I need a fairly simple gif animation program for OS X. Needs to be free.

i know if you have a sequece of images you can make a .gif or .mov using quicktime. and vice versa, using a .mov or a .gif to get an image sequence.

i need to time them spicifcaly to sync with a song. I will be using it to make ytmnd's

Yep, I'm also looking for an app. Animation Shop Pro style. Doesn't matter if it's not free. Any recommendations?

You know. I think I will just do it in flash and export a gif.

But im still looking for an app.

Fireworks and ImageReady will do it, obviously there kind of free...

But seriously, just use flash, swf is way better than gif.
Why the gif may I ask?

ytmnd.com

gif's that sync with sound. hilarity ensues.

Use CrossOver and Animation Shop Pro...the closest you can get to animation shop pro (btw...my fav animator)

A free option is appreciated.

I will just try animation shop with crossover

NOOOOOOOO

i just made a myspace pic (animation gif) witht he gimp! i just made evrything a separate layer, saved as a gif, it asked if i wanted it to be animation, and i could time how fast it went by milliseconds.

check out the pic at myspace.com/rememberwhatever2005

I just used Flash. worked pretty well
