Specifying delay for frames


    You can specify a delay--the time that a frame is displayed--for single frames or for multiple frames in an animation. Delay time is displayed in seconds. Fractions of a second are displayed as decimal values. For example, one-quarter second is specified as .25.

To specify a delay time:

  1. Select one or more frames.
  2. In the Animation palette, click on the Delay value below the selected frame to view the Delay pop-up menu.
  3. Specify the delay:
    • Choose a value from the pop-up menu. (The last value used appears at the bottom of the menu.)
    • Choose Other, enter a value in the Set Frame Delay dialog box, and click OK.

    If you selected multiple frames, specifying a delay value for one frame applies the value to all frames.

    Note: Delay time may not be accurate during an animation preview in ImageReady. For an accurate preview of delay time, preview animations in a browser.
