Sony Vegas and Media Studio Yep, I know they're not related, but they both fall in the Premiere Alternative bracket in my humble opinion! Post here for Ulead Media Studio or Vegas video problems or pointers...

Question Exporting video as animated GIF? Anyone?

Hi everyone,

I've got a video of a fireball explosion at night. I've used chroma key to take out the black sky, leaving me with just the fireball. Pretty good so far!

I want to export this short clip as an animated gif (with alpha transparency) so that I can use it in my swishmax project.

Has anyone created a plugin or something that allows you to do this?

Or do you know of any good software that will convert a movie file into animated gif retaining transparency?

And also, if you are saving a video file and want to keep alpha transparency with it, which format should you use?

Many thanks!

-Just remembered, I wanted to add, the advantage of being able to export directly to animated gif is that you won't need to create and apply transparency twice, unlike if you used a third party avi->gif programme.
