Determine if GIF is animated

[goldfinger]

Hi,

I need help with a command line to determine whether a .gif image is animated.
I found a solution on the web "identify -format" and if frames > 1 it's animated.
But for some reason this command didn't recognize all animated gifs, especially
"glitter" gifs were skipped.


Would appreciate your help here.

Thanks,
Avi

I have used

Code: Select all

identify -format "%n" image.gif

%n - number of scenes, if more than 1 (one) then its animated 100%!

This is exactly what I tried, but it skipped many... uhmmm...
I'll try it again. Thanks

Are you sure those images were animated. ALL animationed images must have two or more frames. It is there nature.

If you have an example of a animation that it 'skipped' can you port a URL to it?

Glitter is something that I have been meaning to add to IM examples. though there are about a half a dozen ways you can add glitter. Most of them maskes the stars to the area being glittered, making them look 'unreal'.

I tried this again, and everything worked just fine.
I suppose I must have made a mistake with the code in the first try.

Thank you
