GIF Animation gone crazy

Post by peter.s » Thu Jul 31, 2008 3:09 pm

Hi there,

I have a small animation I want playing on my stack. From reading the Help resources I decided a GIF animation would be better than a Quicktime .mov.

I've discovered that I can't use the QT player field for a GIF animation, but must use the Image field instead. But when I put my animation into the field it goes crazy.

The colours break up and I can't select any other tools until I delete the field.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thanks.

Never mind... I fixed it by re-saving the GIF at a different colour scale.
