Download the trial version of Adobe After Effects.

Giffy - {currently the 5th one down} = can create transparent, non-transparent, interlaced, and non-interlaced .gifs == run each frame through Giffy and pick the color to be transparent == basically means you want the background and any other section to be transparent to be the same color and a color not used on the rest of the .gif

MSGifanimator = put the .gif frames together to make an animated .gif

Irfanview - extremely useful freeware graphics viewer that can also extract the frames from animated .gifs and .avis.

I need area based transparency... Consider a landscape with animated river... I hav2mak the land transparent

so you just want to keep the river?

Yes u got it right but how can i get that

1o1z u dont no nethin i wis i cud tak al ur karmas away

You can always take it to GifWorks which is an online gif editing tool.

Wish the edit function would stay in place...Anyway.....Not sure if it'll do what you want since I can't see what your trying to edit though.

open the animated in Irafanview

extract the frames

edit the frames

put them together

if you're gonna use it for desktopx, .gifs don't work

Is that supposed to be English? You can use full words here as it is easier for people to respond to your requests for assistance.

Thanks Hankers i will keep that in mind from this time onwards

hehehe 1o1z tell me

glad somebody was able to tell you.

No this is still unanswered possibly due to my stylish english but you know what i need.
I want to edit all frames at once. May be a gif mask type of thing but i dont know if there exists or not such masks.

Adobe Flash seems to be the only thing even capable of what you want as far as I know. Name all your files you want animated sequentially, import one of them and it will ask if you want to import the others, it should automatically place one per frame. Then create a new layer and designate it as the mask for you main layer, paint your mask in, extend the frame of the mask layer to the end of the animation. And export as GIF. Should do the the trick.

Thanks i will try it....u mean Adobe Flash cs3? will Macromedia Flash 5 or Swish Max2 do it?
Also tell me an easy way to transform gif to exe( flash presenter exe )... with transparent background and borderless window?

uh any flash with layer masks should do, I still use Macromedia Flash MX. Adobe Flash can do it too, I just don't care for the interface. I believe flash is capable of making a sort of like widget with now border and has transparency as an executable, but I'm not sure how to do this.
