Animated GIF Options
1
Transparent Background This option will make the back-
ground transparent.
2
Auto Crop This feature optimizes the size of each frame
and the document. The Auto Crop feature will create the minimum
size needed to accommodate all of the objects in the document.
3
Interlaced The image will load into a browser a little bit at a
time. Activating this feature creates the effect of improving an
image over a slow connection.
4
Anti-aliasing Objects from the Canvas document will be
rendered with an overall softened effect.
5
Individual Palette Per Frame If selected, each GIF frame
will contain its own palette. This will create a larger GIF image;
however, this setting is suggested if you are creating complex and
colorful animations. If this option is not checked, then all frames
will have a common palette. The color palette maximum is 256 col-
ors.
6
Erase Previous Frame Each frame will be erased and the
area will be restored to the background before the next frame is dis-
played during playback.
7
Optimize frames This feature minimizes the size of a file
that will be created. We recommend this setting if you are working
with colorful GIFs or pictures. The Optimize frame setting has no
effect on simple graphics (like rectangles, ovals etc.).
8
Differential frames This option searches for the smallest
frame possible in the set that contains all of the changes from a pre-
vious frame. After the search, it creates a new rectangle which
becomes the new frame. Note: If the option Erase Previous
Frame is checked, then this particular option will be unavailable.

animated GIFs on page 14.203.
9
Infinite Loop Activating this option will cause your anima-
tion to run (loop) continuously.
Note: You may specify the number of times that your animation
will run. To do this, simply enter the number of times to loop
your animation in the Times (10 ) window.
