  • Many assume the way to pronounce GIF is with a hard G sound because G is for Graphic. The inventor of the file format requested it be pronounced with a soft G so the it sounds like the peanut butter (Jif). Please don’t correct me on my pronunciation as I will simply remove your comment.

    In just five minutes you can easily make an animated GIF in Adobe Photoshop.
    You can then share by attaching the GIF to emails, post to websites or social media sites such as Tumblr You can even copy the Image URL and paste to your status in Facebook.

    The creators of the format pronounced the word as "jif" with a soft "G" /dʒɪf/ as in "gym". Steve Wilhite says that the intended pronunciation deliberately echoes the American peanut butter brand Jif, and CompuServe employees would often say "Choosy developers choose GIF", spoofing this brand's television commercials.

    Just to add a piece of helpful advice!! When I first tried this I couldn't figure out how to get the timeline display, and it wasn't mentioned in this video but all you have to do is go to Window (in the top toolbar near View and Help) --> Workspace --> Motion. Then the timeline bar should appear at the bottom

      The guy who made this video & or who is narrating it, is saying the letter G improperly. Obviously. He doesn't know you pronounce the letter G as in Glad or the word "Gift" without the letter T at the end of the word. He doesn't know & or realize it's not pronounced like the letter J. I know, I know.... Potato, Potoddo, .... Tomato, Tomotto.

    Thank you so much. I used to make gifs all the time during tumblr's popularity and forgot everything. I've also seen gifs that have a static frame background and the gif is inside that static frame, so essentially it's a graphic inside a graphic - if that makes sense? I wouldn't imagine it's any different, but that's what I'm trying to do for one of my clients.

    Hi, worked great, but may I point out one aspect you did not cover? How to invert the layer stack in case your GIF runs backwards like mine did.
    Deselect all layers in your layer stack, click the Eye icon, and then drag them to the top of the stack, with each subsequent layer being dragged under the one you just placed, and so on and so forth through the stack until you have them all reversed. You should then be able to click on the top layer, hit the 'Create Frame Animation' button to load your first frame, and then the fly out menu> Make Frames from Layer and so forth. They should play in the correct sequence, thus.
