Creating an animation using default settings

This example shows how to create an animation

Arguments

; this example shows the easiest way of creating an animated gif by using
; a mask to select frames, and specifying global values

p1_walk*.png              ; add frames for all files matching this mask
create1.gif               ; last filename in the list is the output file
                          ; unless the /O argument is used

/l                        ; loop the animation. As we haven't specified
                          ; the /LC argument, the animation will loop
                          ; infinitely

/fd 100                   ; set the default frame duration to be 100ms
/fdm RestoreBackground    ; set the default disposal method to redraw
                          ; the back ground

/gp                       ; create a global palette and apply it to all
                          ; frames
                          
/ac "Created by Cyotek Gif Animator"
                          ; add a comment to the animation, but not to
                          ; the individual frames
                          
/y                        ; do not prompt overwrite files
