This is an interesting service for gif's...

http://ezgif.com/split

It will return the DIFFERENCE only in the frames....rather than the whole image....so any pixel in the frame that is identical to the last frame becomes transparent....leaving just the difference.

I've not seen an 'online' service like this before, I've always done it the hard way, but its interesting to see just how the 'gif' frames are made up.

It makes much more sense of my ramblings earlier to explain about transparent pixels when you actually 'see' what the differences are.....if of course...there are any! :rofl:

LOL...... wher'd ma lizad go?......



Still trying to figure what the OP intends with such an animated 3-frame gif.....

But here's a crazy work-around..... In the timeline, insert an empty frame with 0 delay between each frame with visible layer.......

6-frame-dv8(deviate).gif

Guaranteed 3+3 frame visible animation.....

Or better still.... use 2 frames... One with visible layer 2secs .... the other with no layer 0secs..... same result....

How ya like dem apples, @MrToM? :pimp:

Fellas.....I'm sorry I didn't answer that question in post 4......but in post 1 I did indicate that all frames were coming from the same source graphic...
Sorry SargeUSMC I didn't mean it that way.....I meant that I, me, numbnuts here could have answered it in post #4.....I got halfway by asking the question and then totally forgot to follow it up....my fault entirely.

I guess I was trying too hard to find a solution....and it was early.

Sorry for any confusion.

Regards.
MrToM.

LOL.... that's what you get for messing with Mr. Sal A. Manda's Starry, starry Night portrait..... :devilish: .

Post 43 image is up...... Post 28 image is really outta here.... lol... just re-upload if you're up to it..... or check your image attachment folder in Advanced Edit mode and drag the image (if it's there in the folder) into the insert field.

Burned.:eek:

Post 43 image was fine.....it was the duplicate in YOUR quote that just upped and vanished! Right before me very eyes it did.


Post 28....Nope...not there.
Vanished as well.....like an old oak table.....or is that varnished?

This kept happening to Sam too.....now me.

Oh well....it wasn't important....but it could have been.

Thanks anyway.

Sorry guys, I had to run for a while!

Like dv8 no matter what I tried short of changing the frames/layers slightly, could I get it to work.

I have never had the need to create an animation that did not animate so I was unaware of such a problem.
