I’ve got an ImageReady CS question, is there anyway to join a series of animated gifs together into one? I’ve got several separate little animations I made. They’re of the same object and all have the same dimensions, but now I need them to show in order within one gif, is there any easy way to do this, So far all I can think of is exporting the frames of each as files and then binging them back into one gif, but then I would have to redo the timing for each, anybody know of an easier way? Thanks.

MAYBE…….you could open the gifs in IR, select the frames of one (click first frame, hold down shift, click last frame) and drag it onto the other animation.

Thanks for the suggestion. The drag and drop idea really seems like it should work, but I can’t get it to, it wont let me frag the animation frames from from the animation window directly onto another image, and I can’t figure out how to have more then one animation window open at a time (to drag across to) there’s just the single window the switcheces depending on wich image is selected.

O.K., how about this:

Open the original layered PSD’s (assuming you still have them)in PS, and consolidate all of the layers into one image file. Then open IR and select "make animation from layers".

I think this may be what you mentioned in your original post, as trying to avoid, since you may have to reset the timing for each frame. It’s really not that hard to reset the timing though, right?
