ok I did everything you said step by step yet it is not saving as a animation.

@Trish312 Great idea on the animated vines. I'll have to find some good vine images. I'm trying to figure out why it won't work for you. I tried it over and over and it seems to work for me every way I try it. In short, I cannot duplicate your issue.

@c130bulldawg You have a Mac right? I have a Dell XPS 17 with windows 7. I am going to try re-installing my PSE 9 and see if that helps. But I still can't figure out why it wont save correctly. ,................bumming....

@Trish312 Wow!

You are persistent. I'm sorry I was unable to help you through it as I was at work. The unlocking layer, you figured out. It is just double-clicking on the lock on the layer and selecting OK when the Layer 0 dialog box appears. I should have also figured out that you weren't looking at the gif in IE or Firefox.

Unfortunately, gifs are not readable by video editing programs. What program will you be using for video?

Is this PSE 9 ? Because I'm not seeing some of the things you are showing.

[c130bulldawg]

@Trish312 Right now, I'm using PSE 10 but the animated gif has been there for the past few versions.

@c130bulldawg Yes I am persistent. lol ...... I use 2 different ones. PowerDirector and Pennacle 12.
