MohnJadden Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I'm trying to create an image that has an existing animated gif file. If I drag in the gif and create it as a layer, it doesn't retain the animation. I did drop the Animated Image plugin dll to the FileTypes folder, but if I go to save the file, it doesn't have the .agif option. is there a way to retain the animation of the gif and then save it as an animated gif?

Pixey Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Hello @MohnJadden and Welcome to PDN Yes, you can open an animated Gif into PDN. First, you must right click on the Gif and choose 'Save As' then add this code .agif - to the end of the Gif's file name. Also, change the' Save As Type' to 'All Files.' i.e. it will look something like this: animated-cat-image-0079.gif.agif Open PDN and search for your renamed file - Go to Open and upload the Gif. It should then open up all of the Gif into layers. FYI - here is a tutorial on how to use Midora's Animated Gif Maker. 1 1 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

tome10 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) I'm trying to open up a gif with the layers exposed, but I don't seem to have Save As in the R-Click Menu. Ideas? I figured it out. You simply copy and paste the file (to retain the original), and edit the name and replace .gif with .agif. I want to say i've done this before, and just had a brain freeze.
