Animated Gifs Created With GIFtedmotion In Puppy Lucid Linux50 Serve All Web Needs-Big And Small.

Recently I created an animated gif image for the Daily Bible Reader-2012 home page with the unbelievably small [73k only!] but awesome GIFtedmotion.

Since this is really a java jar file, you can use it on any operating system that runs Java. Install JRE and you can create animated gifs easily and quickly. I really loved the pause-play feature [I couldn't find this in some others] that helps us test the animation first before saving it as an animated gif. This is indispensable because we invariably endup having to change the timings, reorder images etc.

Here are the steps to get going:

3.Open an rxvt terminal and type java -jar giftedmotion-1.23.jar to start giftedmotion.
4.Remember to size all images the same if needed.
5.Open your images in proper sequence.
6.Re-arrange images if you have to.
7.Select a value for time in microseconds [1000 micro seconds=1 second] and select the check box to apply it to all frames. Obviously, this will vary depending on your needs.
8.Use the [Play] and [Pause] buttons to test(this is really great, so cool!!!) the
  animation before saving it.
9.Press the [Red circle] button to save the animation to disk.
