Hi all, I want to create an animation and export it in a gif file. I am able to export animation in .swf etc. formats but when I tried to export it in gif, it gives me a static picture. gif=Animate[Plot[Sin[a + x], {x, 0, 10}], {a, 0, 10}] I want to export it in a gif file. Export["sin.gif",gif]…

One way to do it is replace “Animate” with “Table”. (But doing it that way the control for “a” will not appear.)

Can you please write down the code? If I can not control the variation of “a”, how can it be animated then?

The Table command creates a list of images. When exporting to “sin.gif” Mathematica sees the “.gif” extension and then knows to create an animated gif from that list of images. gif = Table[Plot[Sin[a + x], {x, 0, 10}], {a, 0, 10}]; Export["sin.gif", gif]

Thank you so much. This is the exact animated gif file I wanted. sincerely, Suvadip

Can you tell me how to slow and fast the animation? Because the gif file I have created, is really fast. I want to slow it down.

Hi Suvadip this is a good question! I would be interested in an answer as well. When I had that problem some time ago, the only solution for me was to adjust the speed of the animation with the help of a regular image manipulation program (e.g. gimp). Henrik

Hi Nasser, thank you for your remark! But I tried this long time ago and I found no way to make this work on Linux … Here I see the only possibility for creating animated gifs in exporting a list of single images. Henrik

actually what I do to make animated gif files from Manipulate is simply use LICEcap (free). I simply run Manipulate as is, and record it from the screen using LICEcap. Hit the stop button when done recording. It saves the recording as animated gif file. Very simple and no code changes is needed in t…

For slowing or speeding the animation one can use the “DisplayDurations” option for Export (even though the documentation only mentions this for Import): (* Export with each frame displaying for 1 second *) gif = Table[Plot[Sin[a + x], {x, 0, 10}], {a, 0, 10}]; Export["sin1second.gif", gif, "Displa…
