Antimated gifs?

Post by skee »

I have just started using this product and I can not get my animated gif
file to run. Do I need to do something special?
The reason I purchased this to make screensavers is because other products do not support antimated gifs.

Please explain what do you mean by "I can not get my animated gif
file to run". More details are needed.

It seems to work just fine.

thanks for quick reply.
I created an antimated gif from an avi file and it shows up in the small preview window working fine. When I use the full preview of the screensaver it is not antimated. It is a very large image and the tranparenties show well, but no antimation. It is a figure and the figure does not move. It will change places on the screen but the movement of the figure does not work. Is there a size limit?

It could be that the image is too big. GIFs were designed for use on the web mainly, so GIF images should not be too large in size. But I think if it is below 1000 kb, it should work without problems.
