Automatic time synchronising of animated gifs

Post by hellocatfood »

I'm combining several animated gifs (a technique described here) and was wondering if it's possible to automatically synchronise the time differences? It was mentioned here that this may become a feature, but can't find any indication that it has (or will)

It has not been implemented. Though the examples (second link) has been expanded to detail the method outlined in the discussion of the first link (by expanding the animation to generate a frame for each fixed time interval)

In summery automation has not been programmed, and no one has put forward a script to do the general time sync algorithm that was outlined.

The original poster of the discussion also has not published his actual program to do fixed interval time synchronization (as is his right), though his did outline the technique he finally settled on.
