I hadn't noticed that -- I'm changing it now.  I'm changing the
former to 100ms since the latter only works with 100ms-
granularity.  I may yet reconsider and default both to 200ms.

minor inconsistancy in GIF animation options

2000-08-30 Thread Michael J. Hammel

This is pretty minor.

I just noticed that the Animation Playback specifies a delay of 125 ms for
unspecified frame timings, but the Save As GIF dialog defaults to 100 ms.
Could the latter be changed to 125 ms so the playback will match the saved
file if the defaults are used?

The GIF has to be prepared as an animation. In GIMP, each frame is represented
by a layer, converted to index, and then saved as a GIF; the GIF file plug-in, on 
seeing
a lot of indexed layers, will automatically ask if you want to save the whole assembly
as an animation.

Jimmac (aka Jakub Steiner) has put together a very nice animation tutorial.
See http://jimmac.musichall.cz/tutor.php3

I think, in particular, you would find all you need in his simple animation tutorial,
but using the GAP plugin is an interesting next step.

Be good, be well

animation frames for irix or numbered frames...

anyone here know how to get a gimp animation prepared for irix to dump to
video? i tried the AVI plug in, but the resulting file was mangled.

maybe an export to numbered frams?

In response to this, anyone know what is happening to the gimp16
project, http://film.gimp.org/ ?  I see that there's been some updates,
but not really a whole lot of end-user information.  Is this still
developing in co-operation with MAIN (HOLLYWOOD)?  I see that Gimp16
seems now to be Gegl based, with support for such things as CMYK
colorspaces, but the last archive (0.0.10) is dated Mar 6, 1999.  There
is a notice about SIGGRAPH 2000 July 26th, but anyone have any early
info for those of us not going?

Xmorph can be used as a GIMP plug-in.

http://www.colorado-research.com/~gourlay/software/Graphics/Xmorph/

For bonus points, go and port this great program to a Real Toolkit ;)

animation "tweens"

2000-06-12 Thread Jon Winters

Hi,

I was teaching a friend of mine how to save .gif anims with the GIMP the
other day.  Its easy to do some pretty cool stuff but the lesson left me
wondering about a possible feature.

Would it be possible to add "tweening" simmilar to what Macromedia
fireworks has.

Basicly you have two layers and you can tell gimp to morph from one to
the next in the animation over N amount of frames.  Might also be cool
if we had a menu of transition effects for use in animations.  Fades,
Wipes, etc...

Thanks in advance for your consideration!

All plug-ins (mostly file loaders) who have this information. For example
almost all file-formats naturally know wether they store an animation or
not. xcf doesn't, and for the rest it probably doesn't matter. (it is fine
to leave this undefined).

Most gfx formats now this intrinsically.

> Did I miss something?

Probably not. Let's speculate on how export might behave:

image is anim?  filter handles anim?export does
=
yes yes do nothing
yes no  asks or autoconverts
no  yes asks or autoconverts
no  no  do nothing
unknown any asks

However, I have not proposed on how to decode that an image is _not_ an
animation. Maybe in that case we can set interframe-delay to "N/A".

The only problem I see is when a user loads multiple jpeg files and
concatenates them, but we can still chose to just leave the "animtype"
undefined (so export can skip the dialog box when an animation is saved as
an animation).

(btw it is trivial to write a plug-in that erases or sets animation
status).

Also, this does not need to be implemenbted in export before 1.2. But we
can safely leave this half implemented in a few load-save plug-ins.

I just wanted to standardize on some future extensions to the animation
handling.

Who is supposed to set this parasite? How can Gimp know if your image is an
animation or just a weird multi-layer image?

RFC: new animation parasite

1999-11-24 Thread Marc Lehmann

I do not really like being asked wether a multilayer image should be
flattened before save because it might not be an animation (or vice versa).

Sven, what do you think if we had a parasite as hint, e.g.

"is_animation" (IMAGE, PERSISTENT)
If exists (without content), indicated that the image is a
multilayer image describing an animation.
If it does not exist then the multiple layers describe a single
image (as usual)

This would be a hint that the export facility can skip asking the user wether
he wants to flatten the image.

OTOH, we could combine the hint an some mroe useful parasite (more useful for
the future):

"interframe-delay" (IMAGE|LAYER, PERSISTENT)
Specifies the default delay in seconds between frames of an
animation, as a ratio in the form "n/d" (n and d are integers).
The image parasite gives the default interframe delay, the layer
parasite can override it.

The existance of an image or layer parasite would server as an indicator
that this is an animation. File-plug-ins can/should still create/parse the
layer name, but in the future we might store this information seperately.

What do you think?

(This would not need to touch the core, and the transition can be done
smoothly, i.e. upgrade plug-ins to create the parasites but do not read
them yet).
