Keeping Animated gif"s after changes

You can’t simply save changes to animations. Here’s a few basics items.

Always make sure to choose:

1. Save for Web
2. GIF
3. Check "Animate" and "Tranpancy (if applicable).
4. Set the animation settings near the bottom of the screen

This is done every time any changes are made. Straight saves will compress the layers instead of treating them as frames.

I have downloaded some animated gifs and I would like to manipulate them

but

when I make changes and save them, the animation ceases. I have a buddy

icon

that has writting in the backround that I wanted to erase. I don’t want

to

change the animation or the object being animated just eliminate the writing. I am very new to elements so don’t know how to do this. any

step

by

step information is best.

thanks in advance.

BTW, to remove any information you’ll have to click on each layer that includes it. You can do this by selecting each layer from the "Layers Pallette," then edit as needed. When finished, refer to my previous response for saving the animation.
