When you click on this arrow,a drop-down menu appears with two choices:”Create Video Timeline” and “Create Frame Animation”.Ģ. When the timeline palette opens, you will see an arrow in the center of the palette. For anyone else who is having this problem, here’s what worked for me:ġ. Quite by accident, I found a way to solve this issue, and once I did, your instructions work fine. The problem is that when you first open the Timeline palette, the drop-down menu in the upper right hand corner of the palette does not have an option to “Make Frames From Layers”. However, I couldn’t get it to work as you describe using Photoshop Extended CS6 on a Mac. If you want to add a transition effect to fade one frame into the following frame, please see my other post, Fade In & Fade Out an Animated. But, with CS5, CS6, or Creative Cloud (CC) it is easy to make separate layers from a folder of the individual frames as described. In fact, as long as each frame exists as a separate layer in Photoshop, the Animation/Timeline palette can be used to create the GIF.

You will now have an animated GIF taken from a folder full of the individual frames.

Now we will change the duration of each frame.This will take each layer in your document and set it as an individual frame in the animation. You can also click Reverse Frames if needed. In the Animation/Timeline palette menu (found under this button at the top right corner of the palette: ), click Make Frames From Layers.In the middle of the palette, you will see a button with a drop-down allowing you to choose either “Create Video Timeline” or “Create Frame Animation.” You want to choose & then click the Create Frame Animation button. For Photoshop CC (Creative Cloud): Open the Timeline palette ( Window > Timeline ).


Let’s say you have a folder full of images that you want to sequence together as frames in an animated GIF.
