How to make gif animation fast?

Post by dfischer »

I'm trying to create a fast gif animation but I'm not sure how to do it. If the -delay is 1 how do you make it go *REALLY FAST*?

I want a superspeed gif. Thanks!

A fast animation is generally not limited by the IM delay, but more by the delay limits that most browsers/viewers put on the animation. So you really cannot make it faster than the browser will display it, even if you put -delay 0 (which is not recommended).
