Please supply your full command line. It is hard to know if it is a bug or wrong syntax. What is your platform, since syntax may differ. Did you specify a delay? Did you put the delay before reading the input images?

convert file.1.gif -coalesce -crop trimmer[0] +repage -loop 0 file.gif

I don't think a delay is specified, is it required?
how do you specify a delay?

[fmw42]

what is "trimmer[0]"? -crop requires WxH+X+Y arguments

You should not need a -delay, but it is a good idea to put one it. Some viewers do not know how to handle it without a delay.

just -delay? or does it require an argument?

-delay 0 maybe?

*edit, tested -delay 0 and it didn't make any difference

The "-delay" setting requires an argument of the length of delay in 1/100th seconds.You should probably get familiar with the various settings described near the top of THIS page. You'll find a lot of helpful information there.

adding the delay makes no difference

could there be another reason why the loop isn't working? or is it a bug?

[fmw42]

Please identify your exact command line with actual values, not code with arguments and your input file. Perhaps your code is not getting parsed correctly. Can you provide a simple example command and image that fails, so we can try to reproduce it on your version of ImageMagick.

source :
0.gif

commands :
convert 0.gif -loop 0 1.gif
convert 0.gif -loop 0 -delay 0 2.gif

the output don't seem to have loop

[GeeMack]

commands :
convert 0.gif -loop 0 1.gif
convert 0.gif -loop 0 -delay 0 2.gif

the output don't seem to have loop

Put "-delay 10" before reading in the input, or use "-set delay 10" after. Try one of these...

Code: Select all

convert -delay 10 0.gif -loop 0 1.gif

Code: Select all

convert 0.gif -set delay 10 -loop 0 1.gif

bad news, this set delay parameter speeds up the gif animation sometimes and this is unwanted

is there another way to fix the loop?

[fmw42]

Just set the longer delay, if it is too quick. The problem is that often viewers do not know how to handle animations without a delay. They can get different delays set by the viewer, so you won't get a consistent looking delay (result) across various viewers. Set the delay to what you want equivalent to what you see on your viewer and it should be consistent as long as the delay is there.

^ I don't process files individually, I need a setting that is functional for every gif, working loop without altering the animation speed

is imagemagick unable to do that?
