May help to save it for web & devices (from the file menu). In the save screen you’ll also have the option to preview the gif to make sure it’s animated.

After doing the above, with no changes made, when I save as a .gif, it is no longer animated. How would I accomplish the goal?

Thank you. I used oliverpecha’s suggestion to change the window/workspace/video interface to “video-editing” so I could edit frame-by-frame. To save my edited file I clicked Save for Web & Devices, made sure the settings were correct (save as GIF, check lower right corner to make sure it was looping since I needed that) and clicked OK. Worked great!

thanks, works perfect in cs4 on pc. I used “Open as…” … “Quicktime Movie” and workspace for video (Window/Workspace/Video)

yeah… none of this works. I have CS3 on a mac and there is no “Quicktime Movie” format. I tried “open” & “Open as” I had it set to “all documents” & “all readable documents”. I tried renaming the.gif extension as .mov. I tried Import -> video frames to layers, it doesn’t open .gifs. I tried Import -> video frames to layers, after renaming the .gif as a .mov this actually opened it but it is still one flat image – no layers or frames. What’s up with crappy CS3?
