We live is a world of fast food and instant messaging and I want it NOW! lol. ! Someone wrote to me asking me why some of my gifs don't move. As it turns out this person (who will remain unnamed in hopes of sparing them of any additional grief) was a little impatient and uses an older, slower computer. Like many others unfamiliar with how a gif image works expected my gifs to jump into motion immediately after they are displayed on the page. Well they don't....and here's why:
A GIF image (graphics interchange format) is made up of several pictures bound together which your computer plays in a sequence. In order for your computer to show you a moving image (in this format) your computer has to view each frame in the file. The file can contain 2 frames, or sometimes hundreds. Your computer must also read the data stored in the file that tells your computer how fast to run. to repeat forever, and other technical shit. Simply put, this takes time, folks. Since I like a larger pictures and add animated effects that require numerous frames for smooth movement most of my gif image files end up being larger than the average gif image. MUCH larger. This creates more work for Mr. Computer resulting in longer loading time and on slower computers jerky movements rather than steady movement when the image "plays" . As far as I know there are only 3 remedies for this. First try to be a little patient. Second: I've heard it helps to close any windows you have open that are not being used. And third: Get a faster computer. lol.
