Odd GIF blinking

Post by grigory »

Hello guys,

I'm trying to put a tile image over the text and then add a border to the text:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/convert -size 413x132 xc:transparent \
-font /website/font.ttf -pointsize 40 -antialias \
-gravity north -annotate 0 "TextTextText" null: \( /website/tile.gif -virtual-pixel tile \
-set option:distort:viewport 413x132 -fuzz 5% -distort SRT 0 \) \
-compose In -layers Composite -loop 0 +repage -trim -layers Optimize /website/result.gif
This code worked for me until I upgraded to ImageMagick7 (I had IM 6.7 if I remember correctly).
BUT now the resulting image is blinking.

Why so? Could you please help me?

I would first try just adding "-background none" near the beginning of your command.
