I have just discovered a quick way to run up an animated GIF from an image
sequence (rather than plonking every frame in place and getting w*****'s
(err . . . wrist) cramp doing it:
Get a copy of GIMP:
http://www.gimp.org/ [Mac,Win,Lin !!!!]
and:
use Quicktime (!!!!) to export a series of images from the movie file
you wish
to convert to an animated GIF,
[parenthetically, you can do this whole thing with MPlayer (any platform):
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html
but you have to muck around in the command line interface (fioch).
then:
Open the first file (preferably a JPEG) of your exported frames with GIMP,
then open all the other frames in your directory as layers - File/Open
as layer.
The save the thing as as a GIF; select SAVE AS ANIMATION, and you can choose
LOOP FOREVER if you want to lose control of the thing.
Click EXPORT:
"Bob's your uncle . . . " well, it has got to be a lot better than BILL
being your uncle . . . :)
Just great for those silent movies of yesteryear.
------------------------------------------------------------
Now the big and burning question is how to line up the animated gif so
it will play
with an AIFF file exported from the same movie file.
