ImageMagick Animation Bug- When I split the frames of this image at Arbor's ImageMagick only the first frame is of the whole image of the cow. The rest of the images are of the head only.

I think that ImageMagick only picks up the pixels that change in frames after the first frame? This causes many problems with most animations. If you do any image manipulations at all inside of ImageMagick. The cows head only frames will jump all over the place because they are much smaller in width and height than the base image. They also slightly vary in size.

Exact steps taken at Arbor ImageMagick.

I enter the studio by pasting the URL

I go directly to output. I mark the radio dial button for single under storage type.

I output.

I also get the exact same results using Net4TV ImageMagick. Which is a older version of the Magic Studio. This is a old problem with animation many years of versions back. Perhaps from the beginning? Might have started with the compression challenges with the gif format.

Here are the GiftWorks split frames results:

The image 17999.gif of 8 frames in this index the frames were split by using

www.gifworks.com

Each of the frames is of the whole image of the cow, body and head.

I tried the coalesce method by using the Arbor Magic Studio Interface Not by using the command line method. I could not find the adjoin function in the studio. Am I missing it? Or is not part of the Magic Studio Interface at this time? So I used the "Append" tiling left to right. That isn't right either. I think that the coalease in the Magic Studio Interface in not functioning or does not function the way it does in a command line. Examples in this index of both.

Why? Why did I not use the command Line? Because the Magic Studio Interface is what all MSNTV / WebTV users can use. Many do not have the ability to write scripts.

I do have that ability tho. I am on the dedicated Arbor server. We have installed the most updated ImageMagick Modules available I believe?
