Create animated GIFs
If the thought of creating an animated GIF file sounds as appealing as getting a root canal, then you haven't seen Gifx. This 32-bit program opens existing static GIF images and can automatically animate them using one of over 30 configurable, professional-looking effects, such as fades, blends, flips, and blurs. Although you might not have the same flexibility as with the old one-frame-at-a-time method, you just might find that Gifx can take care of most of your GIF animation needs. Not only will it save you a ton of time, it will help you to add some life to boring web pages. You won't be able to save your work in this evaluation copy. Note: Gifx is processor intensive; make sure your PC has plenty of horsepower if you hate to wait.
