Neomesh Image Converter is able to create simple GIF animations from your
images. In this animation I am going to show you how to create an animation by
loading your images into the image list, set the animation options and then
select the convert button.
Step 1 - Load the images into the image list
If you wish to add a folder of images, select the
 button,
if you want to add the images individually, select the
 button.
If you added a folder, the following dialog is displayed. Browse to the
folder of images you wish to add and select OK.
If you added the images individually, browse to the folder where your images
are located, select the image(s) and press OK. You can select multiple images by
holding down CTRL and clicking on each image.
Once you have added your images, they will be displayed in the image list.
You can view the image simply by clicking on it.
Step 2 - Arranging the images
Now that you have loaded your images into the image list, you need to arrange
them into the desired order. When you select an image, the image will be
displayed in the right hand pane. The animation is compiled from top to bottom.,
to arrange the images select the filename and press the
 or
 buttons.
Note: You are able to move multiple images at a time by holding down SHIFT while
selecting.
Step 3 - Setting up your GIF animation
Click on the Settings tab or press the
 button.
- Select GIF animation from the Join Type box. You will notice that the
options you don't need to use will be disabled.
- Select the filename for the GIF animation by clicking on the
 button.
- The GIF animation time is in hundredths of a second. The minimum speed for
each frame is 10 (1 tenth of a second). So if you enter 200 as I have, the
each frame of the animation will be displayed every 2 seconds.
- The Loop Forever checkbox determines whether to loop the animation
indefinitely. When this checkbox is selected the animation will loop forever,
if this checkbox is deselected, the GIF Loops box will be enabled allowing you
to enter in the number of times you want the animation to loop.
You may want to set Effect & Transformation or Compression options aswell.
Step 4 - Compiling the GIF animation
Now that you have your images loaded into the image list and your GIF
animation options set you can start the conversion. Click the
 button to
start the conversion. A confirmation dialog will be displayed, click ok to start
the conversion.
