I am working on a photo editor <a href="https://www.Photopea.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.Photopea.com</a> and I added the GIF capability some time ago :)<p>Simply put, each layer, whose name starts with "_a_", defines a frame. Layers with other names are visible in all frames.<p>An example: go here <a href="http://photopea.com#iL9sRwekM" rel="nofollow">http://photopea.com#iL9sRwekM</a> and press File - Export As - GIF :)
I wanted to edit gifs, frame by frame like in stop motion movies, so I made this app that allows you to build and animate gifs without the overhead of photoshop. It splits a premade gif into frames then allows you to edit these frames one at a time directly on the app
Nice work. Something I've wanted before, but I'm a little confused by the UX.<p>I upload a gif, select a frame, modify it. But then I seem to only be able to add it to the end of the gif?<p>Changes are not made to the existing frame.<p>And I don't seem to be able to change the order of frames (ie: move the modified frame to it's original position).<p>I recently used this tool (<a href="https://ezgif.com/add-text" rel="nofollow">https://ezgif.com/add-text</a>), which got the job done. The most useful feature on it was the capability to set "x frame to x frame". ie: add text from frame 25 - end or 25 - 40.<p>The combination of your layers feature, plus frame x to x, would make this quite productive.
This is quite similar to <a href="https://giflr.com/" rel="nofollow">https://giflr.com/</a> – a web app I developed in 2014.<p>Liking the way you can build animations by adding one frame at a time and preserving what you drew on the previous frame.<p>I was a bit confused about how to select and edit frames after having uploaded a GIF to edit it.
This brings back so many good memories.<p>I remember when AIM was a hyper-popular thing with my generation (Millennial) in the early 2000s. The communities around buddy icons all passed around a pirated copy of Jasc Animation Shop to create buddy icons. So many great things were made with that piece of software. It just worked and was so easy to use that 10-year-olds could pick it up and go.
Nice work but I'am not able to zoom in on the canvas? E.g. this one, everything is to small to do any meaningful editing:<p><a href="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/8c/48/5f/8c485f66cc5831d30ee2c20cc3865c75.gif" rel="nofollow">https://i.pinimg.com/originals/8c/48/5f/8c485f66cc5831d30ee2...</a>
This is excellent. Thanks, bookmarked!<p>Handy to combine with peek (<a href="https://github.com/phw/peek" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/phw/peek</a>) which does a good job of recording gifs.
Ahem. Photoshop* vibes. While the tool has utility it falls nowhere near the "photoshop vibes" category. I understand it's all marketing but come on man...
