GIF Animation

[PeterPan]

I'm looking for a way to include a short animated GIF in my presentations, such as a "cartoon-like" bird flying across the screen.

Is there a way to do that in P2E 5.6?

Thanks for any help!

Hello Peter,

Unfortunately you can not include animated gif in PTE.

But please, post your gif and I will try to suggest or if you wish make myself an animation with it during the week-end.

Thanks for your generous offer "THEDOM".

Fortunately, I know how to make short animations using multi-frame pictures, but they are so time consuming that I wanted to have a short-cut with GIFs.

I'm just curious, how come it's so easy to have animated GIFs in messages here ( ) and not in P2E?

The copyright issue with GIF images has been going on mostly during the last century!

But, it seems to be over since 15 years!

"... As of June 20, 2004, the GIF/LZW-related patents mentioned in this text have expired."

Nowadays, programmers have made leaps and bounds in other tools, such as PNG (which didn't exist during the "Compuserve era of GIFs" imaging.

So, my question is still valid: Is there a way to include GIF images in P2E?

Yes, but not animated GIF images.

Is this what you mean? Visit My Website

Made in Pro Show a couple of years ago as a demo but no doubt could be done in P2E.

I should have made clear that 'elephant.exe' is the file!
