google chrome is the only thing i have used that makes them not slow me down too much. i tried firefox and it was great for about a week, then it just kept slowly degrading till it really wouldnt do anything

i came in here hoping there would be info on how to make them. i am pretty good at the mechanics of computers, but when it comes to art type stuff i suck. i need a simple way to just import pre-made images and set the time for how long each one stays up

I think it has to do with the gif not being optomized properly.

I'll run anyone's gifs through animation shop and optomize them if they email them to me. Maybe that'll help.
