I converted 2 files, iris0.png and iris1.png, resizing each with resolutions 900x675, 720x540, 576x432. I then made 3 animations, each corresponding to 1 resolution:
convert -delay 30 iris0-900.png iris1-900.png -loop 6 iris-900.gif
convert -delay 30 iris0-720.png iris1-720.png -loop 6 iris-720.gif
convert -delay 30 iris0-576.png iris1-576.png -loop 6 iris-576.gif
I then merged the animations:
convert iris-900.gif iris-720.gif iris576.gif -loop 1 iris.gif
Instead of the resulting animation looping once, playing each component gif in sequence, iris.gif loops 6 times playing the 2 files at each resolution only once in each cycle.
I've tried using :null to mark the end of each sequence to no avail (see <http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/anim_mods/#composite>) and coalesce doesn't seem to help.
I've uploaded the animations in the folder "splash-test" at the bottom of this page

Have I overlooked something simple? Thanks for your patience.
