Earlier this week, I needed to make an animated gif. Needed. If you have ImageReady, it is pretty easy to do. But what do you do if you don’t have ImageReady?
Well I’m here for you and Future Raishad
First things
- Get a Mac. (This is for the next step)
- Install MacPorts
- Install gifsicle (Really, you don’t need a Mac for gifsicle. But since you already got one, let’s continue and you can thank me later.)
- Gather your source images. It will be helpful to name them sequentially
- Use gifsicle to create your animated gif
gifsicle image*.gif > animated.gif - Adjust the looping
gifsicle -l animated.gif > looping.gif - Adjust the delay
gifsicle -d 30 looping.gif > finished.gif
After all that hard work, you’ll have something as brilliant as this
