So how would I go about creating an animated gif? I've heard that Gimp is an option (messed with that some with some success). But I'm not quite sure what to do still. Is there a free program out there that would work? Preferably with a graphical interface unlike gifsicle. Or is there a good tutorial that someone could point me to? I've already read through a few, and they weren't extremely helpful. Anyway, thanks all! :)
Create animated gif?

I believe in GIMP, you just put each frame as a separate layer, and then save as a GIF file, and it should know that it is an animated GIF.
If it's only 10 frames, check out http://www.gickr.com/upload_files
+1 for the Gimp suggestion, I've used and it's confusing at first but not too tricky to work out!!
(I think those comments hold true for Gimp in general - the hard bit is familiarising yourself with it - once my girlfriend took a look and explained how things worked in photoshop to me, it was easy and now i use it all the time!!)
something about putting the time in milliseconds in the layer name. google might help more than me
Someone make an EasyGifAnimator for linux, PLEEEEEEEEASE!!!
liloo said: I use it too and want to say that this prog is very effective for me:popcorn:Am I missing something? I'm looking at the Video Avatar 'requirements' page, and I see nothing about Linux there. Are you running it with wine, or what?
i used a tool a while back that was built into gimp which allowed you to dump frames from a video clip. i remember that i had to install it from source and that it was in the last year or so but i just cant remember what it was or where to find it again. I really liked that plugin/gimp add on. does any one know what its called?
