Animation with ImageMagick

 (MrQ Animated_gif_using_ImageMagick.py)

Author: MareroQ
Implemented plugin ofn-export-layers.py by Ofnuts.

Older versions and comments here:

In menu: Filters ➤ Animation ➤ Animated gif using ImageMagick...

Gimp is not the best tool for creating animated gifs (instead of using the 256 color limit for the frame, this applies to the entire gif).
In this case, you can support Gimp with the great capabilities (HQ) of ImageMagick.

The current release is ImageMagick 7.1.0-49.
https://imagemagick.org/index.php
For Windows download size:~37 Mb, instaled with options: Associate supported and Install legacy: ~116 Mb

 

Ver.0.4

Ver.0.5

(08/10/2022)

(MrQ Animation with ImageMagick.py)

 

Changes:

- change of 'Delay' unit to milliseconds (according to Gimp),
- add export support as animated webp,
- added the ability to replicate 3 frames (top, bottom and any selected) in order to extend the display of key frames,
- changing the name in the menu to: "Animation with ImageMagick...",

- bugfix for replicate (09/10/2022).

Advice.
Animated webp format converts frames (merge) according to its own algorithm,
 so for further easy editing (modification) save it also as xcf.

 

Ver.0.6.

(17/10/2022)

 

Changes:
 - added export support as mp4.
 - added option: 'Play in a loop' (gif or webp).
