I created the gif and it worked great on my computer and in the test mode. But when I try to upload it to the DS FB page, it comes in just as a photo. I tried uploading it as a video but it wouldn’t accept the gif to upload. So, I’m stuck. How do I get it to upload?
The tutorial, by the way, is great. I even managed to make it work in CS5! Thanks, Jen!
Can’t wait to see it Chris.
This should help.
