Publisher's description
From Microsoft :Microsoft GIF Animator lets you easily create and customize animated GIF files for your Web site.GIF animations are based on the GIF89a file format, which stores timing information to create the illusion of animation like a cartoon "flipbook". With GIF Animator you can make your animations loop, spin, fade in and out; set the size and transparency of your images; and control a wide range of other options. GIF Animator also features automatic or custom palette creation.
CNET Editor's Note: Microsoft bundled the GIF Animator with the ImageComposer application quite some time ago, as reflected on the product information page link, but you may still download the stand-alone version using the VersionTracker download link. (12/13/05 KEH)

Version: Microsoft GIF Animator 1.0.0.101
"Basic program for creating animated gifs, ok by me."
Pros: Nice easy interface, good if few options, good help, fairly intuitive.
Doesn't seem to take up to much resources, handles images well.Cons: Only accepts *.gif or *.avi files (only tried gifs so far). No conversion.
Summary: Not bad for being free. Got to get the hang of it, but once done it does what it says: an animated gif. An external program for editing or converting files is needed before opening them with it.

Version: Microsoft GIF Animator 1.0.0.101
"lets you create an animated gif"
Pros: Fairly easy to use, and lets you adjust the time period per frame. Individual frames can display for varying times.
Cons: Not the most intuitive software to figure out how to use. It works but you have to muck about a while to understand how to make it do what you want...
Summary: This is a nifty little program that did exactly what it said it would, and exactly what I wanted -- it makes an animated gif file.
Note -- it does not make a gif image from scratch -- you have to have another piece of software to do that ... read more >> -
Version: Microsoft GIF Animator 1.0.0.101
Pros: Hmm... Cons?
Cons: Does this actually create gifs? I just think it looks at gif? Plus its not even good at looking at gifs.
Summary: Well first of all the only files you can add to it are gifs. I'm trying to make gifs... which means i probably don't have any gifs... so yeah...

Version: Microsoft GIF Animator 1.0.0.101
Pros: I don't know because I was not able to create a new GIF.
Cons: Only lets you edit GIFs. The program does not let you create new GIF images.
Summary: Since I was not able to test this programs ability to edit GIFs, I gave it 3 stars instead of 1.
