I think size may be the root of the problem. There are 28 frames,
400 x 400 pixels, 128 colours, 88% dither no interlace or
transparency. 2.5 secs per frame. It is 1.3MB.

Hi Severin,
2009/11/2 Severin Crisp <[email protected]>:
I use animated GIFs of a series of images, generated from within
Photoshop,
as a very convenient way of placing them on a webpage. However
there is a
considerable delay in them playing,
GIF allows a deliberate delay, useful if the frames contains text.
Photoshop allows you to adjust the delay for each frame. In the
Animation pallette, it's pretty obvious how to change the delay (but
the exact method depends on whether you are using Frame mode or
Timeline mode). If this isn't the problem, you might like to disable
interlacing. If it is still taking a long time, you might want to
reduce the canvas size, or re-evaluate the need for animation. If
animation is still necessary, Flash is the most common alternative for
fast loading web animations (but you can't do it within Photoshop).
