YES! i managed half decent animation of that large prom :-)

[Pete Presland]

Thank you to @pietervdv  for recommending http://gifmaker.me/ it worked a treat (I think)

This an hour of videos, I had to increase the frame size from the earlier images due to the size of the prom. All the images were with the usual set up Lunt50 (no D/S) DMK21au618, stacked in REG6, sharpened and aligned in IMPPG. Then the GIF created in Gif maker.

Pleased to finally mange a decent animation, not sure whether creating the loop is a good thing or not, might prefer just one play each time I "click" on it. Also maybe a bit slower as well.

Considering the seeing it has come out with some reasonable detail as well.

Lovely animation!

[David Smith]

Nice one Pete

[Bonnylad]

I rather like that. Lots of effort and it's paid off.

[Pete Presland]

This is a sharpened version of the above, I realised as I laid in bed last night I hadn't sharpened the images before creating the GIFF.

Well done Pete.  I love the updated one.

Think I got a bit confused with the excitement of managing an animation for the first time and made a GIFF from the saved un-sharpened files from Reg6. The next time I get a chance to do one I will keep the frame size the same.

[paulastro]

I'd have been excited too Pete if I had managed to produce an animation like that. 

[keramos]

Nicely done. Might have to give the Gif Maker a try.

Excellent...

Wow!! that is amazing!!!

I must look at Giff maker as I have found Photoshop only seems to do one speed.

Hi Alexandra, I have P'Shop CS4 and you can do all sorts of Gif speed permutations down to individual frames.

Don't know about earlier versions

Mmm I have CS5, where are the speeds?

Alexandra

[johnfosteruk]

Cracking Animation Pete, lovely sharp detail.

[Pete Presland]

Thanks for all the comments. Giff-maker doesn't accept TIFF files, but I found it very easy to use with PNG's. The only things I couldn't decide on was the loop or not and the how slow to make it.

Like this, I should think CS5 is the same.

You can load TIFFs and run it before converting to animated GIF

Very nice capture.

[cshahar]

I really like this animation Pete. The wispy details are grand here. It inspires me to try some of my own, especially when the sun is quiet.

Thanks Dave, I see! so if you have a 500 frame animation you have to spend three hours changing them all to the speed you like  I had hoped for a a button that would be like 10fps or 20fps.

No you can alter them all to the same time delay 

Usual way click on the first one, hold down shift and click on the last one, set time delay on one image and click OK

Great job! Alexandra, GIMP allows any speed too, and it's easy to select individual frames for a different speed, eg for a slower first/last frame. Pete, I'll try this gif maker too, it's given a very steady result.
