gif animates way too fast

[kissa]

this is the gif i made. it animates WAY too fast, as you can see. the program i'm using (gifmation) allows me to slow down the bps but it seems to only have effect while still in the program, not on the internet.

how do i slow it down?
i have adobe photoshop cs2 v9.0.2 by the way, if there's anything i can do with that.

thanks.

ImageReady (bundled with PhotoShop) should help.

You can adjust the delay per frame in gif images. I'm not sure why gifmation doesn't save this. Maybe you need to find a checkbox such as "apply time delays" or something when exporting. I wouldn't know.

Most gif animation programs should allow this, so you should be able to find freeware if you can't figure it out in either.

I started reading this post 10 minutes ago. At least I think it was about 10 minutes. I started watching the gif animation, and next thing I know I was waking up on the floor. I believe it's very dangerous, please slow it down asap!

You want to be adjusting the fps (frames per second) or the display time for each frame, currently it is set to 0ms per frame. The bps is most likely to do with the quality of the image or the length of time required to download it at various connection speeds. Here it is at 50ms/frame.

currently it is set to 0ms per frame

How is that even possible?

It would be some odd blur of all of the images, unchanging, if so, I suppose.
However, it clearly isn't possible, so it would just display as fast as possible-- no delay, hence why it seemed his/her program wasn't applying the delay settings.

Also, there's really no point in bumping a thread over a month old...

Well, it might be of interest. 0ms per frame is what the image said it was in animation shop after I downloaded it and loaded it into that program. Technically speaking, at that rate, it should be a blur, but obviously it is not. This perhaps has to do with CPU's not being able to actually process the byte stream that quickly. It could be something else.

In any case, once the frame rate is changed to 50ms per, you can easily see the animation rate has slowed.

...it was on page 1...

Maybe 0ms means something like 999ns... hmm... Maybe that 6 GHz, 64 GB RAM computer I was discussing earlier could handle it...

[djr33]

It's impossible to read without any delay. It would just flash really really really fast, perhaps fast enough that to the human eye it would be the same.

999ns isn't no delay, just a short one.
