Can i render poser animations to animated Gif??? Please say YES!

Sorry, no. GIF (animated or otherwise) isn't a supported export option. You'll need to convert your video or image sequence to GIF format with a third-party utility. I use JASC Animation Shop, myself, but freeware alternatives are out there.

Sure. Just render to separate images, then use some 'GIF construction' application to put them together. You can find lots of free apps for that purpose... One thing to watch out for: If you're going to put the GIF on the web, the practical speed limit is about 10 frames per second. Internet Explorer will never play a GIF faster than that, no matter what the GIF's header claims. So plan your frames in Poser to look good at 10 per second, or slower.

Ulead Gif Animator imports AVI files and converts each frame to GIF.

Where can I get JASC Animation Shop and Ulead Gif Animator?

Corel now owns all of JASC's products, including Animation Shop and Paint Shop Pro.

Content Advisory! This message contains nudity

If you has Photoshop, ImageReady is able to create animated gifs (this one is by me-no link added, only pic)

![salvmove.gif](http://www.buckrogers.demon.co.uk/salvmove.gif)I made this animated GIF by making a still GIF for each frame and text-editing them together according to the GIF format. I wrote an EMACS-type text editor that can handle CR and LF and ascii-null correctly and thus I can trust it with binary files. It is a diver with a Salvus rebreather, as downloadable at this link. ![salvus_heavy.jpg](http://www.kuroyumes-developmentzone.com/appleyard/3dthumb/salvus_heavy.jpg)Message edited on: 10/02/2005 03:22

I actually made the first-ever animated GIF, about 16 years ago. ;-) I wanted to just mention that a proper GIF aniamtion will take advantages of the format to reduce the file size, something thayt can't be done by assembling mutiple full-frame GIFs, even though they work fine. Sorry Anthony, but I had to mention this. I used a freeware utility called (if I remember) GIF Construction Set to make later animated GIFs (my first were made as Anthony says, only many frames were partial), before Image Ready came around. Image Ready does a very good job, if you have Photoshop. I also should also mention that even back in 1989, it was stated in the format that GIF isn't really intended for animation.
