How do I create a 2-frame animated gif/png/mpo

Post by macintoshevents »

I hate to bother you but I am absolutely at a loss trying to figure this out…I want to make one animated gif or png or anything that goes very slowly from one image to another. This will be placed on a website.I have 2 images. They are made in Illustrator and can be saved for web as anything. I saved them as GIFs. (Also as PNG.)  They are each 250x36pxI found Window->GIF Animation. I can open either image into that window.  But I cannot figure out how to put both images into it to set an image change.  There isn’t a + button.I tried copy and pasting into a 2nd layer in the Layers palette. If I open their folder in your Browser, then I can’t select the Animation Palette. The Convert and Modify options don’t include this. Can you please direct me? DebPS: Who would have thought that I would be wanting to create an animate gif in this millennium?!

I am interested in this same subject but am not able to find any instructional materials. Debweb refers to a video. Where might I find these things?
