Question

Equalized frame delay on imported GIF's

Hi there,

I'm having a strange problem when importing gifs into Adobe Premiere. The gifs themselves display correctly in Browsers and in image viewer. But when I import them into an Adobe Premiere sequence, the total duration of the gif remains the same, but each individual frame becomes the same length, despite having different frame delays when I exported them from Photoshop. It's as if all of the frame delay data is ignored, so all of the frames are made equal for the GIF's duration.

I'm pretty sure this is an issue with Premiere since the GIF's seem fine everywhere else. Does anyone have the solution for this? I'm not sure what I'm missing.

Thanks in advance.

Try dragging & dropping the animated gif into Photoshop. That will likely show all the frames. Edit the frames you want and export it out as an animated gif again (from Photoshop).

Tried it, but no dice. The same problem happened again.

I'm pretty sure what is happening is that PrPro is seeing those gifs as still-images, which don't have a 'duration' other than that set by the Preferences option for base time for still images placed on a sequence.

Okay, I can understand that. Do you know of any way to make Premiere recognise the files as animated gifs so that they'll play at their original rate?

No. Someone else might, I've just never worked with that.
