Hi everybody,

I want to visualize results of a numerical simulation. This produces for example 6000 images (typically I need much more):

        data/particle_0001.gif
        data/particle_0002.gif
        data/particle_0003.gif
        data/particle_0004.gif
        data/particle_0005.gif
        data/particle_0006.gif
        data/particle_0007.gif
        ...
        data/particle_6000.gif

My naive idea was to create an animated gif by

        convert -delay 10 data/p*.gif  movie_particle.gif

Ok, this does not work, because my shell does not like this many arguments. No problem, so I wrote a shell script for splitting the problem

        convert -delay 10 data/p*_01*.gif movie_particle_01.gif
        convert -delay 10 data/p*_02*.gif movie_particle_02.gif
        convert -delay 10 data/p*_03*.gif movie_particle_03.gif
        convert -delay 10 data/p*_04*.gif movie_particle_04.gif
        ...

Such that each anaimated gif consists of about 100 images. While this works so far: it almost seems to be impossible to glue together these packages:

        convert -delay 10 movie_particle_*.gif  movie_particle.gif

I mean this takes for ever ...

So my most likely very dumb question: what is the right way to do this?

Michael


P.S:  In case this is needed the image files are here:
