so I've created an animated GIF using line drawing on a black background, and whenever I try to Save as/Export as/Save for web legacy, the animation does not appear, just the black background. Any idea why that's happening?This is what it looks like when I'm trying to save. just a blank background

this is what its supposed to look like

  • Are all the frames black? What happens if you press play?

Maybe it is just because you have a large document and the zoom level is 100%.

You are only seeing the upper left corner of the image.

Double click the hand tool to fit to view.

  • Are you sure? Where do you preview it? Maybe there is the same problem there. Btw, your gif is 3508 x 2480px which is way bigger than normal. You should scale it so it is more fit for wherever you are going to display it.
