(Q) What is the maxiumun size of gif that can be created with MotionGIF??
Is there an industry standard on the maxium size. For example can I use MotionGIF to create an Animated Banner Ad 300x800 pixels ??
----------------------
(A) There is no industry standard of a maximum size of a GIF file that we know of. And there is no maximum banner ad size either.
As long as you are comfortable to upload and place on your web page, it should be OK. Showing a GIF animation image is, first the visitor downloads the image to his PC, then it starts to animate on his IE. So the bigger the file, the longer the download time.

Even today's internet speed is increasing for everyone, a GIF more than 5M would not be recommended.

(Q) Hi, I'm developing an application to generate the images required for an animated gif. Once i've generated the images, i just need some software to 'bundle them up' into a single gif and compress them. The process needs to be automated.
Is there any way of automating this scenario in MotionGif?
---------------------
(A) Do you mean you have taken, say 10 images, and you need a software to automatically pick them up and generate an animated GIF? If so, MotionGIF cannot do that.
You can drag&drop each image to a new frame in MotionGIF, then generate an animated GIF in MotionGIF.

It also can record animation and Flash movies broadcasted on the web.

(Q) When I select an image using the image tool and drag it the frame or the Unsaved MotionGIF file box, it does not show up in the frame or in the Unsaved MotionGIF file box. However,if I double click on the file box, the image shows up for editing. If I try to build a gif file, the file does show a reasonable file size but the gif file is blank.

Also, if I drag an images from one of the sample libraries, that picture shows up as it should.

I am operation under XP SP2. So do I have a bad program or am I just too dumb to make this work. I did have an older version working under W98.
-----------------------
(A) We tried to recreate the error, but not able to.

To import an image, there are two ways,
(1) Click the "Image" tool in Toolbox. When the file "Open" dialog box shows up, you can highlight the image file you want and click the "Open" button to import.
(2) Open Windows Explorer, find your image file and drag&drop on MotionGIF.

After the image is imported into MotionGIF, you can select the image and change the image opacity on the Properties list.

To edit, you can double-click the imported image.

We're not sure which way you were use to import or was it an editing issue?

Also, the default image properties can be setup from the "Options" in the Tools menu.

Here are some step-by-step guides,

(Q) I downloaded the latest version from your site and installed on my laptop. All works fine. So I uninstalled the version I had on my desktop and installed the one I had just downloaded. Still doesn't work. Any image I import will not display.

I even turned off my anti-virus and firewall, uninstalled and reinstalled. Still no workee.
Guess I will have to use my laptop for now.
----------------------
(A) The image Opacity may be was set to 0. Hence, it would be transparent. We indicated in the last email to check that.
"After the image is imported into MotionGIF, you can select the image and change the image opacity on the Properties list."
If you want to see without any transparency, please set to 100.

(Q) Can I add sound/Voice/Music to my animated files using MotionStudio and or
MotionGIF (GIF Animator).
-----------------------------
(A) MotionStudio has the ability to add sound/voice and music to your animation, and creating an EXE file.
MotionGIF will create an animated GIF file. A .GIF file is an image file, with no sound.
