Gif timing question

Oh yes, I can feel your pain. Timing gifs is not funny.

If you use two canvas to have the 2MB for the single gif you have to count the time gif 1 is running (multiply the run time of one frame with the frame number). In gif 2 create an empty frame and place it on the first place (left). It has to run the whole time gif 1 is playing. In gif 1 you have to create an empty frame and place it at the end (right) which has to run the whole time gif 2 is playing.

Cross your fingers if it will work out like you planned it.

And I see, it's not working...doink.

Thanks I'll try that. Dunno why I didn't think of that. (I'm kind of dumb ^^;)

I hope your gifs will turn out the way you want.

Bah, no. It worked for a second but got out of sync somehow.

The problem with this method (two separate gifs) is that our browsers don't always load all the gifs in a photoset at exactly the same time. Sometimes your gifs will be perfectly in sync, but most of the times they won't be.

At least I got a concrete answer as to why. thank you!
