Editors' Review

Download.com staffFebruary 5, 2013

For a pure shareware application, Longtion GIF Animator shows surprising polish. The installer makes a good first impression, running quickly and offering to launch the program. The application interface is well-executed; it hides obscure commands in the menus and places more common ones on the toolbar in the form of large, attractive buttons, well-marked with tool tips. Individual animation frames run vertically on the left side. Clicking a frame calls it up in the Compose window, where you can modify it with a standard set of drawing and painting tools. Another click switches you to the Preview window for a look at the finished animation. However, the lack of a step-by-step wizard means you may have to read the tutorial before plunging in. The application also boasts easy-to-use tools for creating simple text animations and slide shows in the GIF format. Be aware the demo version slaps a watermark on your GIFs. For that reason, we recommend this software to developers who will try before buying.

Its a demo that puts a water mark on everything.
RTFMAugust 3, 2010
Pros
None that I could find.
Cons
The watermark. I'm not willing to post the edited pix to my web because of the watermarks.
Summary
The watermark prevents you from actually testing the output. Moving on...
Not what you're looking for

Pros
It can apparently convert Gif animations into Flash, but I don't care enough to try it...
Cons
It says it supports Jpeg files, but that's only in the Slideshow task (which sucks!)<p>You must convert all files to Gif first before making Gif animations, which is a pain in the butt!<p>If you can afford it, use the Coffeecup animator, I had that a long time ago, works great!
Summary
Unusable.

Pros
If you don't need a heavy and complete suite for making professional works, but just you are looking for a simple and quite powerful tool for creating and editing animated text and picture, this is a very good program.
Cons
Summary
Its not bad.

Pros
I was looking for something to deal with for animated images but its not bad but I wish there were more options!
Cons
If I were to enter text in the pic it doesnt have an option like word wrap or anything. It is very difficult to master. Crappy layout design but its ok as long as it works!!
Summary
Don't try the trial
