Im is pretty good, but sometimes it is better to optimize the animation using multiple methods and programs to see what is best. Even if they get by the banner and the watermark, the animation will not be a good as what a paying user could get.Īnd lastly, watch your GIF optimizaer. The best method has been to create a smaller, non-transparent version with a see-though water mark over the animation, as well as have the clearly visible banner underneath. Third, adding a banner under an animation will not protect the image. Second watch the number of added colors, GIF is not known for having a lot of colors and adding extra colors like white, can cause speckling problems. If the animation has no transparency, DON'T ADD TRANSPARENCY, figure out if you should use a specific color background as appropriate. You may however need to consider as few points. Of course if you are only doing this for one or a dozen animations (I doubt this) you can just tweek things until you are happy with the result. You need to really understand the GIF format, its limitations, handling, disposal, and optimization issues, if you are going to get good results for any GIF animation. You will be proud of yourself when you succeed.īasically you are asking for trouble and I would study completely all four IM Examples pages on animation and video handling before proceeding. Sorry, I can't give out that actual script But then I could not make some serious improvements for it too.Įssentially it did the task by coalescing, creating that extra space, drawing the watermark and re-optimizing the image. This script predated the '-layers' method too. ![]() I actually did work for a web site (they actually payed me money) to write a script that does exactly what you were requesting. Draw is one way, but another is to use "-layers composite"
