Could you confirm if this is a bug or not?
I am trying to cut out a piece of text from an animated gif. In IM6 this was giving a different result then in IM7
Input image:
![Image](http://www.onlinebadgemaker.com/temp/animated_transparent.gif)
Command (In IM7 i put 'magick' before the convert).
Code: Select all
convert animated_transparent.gif -coalesce -alpha set -respect-parentheses \( -background none -fill red -font Arial-Bold -pointsize 100 label:"Birdy" -virtual-pixel background -bordercolor none -border 40% -write mpr:text -delete 0--1 \) -gravity NorthWest -draw "image DstIn 0,0 0,0 'mpr:text[0]'" -background none -write mpr:stroke -background "#00bfff" -shadow 100x6+0+0 null: \( mpr:stroke \) -layers composite -trim +repage out.gif
![Image](http://www.onlinebadgemaker.com/temp/IM6.gif)
Result in IM7.0.8-66

There are 2 problems with IM7
1) It does not clear the background image, while this should be the case according to the documentation:
2) It does not handle the animated frames properly so the end image is moving left-right.These 'clearing' methods are: 'Src', 'In', 'Dst_In', 'Out', 'Dst_ATop', and 'Clear'.
The wrong output was created on Ubuntu 18.04
