[Pro] Animated GIF

Freeway
1

I am in need of some simple animation on my site. I will be trying an animated GIF, supposing that I can make one with the tools I have.

I suppose that such a thing has to be rectangular, correct?

Is there a way to have it play only once?

In a CSS layered design, can it run behind an HTML layer?

This will be greyscale and I am hoping it can be relatively small.

I am thinking of making the frames in Omnigraffle and the composition in GraphicConvertor.

Thanks.

It has to be in a rectangular container but with the use of transparency can appear to be any shape.

Yes

Yes

Yes - typically these are only a few k

There are many options available - some Free. GifBuilder is one GifBuilder

PShop can do it as can many of the other Illustration and Image editing programmes.
