Make gif from multiple PNG files

Question

I'm trying to combine about 45 png files to make a gif, or to make a video, or some type of movie or animated image.

Please provide ideas for how I can do this? Is there free software I can download? Is there Java code I can write to do this? etc.

Thanks

Answer 1

You can use ImageMagick. There's plenty of documentation on creating GIF animations.

It may be as simple as:

convert -delay 20 -loop 0 *.png myanimation.gif

Answer 2

You can use a free program called GIMP. There are plenty of videos on youtube saying how to do that.
