You can use the exec functions to do something like this with imagemagick:
convert -delay 10 image*.gif animated.gif

Ok, I have imagemagick on my server. How do I work this thing? my host says the path to imagemagick is /usr/local/lib/ImageMagick/


I don't know how to access this path unless it only works with shell exec.

Without exec functions, you can use this class:

Photoshop.

If you create a file and save the animation frames per layer. You can then "jump to imageready", Which is Adobe's Animated gif editing program. And set a key frame to unhide a certain layer for a given amount of time.

Without these two programs, I have no idea.

You can also use fireworks to creat a frame delay.
Each frame can have its own delay time,
i.e.

image1
|
\/
1sec.

image2
|
\/
3sec.

image3
|
\/
5sec.


and so on,...

Try software named AnyToGif, it allows you to convert any image(BMP, JPEG, PNG...) to gif-format image and edit it by means of such function as rotating, stretch, crop, border, etc.

Using AnyToGif you can convert images in a few mouse clicks.

1.Choose folder which contains the images.

2.Choose images which should be transformed.

3.Change image options and press button "Convert Selection".

Unfreez is extremely easy to use for gif animations...and its free. Although Fireworks and other softwares have more capabilities.
