How to create AnimatedGif files by a script?

[henkier]

Hi,

At an Event my script will get me 1 picture each second for about 30 seconds from my webcam. As a result I have 30 pictures in a directory.
Now I was wondering how to put these 30 pictures into an animated gif by the script.

Does anybody know about a program that have e.g. a command-line-interface, so such animated gifs can be created by my script as well. ?
The Gifanimator programs I've found on the internet uses (manually) drag-and-drop only.

You can't create a single animated gif from several gifs (well not with out writing hundreds of lines of code). If you wanting to simulate an animated gif on a web page for example why not simply write a javascript that updates the image every X number of milliseconds?

You might take a look at this. It cost $20 but from the description is does exactly what you want.

imageconsole /animate /loop:-1 /time:100 *.jpg myanimation.gif
Create a GIF animation from your images. Loop forever and wait one second between images

I don't use it for this but have for mass conversions.
