312 CHAPTER 11 Creating Animations (ImageReady) You can also import a folder of files and use each file as a frame in ImageReady. Files can be in any format that ImageReady supports. Each file becomes a frame in the Animation palette. The files are placed in the Animation palette in alphabetical order by image filename. The files appear in the Animation palette as frames and in the Layers palette as layers, with each layer assigned to a separate frame. The image that is first alphabetically or numerically by filename is frame 1 in the Animation palette and the bottom layer in the Layers palette. To open a multilayer Photoshop file as frames: 1 Choose File > Open, and select the Photoshop file to open. 2 Select Make Frames From Layers in the Animation palette menu. Each layer in the image appears as a frame in the Animation palette. The bottom layer in the Photoshop image is frame 1 in the Animation palette. To import a folder of files as frames: 1 Place the files to be used as frames into a folder. Make sure that the folder contains only those images that are to be used as frames. The resulting animation will display more successfully if all files are the same pixel dimensions. To have frames appear in the correct order in the animation, name the files in alphabetical or numeric order, with the file to be used as frame 1 the first in order. (You can also change the order of the frames in the Animation palette after you import the files.) 2 Choose File > Import > Import Folder As Frames, and choose the folder to be imported. Opening QuickTime movies as animations You can open movies in MOV, AVI, and FLIC formats to view and edit in ImageReady. To open QuickTime-compatible movies: 1 Choose File > Open, and select the movie to open. 2 Select the range of frames to import: • From Beginning to End to open the full file. • Selected Range Only to open selected frames. Drag the slider below the movie thumbnail to specify the starting point for the range, then Shift-drag to specify the ending point. (A black bar on the slider indicates the range you select.) 3 Select Limit to Every Frame to specify which frames to include from the selected range. (You can use this option with either Range option.) 4 Click Open.
