I am trying to make a gif with images using convert. But in the resulting gif, the images are just stacking one over the other.
Here is the created gif : https://i.imgur.com/EgISW2y.gif
I tried creating it with simple command :
$ convert -delay 8 -loop 0 plot_* result.gif
Try using the -dispose setting with previous option, which disposes the previous frames after they are displayed:
convert -dispose previous -delay 8 plot_* -loop 0 result.gif

Ezgif.com is a great page but can ImageMagick get the same results?
Ezgif settings:
Delay: 200 per image
Crossfade frames
Fader delay: 6
Frame Count: 10
My attempt via Linux Terminal:
convert -delay 200 -loop 0 *.jpg myimage.gif
As i told you on FL, you need to simply use
convert -resize (Smallest size) -delay 200 -morph 200 (source) (destination)
e.g:
convert -resize 200x200 -delay 200 -morph 200 /var/home/user1/pictures/*.jpg /var/home/user1/myresult.gif
on my side i can show you the result like this used on WINDOWS
in Windows Pictures folder
used this command:
C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures>convert -resize 20% -delay 20 -loop 0 *.jpg -morph 5 myimage.gif
Here is Unix shell script to create a faded animation of 4 images each with 10 intermediate fades. It loops over each successive pair of images and creates the faded intermediate images by blending the pair at different percentages.
Input:
(
imgArr=(lena.jpg mandril3.jpg zelda1.jpg peppers.jpg)
for ((i=0; i<4; i++)); do
img1=${imgArr[$i]}
j=$((i+1))
jj=$((j%4))
img2=${imgArr[$jj]}
for ((k=0; k<11; k++)); do
pct=$((10*k))
convert $img1 $img2 -define compose:args=$pct -compose blend -composite miff:-
done
done
) | convert -delay 20 - -loop 0 anim.gif
Animation:
Note that I had to shrink the image to 75% dimensions to make the file size small enough for upload here.
A complete one-liner solution with increased delay for main frames and last-to-first transition, with the same settings OP asked:
convert -loop 0 *.jpg -morph 10 -set delay '%[fx:(t%11!=0)?6:200]' -duplicate 1,-2-1 out.gif
-morph 10 inserts 10 intermediate frames between every original frame, so we need to increase the delay time for every 11th frame, so the fx part sets different delay time for them.
-duplicate 1,-2-1 does the transition for last to first frame
This seems like a question people may have asked indirectly before, but my question is more straightforward.
I have a folder of images sized 559x464 px.
[cbloecke#mac:cropped]% file file1_95w65w20n50n.png
file1_95w65w20n50n.png: PNG image data, 559 x 464, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced
All the png images have the same "95w" text in the filename. I use the imagemagick -loop and -delay commands to make them into an animated gif.
convert *95w*.png -delay 30 -loop 0 animated_95w65w20n50n_t.gif
But every time I do this, the resulting gif is resized larger with lots of empty space around it.
[cbloecke#mac:cropped]% file animated_95w65w20n50n_t.gif
animated_95w65w20n50n_t.gif: GIF image data, version 89a, 720 x 1080
I've tried using -trim and -resize 559x464 to reduce the size of the image, but they aren't doing anything. Why does imagemagick keep adding all this extra space? How do I trim it back down to the original 559x464?
Note: I'm working on a network where I have no control over the modules installed, so I'd prefer a solution in imagemagick, or potentially another default linux module.
Try repaging your images after you open them so they forget any previous virtual canvas sizes:
convert *95w*.png +repage -delay 30 -loop 0 anim.gif
I was just trying out to create a GIF image from a group of images. Then I end up with ImageMagick. I have posted the code as answer below.
If you want to create a GIF image from a group of images through command prompt, you can do it with ImageMagick in a single step.
"convert -delay 20 -loop 0 image_to_convert*.jpg new_animated.gif"
For example,
If names of the images starts with 'sphere' and ends with '.jpg'. Executing the following command we can generate GIF image.
"convert -delay 20 -loop 0 sphere*.jpg new_animated.gif"
I have a bunch of files labelled 1.png and so on. I'm using the following command line to produce a gif animation:
convert -delay 20 *.png animation.gif
But the frames get superposed sequentially. I did not expect this behavior, what might be wrong?
Thanks
Option -dispose previous:
convert -dispose previous -delay 20 *.png animation.gif
I have an animation as a batch of .png files (100 files). The background is transparent in the source .png files. I want to convert them into a single animated gif. I have tried this command:
convert -delay 0 -loop 0 -alpha set *.png ani.gif
But the result is the following (green is the HTML page background):
How should I remove the previous frames from an every following one?
I've found -dispose previous.
UPDATE
OK, convert -delay 0 -loop 0 -alpha set -dispose previous *.png ani.gif
The solution is here:

The magic keyword seems to be “dispose” and calling the following fixed the problem:
convert -dispose 2 screencapture-*.tga screencapture.gif
