MagicViewer lets you work with single images and animations seamlessly in the
same work area. The
Animation pane automatically appears on the left of the main
window when an animation is opened or created. This pane contains the animation
toolbar that lets you play, stop, step to the previous or next frame, and edit
frame properties. It also displays a thumbnail of each frame in the animation,
where you can drag and drop one or more frames to re-order them.
Creating an Animation
You can create an animation by importing a digital camera multiburst captured
image, a group of existing image files, by inserting new frames, or
by duplicating the opened image. Once loaded in MagicViewer, you can
playback the animation, or modify the frame properties.
Optimizing the Animation
MagicViewer lets you optimize the animation to
reduce file size for fast Web download using either the Frame
differencing or Minimum bounding rectangle method.
You can also choose to use a single global color palette to
further reduce the file size. The Expand command lets
you restore the full content of each frame if you need to make changes
after applying the optimization.
Transparency
& Color Depth
You can use the Magic Wand or Rectangular selection tools to
highlight areas in the image, then crop or delete the selection to
create transparent background. MagicViewer automatically finds an unused color
in the palette to use as the transparency index, and calculates the lowest
color bit depth required when saving GIF files. So you always get the
smallest file size and the best results.
