Urza9814 Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Looking for a good Gif animator for Linux. It seems like you can do it in Gimp, but whenever I try to save it it only saves one frame. I had to set this thing up about 8 times, and every time I saved I'd lose it all! I even tried saving as an MPEG, both 1 and 2, but even that didn't work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Seeing the gimp is the only animal I know for this job... let's try my easy intro to ani-GIF: Save a copy of my avatar and open with gimp You will notice this GIF file has two layers (if you don't have this window open, it is under Dialogs/Layers) The key is to double click on each layer's name and add in the time to display each layer. My two layers are named "Background" and "Frame 2" which I added (700ms) for the timing element of the animation Another thing to remember is to convert to indexed color. Do this by selecting "indexed color" under Image/Mode drop menu. Do a File/ Save As and choose the GIF extension. In the pop-up window, select "Save as Animation" and click the "Export" button. Click "OK" and you should have an animated GIF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
