GIF Movie Gear makes GIF animation easy and intuitive. The graphical interface of this animator lets you view all the frames (not just their numbers) and directly manipulate them using drag-and-drop functionality and the toolbar. Powerful palette reduction with before-and-after views combines with interframe optimization to keep the file size down, and a real-time previewer helps get the timing just right. You can select transparency, read AVI and BMP files, export compressed AVI or GIF film strips, and even generate HTML code for putting the animated GIF on the Web. Version 2.6 adds unlimited undo/redo, better optimization, improved palette editing, support for multiple transparent colors, more powerful previewing, and support for Windows animated cursors.
