anyone recommend a program for adding text to a certain number of frames w/o adding it to all the frames...like say the middle 90 frames or so...I have been told Gimp will not do this and if it does i cannot figure it out.

photoshop cs3 or imageready

Imageready, just open it up and put the text on each picture in the animation. Makes it as easy at counting to 25.

not possible on cs3...opens the image as a jpeg...cannot view the frames only the bg...if you know a way around this lemme know



how bout 90 frames...there has to be a faster way

Basically, hit Fine -> Import -> video frames to layers and type in *.*
Then open the .gif file and hit ok

Yes, you can edit .gif files in Adobe Fireworks.

Well, recently I found this trick on photoshop cs3.

To add text, without adding it to all the frame, simply close the "animation" window, and put the text layer on the actual image. Then, if you open back the "animation" window, every frame will have the text on .

The "animation" window is the window where we see all the frames etc.
