Animated GIFs

You can bring animated GIF files into Fireworks in two ways:

• You can import an animated GIF as an animation symbol. You can edit and move all the elements of the animation as a single unit and use the Library panel to create new instances of the symbol.

  NOTE

  When you import an animated GIF, the frame delay setting defaults to 0.07 seconds. If necessary, use the Frames panel to restore the original timing.

• You can open an animated GIF as you would open a normal GIF file. Each element of the GIF is placed as a separate image in its own Fireworks frame. You can convert the graphic to an animation symbol in Fireworks.
