Why is an MGF file needed that all imported images are converted to bitmaps? Since a GIF file only contains fixed images, saving the working file in the MGF file format allows you to retain all the object information contained in your animation. Therefore, a GIF file itself is less flexible. It's recommended that you keep all editable objects in a MGF file for editing before creating a GIF file. When an image is imported to MotionGIF, say a JPEG file, it is converted to a
bitmap file internally. This is because MotionGIF provides the ability to edit
any image bit-by-bit. Using Image Editor, double-clicking the image, you can
edit any part of the image. | |||||||||
