akshtray Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) This is a standard feature in Photoshop but I do realize that neither Photo nor Designer have any such feature. I am not trying to do anything complicated. The idea is to use a background image and add some simple animation. I am thinking basically a timed text message where words appear over 2 seconds on the image background, etc. Just looking for suggestions of software (paid or otherwise) that can let me do this. I am trying out Moho 12 Debut and like it but I realize that it does not let me export to the .gif format. Suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

souacz Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 If you want to make simple gifs - try https://ezgif.com/ - a lot of options, optimizing etc. If you want to build more complex animations - you can use SwishMax. It used to be commercial software, now the company publishing it has ceased its operations, the software is abadonned and can be downloaded and activated for free. It is basically for building flash animations but it also has the options of exporting it to GIF. You can download the program from the Polish distributor website (translate page with Google Translator): http://www.swish.pl/swish_max - do not be afraid to use key generator - it's developed by Swish Company, the developer of software you unlock. The SwishMax generated GIF animations are a bit poorly compressed, you can use https://ezgif.com/ to optimize the file akshtray 1 Quote Dell Precision T7910, 2x Xeon E5-2630v3, 128 GB RAM DDR4, Quadro K6000, Dell UP2716D, Huion Inspiroy Q11K V2 Pen Tablet, WIN 10 PRO Dell Precision T3640, Xeon W1290, 128 GB RAM DDR4, Quadro RTX 5000, Eizo CG319X, Huion Inspiroy Q11K V2 Pen Tablet, WIN 10 PRO FWS -----Graphic software: Affinity Photo, Designer, Publisher - Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, InDesign, Illustrator, Acrobat - Zoner Photo Studio - Topaz Gigapixel Ai, Denoise Ai, Sharpen Ai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akshtray Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Thanks @souacz. Are there any other standalone apps like Swish that are also options? I prefer to go the standalone desktop app route than a website to do the conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wosven Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Gimp can do GIF too, you can for example export some images img_01.png, img_02.png, img_xx.png and import them in bulk, they'll show as layer 1 to xx. You'll have some options when saving as GIF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
