Convert a set of .ps files into animated gif
Posted: 2011-12-08T02:00:10-07:00
Hi everybody,
I'm pretty new to ImageMagick but I love its powerfull commandlines already. I just have a problem which I can not fix: I have a set of .ps files and I want to make an animated gif movie with them. What I did so far is converting them into png and then converting the png into an animated gif. That works fine but I want to skip the process of converting them to png. I'm using this commandline
convert -delay 1 -density 150 -background white *.ps animation.gif
and I have two problems:
1) the background is still transparent and not white. But I want it to be white. When I use the -flatten command which usually solves the problem it flattens ALL the images into one
2) even without the flatten keywort it merges the images. Not all into one but it overplotts them so each animation phase is a superposition of the previous ones ...
Does anyone have an idea what I have to change?
Thank you and Cheers.
