Zach Holman has written a ruby script called gifme which uses convert to create animated gifs like the one below.
Gifme runs convert with the -layers OptimizeTransparency
switch, which for
some reason, breaks the resulting gif. I haven’t quite figured out why yet. The
above gif was generated with the following command:
$ convert -delay 100 -loop 0 -resize 600 *.JPG output.gif
