I used Pivot Stick Animator to make a stick animation. When I play it on the Pivot program, the animation goes at my desired speed. But when I save the animation file as a GIF and play it on InfranView, the animation becomes slower than Pivot.

How do I change the speed of the animation to my desired speed?

Isn’t there an FPS option that you can change before saving it as a GIF ?

Been ages since I used that, but the speed on this one is fine:

I need to detect the end of a non-looping .Gif animation and act on it. In other words, when the animation reaches its last frame, I want it to trigger a function in JavaScript. Is there any way to do this?

I think the previous poster is right that there is no way to access the individual frames in an animated GIF image. Maybe as a workaround, if you know how long the animation runs for, you can setup a javascript timer to fire after that number of seconds.

I am looking for a avi to gif converter. all the ones o installed need money tp register to take off the watermark. does anyone know if there is a converter with no registrations? also, great quality is always a plus.

Thanks!

AVI to GIF SWF Converter is a software tool to convert any AVI files to GIF and SWF files. It can convert the video to GIF and SWF (and include audio or not for SWF). http://www.globalshareware.com/Multimedia-Design/Animation/AVI-to-GIF-SWF-Converter.html

I made a gif for my avatar but it won’t let me upload it cause it’s bigger that 15 KB. Is there any websites where I could reduce it without downloading any programs?

GIFs sizes are given that amount of data because theres that many frames and the size of it. It also matters on the quality. Try opening it up on photoshop or gimp or something and deleting some frames off the image to reduce the size.

I need a site/program to create a GIF image that can use 15 single frames, all the sites I have found can use up to 10 images, and I used the "Active GIF Creator 2.23" but the animation was not of good quality.

Any suggestions?

I have a good application for that its called Microsoft GIF Animator its pretty basic but it can give good results, i can send it to you because it is not available anymore from the MS site, all you have to do is connect with me using Yahoo Messenger and tell me that you are the guy from yahoo answers that needs an application for GIF

I seen this really cool gif picture and tried to copie it. But it just copied 1 frame of it. How do get it?

Don’t worry, you probably copied it all right, if you see the first frame. The thing here is, that not every software capable of viewing a GIF image is also able to show animations. This is often the case with file managers, which will instead only display the first frame. Just try to open the saved file in a webbrowser again.

I know how to create a semi transparent .gif and save for web, but it always looks grainy and pixelated, does anyone know how to create a a soft semi transparent image? I tried changing the colour mode to 16 bit but this made no difference. any ideas?

Not gonna happen. Just make a jpeg and use the opacity CSS properties to see "transparency.

In the move Pirates of the Caribbean 2, there’s a scene on a beach where Elizabeth, played by Keira Knightley, throws a hissy fit. Several times I’ve come across an animated gif from that scene, but now I can’t find it anywhere. Anyone have it, or know where I can find it? Thanks!

it is reprint from POTC graphic novel

Every time I try to make a transparent gif animation every previous frame shows. I want to make a picture dissappear and then a different one (with the transparency in a different place) appear, but all the previous frames would be showing. How would I go about making an animation as such in gimp?

you can add transparency to layer with alpha channel, this allows you to erase and see through layer, then when you have set of layers, preview with filter>animation>playback

then you have to set with filter> animation> optimize difference /gif ~[creates new file]

then you have to type with name A(100ms) (replace) in each frame you want to replaced instead of combining or adding,

or when saving, use drop down menu for disposal >"I dont care" to "replace "

I don’t care if it’s good or not. I just need it to take in my avi file, and without resizing it, adding to it, or changing the colors of it, turn it into an animated gif file.

Puh, thats something I would really not suggest doing. GIF is limited to 256 colors per frame, which will likely make your AVI look horrible after converting. Also you should know, that GIF encodes each frame individually, while AVI formats generally only store differences between frames. Converting from AVI to to GIF will make the resulting file quite huge.

If you still want to do it, I’d suggest using a tool that can dump the single frames of the movie as individual JPG files and then feed those to a GIF animator. You can use mplayer for dumping and GiftedMotion for encoding (make sure, that the amount of JPG files and sizes stays reasonably small, otherwise encoding will take forever). The command to dump:

mplayer movie.avi -vo jpeg -frames 100

GiftedMotion is a GUI tool, no commandline invocation needed
