Re: Animate images in correct order

Why can you not rename the files or convert them into new files with proper alphabetic order. Lots of different sequences in lots of different folders. I've asked this same question elsewhere and the (sometimes harsh) answers focus on renaming. I appreciate that this is an option but I want to know...

Animate images in correct order

I'm using Imagemagick on Ubuntu Linux and I'm attempting to convert sequentially named files into a gif animation. Usually this is an easy operation and only requires that I run something like convert input-*.png output.gif . However, the filenames don't have leading zeros and so the animation order...

Re: gifs not looping when viewed in gmerlin

convert images*.png -loop 0 newgif.gif Does it make any difference if you add a specific delay. Some viewer cannot handle an animation with zero or less than some minimum delay. Your GIF animation shows a 100 delay. But the IM animation has no delay set. You can see that from the verbose informatio...

Re: gifs not looping when viewed in gmerlin

Is there an attribute in the gif made by GIMP that is not being set when made in imagemagick? Are you saying that you can create an animation in GIMP that loops multiple time in Pure Data? If so, then I suspect that GIMP is doing something special. The IM developers would have to look further into ...

Yes, they do. Time to hit the Pure Data bug reporter, then!

It still only plays once in Pure Data even if I use the -loop 0 option.

gifs not looping when viewed in gmerlin

I'm trying to diagnose a problem with another program that may be caused by a defect in imagemagick. I'm running pd extended 0.43.4 on Ubuntu 13.10. I've install gmerlin in order to play animated gifs within that program. If I play gifs made in imagemagick they only play once and don't loop. If I pl...

Create random geometric shapes

Is it possible to use ImageMagick (on Linux) to create random geometric shapes, like the ones below?

Image

Ideally I'd want to be able to run a script and each time it create an image with a different shape in it. Can this be done?

Re: How to remove every second frame from an animated gif?

As far as I know, IM has no special command to skip frames. You would most likely have to write a script loop to select the list of all the png images you wanted and then use the list as input for convert to make the gif animation. However, I am surprised to hear that ffmpeg won't do that, simply b...

How to remove every second frame from an animated gif?

I have a video (avi) that I want to convert to an animated gif. ffmpeg/avconv does a bad job of doing it directly, so I instead convert it to a gif by first outputting each frame as a png and then converting back to gif using iamgemagick. The problem is that this results in a large gif in terms of f...

Re: How do I set the transparent-color of a transparent gif?

How do you know that Flicker needs a white background. If the above two methods do not work, then making it again with white is not likely to help. What version of IM and what platform? Perhaps you need to upgrade IM.[/quote] From what I can tell Flickr sets the background of any image, transparent ...

Re: How do I set the transparent-color of a transparent gif?

That didn't work either :-(

I may just have to rerender them with a white background instead. It's a shame that Flickr's being so awkward!

Re: How do I set the transparent-color of a transparent gif?

I changed the command so that it set the background to white

Code: Select all

convert tANtN.gif -background white -alpha background tANtN_new.gif
However, when I upload to flickr I now get a completely black image instead of a green background
