: How can you create an animated GIF from a GIF sequence? I just tried to export a GIF from Adobe Media Encoder using the preset GIF sequence: It was a surprise to me that, unlike the GIFs

It's painfully easy in Windows so just be happy you are using Windows with Creative Cloud and don't let anyone make fun of you for it.

You can export it with Premier Pro.

There is an export option to use it as an animated gif. This only applies to Windows, which I see you are using.

Here is an animated gif explaining what you need to do.

There's also some way to do it with Mac in that article somewhere but it's not nearly as easy and requires 3rd party software which depending where you work might not be allowed to be installed.

You can just open the .gif as any other image file in Photoshop by going to Open>All Formats (.)>Select your .gif file.

What you are trying to do isn't meant to be used for .gifs. The video frame to layers function in PS is used to take video, hence the video in the name, and split it up into individual layers.

Only then can you use the generated layers to make a .gif. This also only works with .mp4 the video file format.
