Hello all, I made an transparent animated gif on my image ready 3.0 and the finished Gif shows trails. I then re made it on my Photoshop cs3 from the original psd and I have the same problem. The psd looks great when running the animation within both programs but the saved gif have trails of the previous layer. I checked to be sure that only one layer is selected per each frame so it is not that. I have tried saving it adaptive and custom and still the trails appear. Can anyone help me? Ty very much

Show us a link. What do you mean by "trails"? Are you tweening?

Do you see them if you click on individual frames in the Animation palette?

No i am not tweening and i do not see them by clicking on individual frames or by running the animation. It is happing in the save i can only guess.

How did you make the frames? I always do Make Frames from Layers, though sometimes I edit the frames afterward.

It almost looks to me like you made frames but left layers underneath visible as you made them. If you make or edit a frame individually, anything that is visible will be in that frame.

Sorry, aside from that I don’t know. Does it do this with ALL animations?

yes i did use layers. and nothing is visable in the frames untill final save.I would love to edit out the trail but it is not in the frame or layer. it only happens when i save it. and this is the first time i have ever had any problem making animation at all. I did check to see if more then one layer was visable in each frame and it is not. That is what i thought it was as well

Did you try making it over again? Maybe with a different name or a minor change? put the top layer at the bottom or something like that.

Seems very odd.

The trail effect is on each frame.

I imagine it was like that when you imported the image sequence/video, or when you imported the video there was some kind of corruption.

What 3D app did you make it in? Did you check the images/video before you imported them?

Check (or search for) "Disposal method."

stevent,

The frames that you see when you open that file are not necessarily the ones that were used in the creation of the gif. I find it hard to believe the OP could have missed them if they were there (says he checked).
