Never had a problem with AVS.
I've been using Jasc because the interface is so slick and simple, but I'm familiar with Gimp for photo editing and I'd prefer to use it if possible.
Some questions for the Gimp-literate, though:
1. Easiest question, but something I'm too lazy to bother looking up: is there a quick way to view a layer individually? Simply highlighting it in the list of layers doesn't show it, and I'd like to be able to view each frame of the GIF individually to know what to cut.
2. Is there an easier way to "cull" the animation, and remove every other frame, every third frame, etc.?
3. Can you adjust the delay between frames and preview the GIF before saving it?
4. Is there a menu option to simply copy/paste text or other edits across all layers?
Amazingly helpful post.1. Shift + click on the eye. This will toggle the visibility of all other layers.
2. I'm sure it can be done with script-fu, but I'm not familiar with it. Might be easier to cull frames before importing to Gimp. I know that with iMovie, you can export video to image sequence at a lower frame rate, so that there are fewer frames. I imagine it's the same with VirtualDub, Fraps, etc.
3. Edit the layer name, and add the delay time in brackets anywhere you like. For example, a layer named "Frame (30ms) 001" will last for 30ms. Again, I'm sure you can batch rename all layers with script-fu, but I just do this before importing to Gimp. When I export video to image sequence, I'll just save them "Frame (30ms)" so it's already in all the image filenames.

Download the script and put it in your Gimp/scripts folder. In the program, go to Filters > Script-Fu > Refresh Scripts. This should add Filters > Animation > Overlay Background, and Combine Background.
My gif is 2mb, anyway to make that smaller? It's only 36 frames and the resolution is pretty small I think.?

Photoshop or GIMP or some other program with layers.how do i add text to gifs in photoshop?
-vo png -ss 00:00:00 -endpos 0 -nosub
Didn't know where I should put these, but here are two reaction gifs.
So for some reason gifs i make in PS vs JASC are much slower. Quality aside, compare the speed:

With JASC I follow instructions in the op (culling and frame properties change)
With PS I import files in stack, default speed is always listed at 0.00 secs and I don't fuck with it. I also delete every other frame manually before importing.
Help. I'd prefer using PS but I can't seem to get gifs to come out normal speed using this method.

Change the 0.00 to another value like 0.03 or 0.04. For some reason 0.00 is not the quickest speed.
My method is much easier.
1) Request a GIF from Sunhi
2) voila !!
ready for E3:
using gimp
Hey GIF gaf i'm trying to combine
this picture: http://i.imgur.com/dWFFQ.jpg
with this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KcvoJ0O9gA
I imported the video into photoshop ( created the layers) and try inserting the image from the part where he gets scared into the computer screen. I'm not sure what to do from there.
Any help would be appreciated.
Open the picture of the girl as a layer, use the resize and perspective tools to match it to the size of the computer screen in the gif, find the layer where the screen changes and paste it in, you'll have to make multiple copies of the picture and paste it into each frame of the gif afterwards, and then erase parts of it where his hand is as he punches through it.
I think you might be able to select all frames, disable visibility, and then select the frames you do want it to appear in and enable visibility for the layer.I ran into a problem, every time i paste the picture into a frame, it does this for all the frames and I am unable to edit it out. Is there a way around this? where I can only paste the picture into frames that I want.
