Re: The Ancient Art of the Animated GIF

I frequently use a minimalistic unfreez (Windows):

Its free. Simply drag your images into, set or unset loop animation and 
frame delays (in cs) and save... Works like a charm :-)

Almost brilliantly, that is.


Quite simply, I'd like to create animated GIF's that use transparency. 
There are a few freebie apps on the Mac that do poor jobs creating 
them. Then there are tools like Fireworks and Adobe ImageReady. These 
apps allow me to create exactly the Animated GIF's I need and that 
render perfectly in a web browser.


But when I import them to Revolution, they run at hyperspeed and show 
strange areas of transparency. Can anyone point me in the direction of 
either a solution for the Fireworks/Adobe ImageReady problem or 
towards a competent GIF creator liked by Revolution (Mac or Windows)?


Thanks!

Mike

Thanks Klaus and Jacque,

Klaus, your trick worked to stop the transparency anomaly but didn't slow 
the GIF down to its programmed speed. Jacque, I'll try it out in Graphic 
Converter. Many thanks!!!

Graphic Converter. Works great and it's inexpensive. The trial is unlimited 
and free if you don't mind sitting through a delayed startup. The UI isn't 
as intuitive as it might be, but the output is compatible with Rev and 
works very well.

Hi Mike,

I know Animated GIF's probably seem a little arcane to many on this  
list however for me they work brilliantly in one of my projects.  
Almost brilliantly, that is.


Quite simply, I'd like to create animated GIF's that use  
transparency. There are a few freebie apps on the Mac that do poor  
jobs creating them. Then there are tools like Fireworks and Adobe  
ImageReady. These apps allow me to create exactly the Animated  
GIF's I need and that render perfectly in a web browser.


But when I import them to Revolution, they run at hyperspeed and  
show strange areas of transparency. Can anyone point me in the  
direction of either a solution for the Fireworks/Adobe ImageReady  
problem or towards a competent GIF creator liked by Revolution (Mac  
or Windows)?


try this:
...
set the constantmask of img "you animated gif here" to true
...

That may help, but maybe not... :-)


Thanks!

Mike
