Fixed frame in gif animation

Post by mwm25 »

Hi,

I created different frames for a gif animation. It is the same picture (polymer chain) but some small molecules moving around. I added the frame but when I run the animation, instead of saying the polymer molecule fixed and the small molecules moving, I saw all the picture moving. I did resizing and put all the same size but it did not work. How can I fix the size of the frames so that it appears fixed with the only small molecules rotating? Thank you for your help and your prompt response.

If the main element appears in motion during animation, it means that you haven't aligned it precisely with all the frames. All of your frames either must be the same size or if they are not, you must adjust them so that distance form the fixed element from the top and from the left is exactly the same on all frames (not almost the same, but exactly the same) only this will allow to achieve perfect result.

Usually frame containing fixed part is created and duplicated number of times and then moving parts are added (but this works only if you draw from scratch).
