what you would like to do. It was created way before 1080 px resolutions and fine gradients just aren't in the cards. A video format is a much better solution. Most browsers can play mp4 files. So that would be a good place to start.

    If Photoshop does not know what the problem is I surly do not.  What you can try to get around the problem is to render out an MP4 video fot that video timeline.  If that works. Open the MP4 video in Photoshop  see if you can save for Web an animated gif of the MP4 video.

    JJ is it even possible to export a video timeline to a frame animation?  I would have thought not.

    Trevor, if Photoshop can not, I know you can export as an image sequence then use After Effects or another program to render to just about any format.
    But, Photoshop can convert a video timeline to animation frames. So it should be doable.
