I have tried multiple methods of adding the fast action frames, (10 per second), but every way I've tried to add the frames, the keep taking roughly twice as long to run as what the individual times add up to, (the motion runs about half speed.
I have created a short action file just to demonstrate what is happening. This file consists of 360 frames of action, and it illustrates the problem.
The first 160 frames are a simple gif file that runs at normal speed, or 16 seconds for the 160, 1/10th second frames.
Then i selected all the frames, and selected "Duplicate Frame" to create the second set of 160 fames in the file. These duplicated frames appear to me to have the same properties, including they are all 1/10th of a second frames, but when this second, duplicated sequences runs, it takes about 30 seconds to complete.
If you watch the gif file and time it, you'll see the flying saucer crashes in about 16 seconds in the first half of thefile, buit it takes about 30 seconds in the second half of the file.
I have duplicated the frames in this first half of the file to create the second half in the example, but it seems that any method I use to add these action frames to an already open gif file, then these added frames run at half speed, regardless of what the frame properties show for frame duration.
I have also noticred that even reducing the time further in added or duplicated frames does not make them fun faster.
Anyone have any ideas?
Here is an example:

If you download it and look at it in a browser, you'll see the second saucer crash runs at half speed.
If you open it in gif animator, you'll see that the frames in both sequences appear to be the same, (at least to this newbie they do).
Why do the 2 sequences of frames run at different speeds?
It seems when gif animator is not open, and opens a video, a gif file, it can change frames according to the time on each frame, but when gif animator is already open, and adding new frames at the end of an existing sequence (creating new frames as it adds them), these new frames cant run as fast as they "should" according to the duration in the frame properties.
Here's also a posted image of the file, but it's kinda big, so it will run choppy the first time if your connection's not fast enough.
I'm wondering if it might not be the time the frame is displayed, but something about the transition time between frames...but I don't know if there's a setting for that
Thanks in advance
