[Gimp-user] Creating GIFs in GIMP

[Lorgach <forums gimpusers com>]

Hi,
I have created an animated gif with 30 Frames/Layers that runs in the 'Loop Forever' option.

I now wish to convert this GIF to run in the 'Ping-Pong' option but cannot figure how to do this without 
going through the whole ‘Extract Videorange’ process again as this is the only place that I can find that 
will allow me the option of selecting 'Ping-Pong' when I’m selecting the short clip to create the GIF from 
the original AVI.

I have tried opening the GIF in the main GIMP window, then selecting the ‘Video’ dropdown then ‘Move Path’. 
This will open a window for some GIFs, but it wont recognise other GIFs as a valid source. Even when I can 
get this window to open it gives multiple error messages and I can’t figure how to import the GIF into it so 
that I can select the 'Ping-Pong' option in the ‘Step Mode’ field.

I am using GIMP 2.6.11 as I haven’t upgraded to the new version yet.

Any help will be appreciated.
