Problems with video signature

I have made a Monty Panesar sig, and I am trying to put a 10 second video of him bowling in it. The file is a .mov file, and I follow the instructions shown by the tutorial on this website. I cut the dealy time between each frame, I reduce the image size. When i move it into Photoshop, i link all the layers, and then move the video onto the background sig. I am unsure if i should make the background sig from a "background" to "Layer 0", and also if i should make each layer visible, or just the first one.
I then attempt to jump to ImageReady to "Save Optimized As", but I get a message saying it is too large to edit in ImageReady, but it will try anyway. I have tried clicking OK, which takes forever, and also have tried saving the file as a normal png file, and then opening it in ImageReady and saving it as optimized.
Nothing seems to work, and the video on the sig remains stationary, on other image-viewing programs and internet browsers.

Any help on how to make the video play when in the sig?

Re: Problems with video signature

This was a common problem with me when I was first trying to do these, too.

What you have to do is transfer the fresh gif into photoshop, then expand the canvas size to whatever signature size you want (Image -> Canvas Size). I tried to just link them all and drag them into a premade signature background, but ImageReady doesn't seem to like that.

So, expand the canvas size to whatever you want it to be, then drag the flattened signature background into the gif background that you just expanded. So the background doesn't cover up your animated gif, either move the background to the bottom layer or cut a hole in it for the gif to show through.

Transfer it back into ImageReady, save optimized as, blah blah and it should be fine.
