I have an animated .gif file.
A set of opening and closing eyes that I would like to make into a larger banner type thing with my own text for a webpage.
I tried opening a new image in Imageready in the size I wanted, etc…but when I cut and pasted the animated gif…it just became a static.
Not too familiar with gifs and Imageready…how do I do this? Hope I make sense.
Thanks.

if it’s animated you need to work on all the frames not just one. Do you have the animation palette open??
open it and you should see several frames, each frame is also a layer. for your purposes this time best will be IMAGE>image size don’t expect good results from small internet images to larger images, it may get pixel-y
to save it animated use EXPORT AS and make sure you are in GIF palette not jpeg

Don’t really understand what ya just wrote…but thanks anyhoo Kat for your response, and attempt at helping.
I figured it out in my own round-a-bout weird way.
I opend the animated image which consisited of 4 frames, and made 4 copies of the banner with the text I wanted.
I then cut and pasted each separate frame from the animation to each banner, saved them as jpg’s… and put them together as frames in a new animation in Gif Movie Gear. And it worked!
Prolly da dumbass way of doing it…but it achieved my purpose. A banner with text and the lil animation on the left.
It was for a title banner on my website’s guestbook.
Would be honored if ya signed it.
Thanks again.
