e.g. 'convert ani.gif frame%03d.gif' will create files like frame000.gif, frame001.gif,...

  I've read the man page for convert, and I'm still not sure on how to extract the different frames of an animated gif file? Any hints? Thanks -

  With the ImageMagick(its magick!) package it is easy to extract the diffrent frames. If  the 'convert' tool is available, I think it's possible from the command-line too.

   

  But isn't the problem, that the gif contains no vector information?

    If you have a library that parses the animated GIF and returns you full frames (or all the information about partial frames), then it's an easy enough task.

    As far as I know, though, there aren't that many packages that operates on animated GIFs. That makes the task not that easy.

      I am trying to use Ming (PERL) to convert an animated .gif file I have to a .swf movie . This seems like an easy enough task, is it? Any help would be appreciated.

       

      Thanks!
