Playing Gifs in a Sequence

Support

Hey all, I’m a total noob at this sort of stuff but I’ve been having a lot of fun learning how to use this software. I’ve run into an issue that I’ve not been able to solve by looking through the documentation though.

On wake, I play an animated gif of 25 frames, and then I would like a second animated gif to take over. I’ve got both gifs inserted and aligned but I can’t figure out how to get one to play after the other.

I assume it’s something to do with transparency? But I can’t find an expression to ‘0 Transparency, then after 1 second 100 Transparency’ anywhere.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Unfortunately, you can’t change the transparency of gifs.

What you can do is use the interpAccel tag in the X position field to make the first gif play during the first 1 second and then move it off screen… then make it so the 2nd gif is moved from off screen to on screen after 1 second.

Something like:
LAYER 1
X:
(-160+(interpAccel(#DWE#,0,1.6,5)*+320))
LAYER 2
X:
160

If you need help, let me know. Hope this helps!

Very helpful! I was barking right up the wrong tree then. After playing with what you suggested I’ve got a working solution, thank you very much.
