Let’s use a big canvas and place the same image onto it at different places: We need to specify a canvas on which to lay out our animation and its constituent images. This can cause havoc if you use them within Web pages. The animations we have creating so far adjust their size depending upon the size of the constituent images. This results in an animation, playme.gif, made up of three images looping infinitely. avi if you want these to play on a media player.Ĭonvert -delay 30 frame1.gif frame2.gif frame3.gif gif if you want to use your animation on a Web site, or use. To save an animation we use the convert command, supplying a filename with an appropriate extension. It’s left to the -loop switch to determine the number of times an animation is to cycle through the frames:Īnimate -delay 300 frame1.gif frame2.gif frame3.gif -loop 3
But this command runs the animation just once. This sequence of images will spend two seconds on each image. It sets the time pause between images in units of 100th of a second:Īnimate -delay 200 frame1.gif frame2.gif frame3.gif If you need to pause on an image before moving to the next one, use the -delay switch. This animation will quickly blur through all the three GIF files. Since animate does not save animations, its use is limited to testing. IM displays the images in the order they are listed. You can do this easily using the animate command: Once you have these ready, all you need to do is to put them together into an animation.Ī basic animation could just run through several images. You can get the images from your digital camera or your scanner or draw them using ImageMagick or the GIMP. Next, you need a set of images to run through in individual frames.
There are three basic steps to making an animation.
#IMAGEMAGIC MOVING GIF PROFESSIONAL#
While animation in the movies still requires professional animation packages like Blender, you can make simple animations using the command-line wizardry of ImageMagick. If the success of the “Shrek,” “Toy Story,” “Stuart Little,” “The Incredibles,” and many other Hollywood hits is any indication, animations add glitz to the mundane.
