Converting an animated Gif to one long Bitmap (not animated)

Converting an animated Gif to one long Bitmap (not animated)

Post by Aide » Thu, 19 Mar 1998 04:00:00



Hi all,

Does anyone know of an easy way to take all the frames in an animated Gif
and convert them to one long Bitmap??

If you are wondering why anyone would want to do this, it because I'm
trying to change the animated graphic in the top right hand corner of
Netscape. I have an animated Gif to go there but the file has to be one
long bitmap. It isn't animated, the software does this anyway, it just
has to be a series of images contained within one image.

Can anyone suggest a way of doing this without cutting and pasting all
the images??


get to read this group.

Thanks a lot

Aiden

Aiden,
If you have the right software, you can do it. Open your animated .gif
in Premiere or convert it an .avi file and then open it in Premiere.
Save it from Premiere as an .flm file. Open the .flm file in Photoshop
and then save it as a .bmp or whatever you want. The .flm file is a film
strip format. When you open it in Photoshop you will see a long series
of images just like a film strip. That should do it. Good luck.
