Question

How set frame delay of gif with Photoshop Script

I'm new at this. I'll be glad for any advice. I researched the documentation and also tried to find something useful here but I didn't find anything. I try to write the code which gets the last frame of the gif and sets the delay of this frame. Like on this screenshot in Photoshop. Any ideas? Thanks for attention!

Pseudocode example: 


const allFrames = myGif.getAllFrames

const lastFrame = allFrames[allFrames.length - 1]

lastFrame.setFrameDalay(1)

 

Something like this...

Hello,

 

I came by this page, which is a little old. If you have not solved your issue, here is a link to scripting guides for photoshop, you should find guides using different scripting languages.

I hope they are useful.

They are useless in this case.

This code solves the author's problem, but you will not find information about the animation frame class in the scripting guides.

 

var s2t = stringIDToTypeID;

(r = new ActionReference()).putEnumerated(s2t("animationFrameClass"), s2t("ordinal"), s2t("last"));
(d = new ActionDescriptor()).putReference(s2t("target"), r);
executeAction(s2t("animationFrameActivate"), d, DialogModes.NO);

(d1 = new ActionDescriptor()).putDouble(s2t("animationFrameDelay"), 1);
d.putObject(s2t("to"), s2t("animationFrameClass"), d1);
executeAction(s2t("set"), d, DialogModes.NO);

I don't know what code you're talking about. This has nothing to do with code.

 

  1. From Photoshop CC,  click on the last frame in your timeline, click the downward triangle and select your delay rate from the list. 
  2. File > Export > Save for Web (legacy) > animated GIF.

Thank you for your answer! But I try to do the same actions with help Photoshop Script to automate. Probably I am asking in the wrong place about it.
