GIF Anmtr 5: How do I increase GIF frame rate/GIF speed?

[Dann]

Without deleting frames (which would cause my animation to be too choppy), how do I adjust the frame rate of the output GIF. (The source was an AVI, input into the Animator at 50 fps. I have set the frame delay to 0 for the output, used the optimization, etc.

Understanding that this may be a browser issue, I still would like to know if there's a way to crank up the frame rate for the output GIF.

Thanks for your help, all...

You can speed it up or slow it down by changing the duration of each frame. Frames can have different durations also. Not sure if you can change the duration of every frame globally, after you have created the animation. You'll have to work that out for yourself.

Dann, if you want to change one frame just right mouse click on the frame displayed in the FRAME PANEL BAR at the bottom of your screen. If the frame panel isn't showing drop down the VIEW menu and check the box. If you want to do all your frames left click on first frame inFRAME PANEL BAR and the shift-left click last frame. If you only want to do certain frames ctrl-left click those you want to change. After you highlighted the frames right click on a highlighted frame choose FRAME PROPERTIES and increase or decrease the delay time. Those frames that are highlighted will change.

I suspect that the problem is that your GIF has a huge file size and it's choking your browser... 50 frames per second, and I imagine you have lots of frames in that animation. It's going to look choppy... The GIF format is not the best for a large animation with many frames, especially with a fast frame rate like 0 or 1.

Gray,

I joined this forum 2 minutes ago to find this exact info - thanks

I use Irfanview to view sample animations (and not IE or Firefox). In the astronomy / space arena animated .gif's are the most common animation format around. I can load a 30MB animated gif in Irfanview (or IE) and it views at 10fps or faster (and I agree that Firefox is faster than IE on these) but these animations seem fast enough on any of these platforms.

However with Ulead (unregistered version - trying to decide if I want to buy it) I can't seem to get more than about 10 fps even though the original avi (appx 8MB) plays at the expected 30fps in Irfanview. It's an unacceptable fps in Firefox (~ 10 to 15) and worse in IE (~1 to 2). NASA's Rover and Jupiter gif animations run at >10fps for even 30MB files in IE.

I have tried the suggestions listed above - selecting all frames and setting the frame property to 3/200 delay - or even 1 or 0/100. No visible changes.

So unless I'm missing something else, this is a ULEAD problem and not a gif or browser problem.

It's not a Ulead problem. I've answered this question here before. A few times...
