I do most of my animating in photoshop (pixel art) and wanted to know if I could import one whole gif file with all of the frames, rather than making a new image for every frame. Am I able to do this?
Umm try it & see? I don't recommend using gifs though as they are often inferior to most other image formats & I'm not so sure whether they will scale up / down so well to players desktop resolutions.
Why do you animate in photoshop? Wouldn't it be more beneficial to use something like Spriter? In any case I believe you could probably create some action to automatically export all the frames in the animation - although there might already be an option for that in photoshop already?
Gif is most shitty, lowest compression, lowest quality animation you can get. And that it's all of the internet ? That's just because it has been there since the 90s.
@Simon: There are exceptions. Here you can see the best animated gifs in the world (it's palette cycling only, not realy animated pictures): http://www.effectgames.com/demos/canvascycle/
Yeah, know that page, but it's not a gif Click show options, you see the palette there, the colors are cycled, so it's a static image and the colors are cycled.
