gif speed is very fast

Post by xenas »

Hi all, I am a Linux user in which I have used the "convert" command to get a list of images from a .mov file and converting those images into a .gif.

While the process works, whenever I used the ImageMagick application to open the .gif files, the speed that it is playing the .gif is very fast, and there is a need for me to click on the "speed" button followed by the "slower" option so as to match the speed with the .mov.

My question would be wow can I check or ensure that the .gif animation is playing at its 'supposed' speed/ framerate? (Using either the Faster/ Slower speed does not seems to assure me that I am converting my .gif animation correctly..)

Add -delay X to your convert command right after convert and not after reading the input. See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... .php#delay

Please, always provide your IM version and platform when asking questions, since syntax may differ. Also provide your exact command line and if possible your images.

If using Imagemagick 7, then see http://imagemagick.org/script/porting.php#cli
