GIFBuilder

GIFBuilder for OSX is for you if you want to add animation to your Web site. Animated GIF files are the way to go, particularly for those less accomplished in animation, and very few programs make creating animated GIFs easier than GifBuilder. This scriptable utility offers an intuitive, drag-and-drop interface that supports many different file types, including PICT, TIFF, Photoshop (including layers), QuickTime movie, PIC, and of course GIF files. What's more, GifBuilder lets you control pixel depth, the color palette, dithering, size, interlacing, transparency, interframe delay, disposal method, frames position, and looping. If these terms sound confusing, don't worry: easy-to-follow instructions are included, as is a sample animation.

• Has a slightly more modern interface and is compatible with Mac OS X.
