How are animated gifs made?

[Steve83]

I'm seeing it in ~6 sec using IE6.0.2900...

thanx, still 6 with my IE 6.0.2800

i don't get why different browsers do this. yet my current avatar plays the same in either
i do see a setting frame properties>removal method>web browser decides. don't know what this is exactly yet.

btw, anyone know how to apply frame delay to all frames at the same time?

Select all the frames in the bottom panel.Right click on any one.Frame properties.Set delay.But ofcourse all the frames will have the same delay.

ty. i'll try again, but i'm sure i've done that 100 times and it only changes the one frame i right-clicked.

still no go, how do you "select all frames" i can never get all frames highlighted. this don't work either

Select ALL the objects in the Object Manager Pane

another thing that would be nice is if you could mass delete frames instead of one at a time. only have ten days left and it's nice software, but too expensive for me. especially around the holidays. thanx for the help

I don't know why it is not working for u.Here is a shot of my UGIFA window:
I just clicked the first frame and Shift-clicked the last.

making progress, if i hold shift i can click and highlight other frames, but not highlight all at once. must be due to the trial.

2 good tools for the job are photoshop and ulead gif animator (both have trials, though the latter is easier to use)

its not difficult if you have all the frames you need

I use photoshop and ulead gif animator as well.

Once you get a handle on the programs it really isnt that hard but very time consumming and it may take a while to get a handle on how the rograms work.

I still havent mastered the art of gif animating. Ulead gif animator is a fun program to work with. As mentioned its not free but its worth the money.

I have never tried the free version, so I am not sure if there are restrictions as to what you can or cant do. But I do know that most free trial version do have some restrictions as to what it will allow you to be able to do. That is their way of getting you to buy it sooner.

Also dont expect to be able to make the animated gif's you want right off the bat these programs take a bit of practice and some trial and error.

But sometimes you may not get it to what you want you just may get it to something you like better. I have had that happen a few times.
There are aslo some plugins for ulead that will give you more options.

yeah i'm enjoying the software. i'm not using any photo editor though yet, just some video editing tools.

@paglamon

i can highlight all frames with your method now . my pc restarted on me. (power cut-out for a brief moment). it works for some reason now. seems to me there are no restrictions on this trial.

Wonderful!!!BTW,are you sure you were hitting that "Shift" key correctly?Too many cigars may cause jittery fingers

[LT. Columbo]
