The gif saved in Photoshop freezes mid play. Does not matter where I upload it. You can see it here: http://www.peneroyal.com/tmp/freeze.gif
The freeze does not happen in the Photoshop preview.
The procedure of making that gif is: After Effects -> Rendering sequence of tiffs -> Making the gif in Photoshop (save for web). -> The gif breaks.
Does anyone know why?
It's not freezing mid play. It seems that older versions of Photoshop have a limit of 500 frames for Saved for Web GIF. Which, to be honest, is a lot of frames, since GIFs are not really suitable for video, they are meant for much shorter animations.
You could solve by updating your software, I added 100+ frames to your GIF then exporting with CS6 and it worked fine.
Either you reduce the number of frames to be exported in your animation (for example, instead of 30fps use 15fps) or if that's not enough and you really have to export that many frames, choose a different format according to the purpose.
Photoshop has a limit of 500 frames for importing a video file. The video import merely stops after 500 frames.
If your video is longer than 500 frames, you'll need to import frames 1-500 into one Photoshop document, then import frames 501+ into a different Photoshop document. And then you can simply move the video layers to the same Photoshop file. Photoshop itself doesn't contain a limit to the frame count, it's the video import feature which contains this limitation.
