Animations

[Saranbo Helon]

 I wanted to create a short animated movie, to do this I put them jpegs as
layers above each other and had Gimp create that animation

to my suprise I found no way of saving that movie nor could I figure out how
to set a framerate for it (like 10 pictures a second or something like that)

If somebody could tell me how
or if somebody knows another linux program that can be controlled with
console commands I'd be very grateful

Animations must be saved in GIF format in Gimp. 
Work with your graphic as RGB, then index it when
you're done so it can be saved as a GIF. You need
to tell Gimp it's an animation by naming each layer
as:

frame 1(500ms), frame 2(1000ms), etc.

This is where you set the length of time that each
frame is displayed during the animation. Experiment
a bit to get the effect you want. 

Hope this helps,

 Hiya
 
 I'm just wondering, how do i set specific delays for each/some frames in
 a gifanimation? The only thing i've seen is the generic delay you can
 set when exporting the animation, but where do i set the others?

in the layer comment, put the delay in brackets in miliseconds:

frame (1000ms)

ie the frame will last for a second

It says in the gimp manual.  In the layers dialogue, save the layer
name as foo(200ms) and layer foo will display for 200 miliseconds.
Rather simple really.
