gifsicle<\/a> is a commandline tool for animating gifs. I’ve blogged<\/a> about it before, and created a simple gui for it<\/a> to grab animated gifs from a movie. I checked the site for updates today and noticed that there is now a Mac OS X homebrew package.<\/p>\n

For folk like myself who do not spend much time on the commandline this is a simpler way to install (as compared to downloading the source and compiling). You do need to install homebrew<\/a>\u00a0but you do that by copying a line of code from the\u00a0homebrew<\/a>\u00a0site and pasting it into the terminal. Wait a while as a lot of text scrolls by and it is done.<\/p>\n

you can then install gifsicle by typing:<\/p>\n

brew install \u00a0gifsicle<\/em> and pressing return.<\/p>\n

You are then ready to convert a bunch of gif files into an animated gif.<\/p>\n

A couple of examples:<\/p>\n

Using a set of gifs created from these photos<\/a>\u00a0(and a few more), first set converted to B & W in FireWorks:<\/p>\n

gifsicle –resize-width 500 –delay=60 –loop *.gif > eagle.gif<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Using a set of coloured gifs exportedfrom the jpegs:<\/p>\n

gifsicle –resize-width 500 –delay=60 –loop –colors 256 *.gif > eagle256.gif<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you are a ds106er who likes playing with animating gifs, gifsicle is a very useful addition to your toolkit.<\/p>\n
