CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Although it's not the prettiest program, GIF Movie Gear provides decent functionality for creating GIF animations. The application includes a basic graphic editor, although you won't find ready-made effects or automatic animation. Frames are shown as a sequence, not in a real time line, which makes editing long animations difficult. However, you will have no difficulty setting animation delays, swapping images, or changing the palette. You can import JPEGs, GIFs, or AVIs as source files. The program converts quickly, turning AVIs into animated GIFs in seconds, even for 1MB files. The utility also provides solid capabilities for Internet optimization, such as crop and resize or reducing the amount of colors. The optimization dialog box displays current size and possible savings, but it doesn't let you preview the optimized animation. If you already have a good graphics editor, GIF Movie Gear suffices.Publisher's description
From Gamani Productions :GIF Movie Gear makes building GIF animations easy. The intuitive interface of this animator uses a filmstrip metaphor to show all the frames at once, and all aspects of the animation (transparency, timing, and order.) can be controlled using drag and drop and the toolbar. The application's useful features include palette reduction, inter-frame optimization, animation resizing, cropping, support for Photoshop PSD, PNG, JPEG, AVI, BMP, ICO, Flash, SWF, ANI, and GIF.

Version: GIF Movie Gear 4.2.3
"Excellent Animation Program!"
Pros: This program is very easy to use and I found it useful in making animated images. This is one of the few programs out there that can make APNG`s. I can do anything that I needed to do to my GIF/APNG animation such as resize, crop, rearrange etc...
Cons: The only thing I didn`t like was the fact that you have to resize BEFORE optimizing. If you optimize first and then resize, you get strange pixels in your animation.
Summary: This is a great tool for anyone interested in making animated GIF/APNG`s. I was a beginner when it came to making animated pictures but in minutes I could make animations. You can use this program to do basically anything you may need to do in an an... read more >>
