Re: [Gimp-user] gimp-user-list Digest, Vol 42, Issue 7

Once I gave up the idea of using a gif file, I was able to do it very easily through windows media player.   
Thanks to all of you for your help!   Have a great weekend!

I am a new user attempting to convert power points to gifs that can be played on our company website.   I 
save the power point presentation as a gif, then open it as layers in gimp.   Once I save the presentation 
again, it works well, but the timings I had set in power point are gone.

I cannot find a "delay time" button nor can I find a way to use the "frames" to get the slides to the 
different timings I need.   I also occasionally have resolution problems when I open the presentation in gimp 
and again as I save them to a gif after I am finished in gimp.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.   Thank you!

Please follow http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Simple_Animations/,
especially Step 3.

Animated GIF is not a good format for this:

  * it won't adapt to the user's screen definition, you'll have to use a
    lowest common denominator
  * due to the small number of available colors edges of text and
    diagrams will look pixellated
  * it won't adapt to your user's reading speed

Why don't you convert your PPT to PDF instead?

Or even to HTML - I think there is an export option in powerpoint to generate an html page directly...

Or just upload to Slideshare and embed it into the website.
