I have images of a moving part I've made into an animated GIF using
"convert -dispose 2 @StaticImages.txt -loop 0 Animation.gif." That
worked quite well, except I wanted a slower animation, so I generated
again with "convert -delay 20 -dispose 2 @StaticImages.txt -loop 0
Animation.gif." The "-delay 20" option made a better animation and
didn't make a larger Animation.gif file.
However, I want the animation interactive, which I'm told isn't possible
with a GIF. And if I understand correctly, the "dispose" and "loop" are
GIF-only options. So I made an MPG animation using "convert
@StaticImages.txt Animation.mpg." That was again too fast so I again
successfully used "convert -delay 20 @StaticImages.txt Animation.mpg."
The problem is the "-delay 20" option makes for a considerably larger
Animation.mpg file. I know little of the MPG format. Is there a way to
slow the animation without increased file size? I'm open to other
formats that are interactive.
