Simon Brown Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) Moderators Note: This plugin may not work with newer versions of Paint.NET. An alternative plugin is available here: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/31629-animated-images/ Secure Download If you get a warning, try the unencrypted download. Here is a plugin to open and save animated GIFs/PNGs, one frame into each layer. You will have to rename the files to .agif or .apng to be imported and rename them after saving. [ I did this to avoid conflict with the built-in file handlers as animated GIFs have the same extension as normal GIFs. Paint.net can already open normal GIFs, so we can't use the standard GIF extension as paint.net's native handler would take preference. I used .agif instead. To get it to work you must rename .gif files to .agif before opening, and .agif files to .gif after saving.] If the APNGs being produced aren't small enough, try running them through APNG optimizer. Animated GIF: Animated PNG (works in Firefox and Opera): You can also show APNGs in Chrome, IE9 and Safari with this.

Blooper Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 ooh. Awesome. [Edit] Does this import each frame in a different layer?

LFC4EVER Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Problem: I think this plugin interferes with PDNs Photoshop filetype plugin. It doesn't let it save properly, when its installed, but when i removed it the Photoshop filetype plugin worked fine. :? Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆ .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::.

Simon Brown Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 All my other plugins that only import files have flags for both to avoid a bug I thought was in PDN but RB said was not. In this plugin I didn't do this as I again became doubtful that it was there and didn't want to confuse people with it letting them save and then informing them that they couldn't. Do you want me to add flags for both again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFC4EVER Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Urmm... i have no idea what flags in plugins are.. :? Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆ .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndiGo-Go Zora Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 ok, this looks really cool, but im still a newb and im not exactly sure how this should work. can you add layers and thus add more frames in the gif? can you make your own gif? can you edit multiple layers at a time in order to add effects to the gif? or am i just dreaming and getting way ahead of myself here? Edit: umm, is it even possible to open an animated gif and save it somewhere else as the same animated gif? im guessing i totally over estimated the destiny of the plugin, and that it was only meant to be able to extract specific frames from gifs. which is actually pretty cool but still, i wanted to add effects to gifs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 You can change anything and save it as an animated cursor, avi, ect. (using other plugins) but you can't save it as an animated GIF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndiGo-Go Zora Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 ^ok ill look into that. still a great plugin considering that it actually lets me make use of my extensive gif collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoltBait Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Lovely plugin. Just two issues: It doesn't prompt me to specify the delay value for the speed of the animation. and It doesn't ask me if the animation should repeat.

pyrochild Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 This has been talked about so many times, it's a wonder it took so long for someone to actually make it. Glad someone did, though.

Mike Ryan Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I am going to second BB's suggestions, or complaints. Either or Secondly, if you could possibly publish an APNG plugin that does the same thing, I would be eternally happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Brown Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 It doesn't prompt me to specify the delay value for the speed of the animation.and It doesn't ask me if the animation should repeat. I may add that into the next version, I could easily implement the latter and probably the former - I just couldn't be bothered to learn how to properly add a dialog to a FileType plugin. :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
