| I'm looking for a way to use VirtualDub's Save Animated GIF feature from a script. Is there any way to accomplish this? I can create a script that will load the target AVI, but there does not seem to be any variables that allow this export to happen. VirtualDub.SaveImageSequence gets close, saving a series of pngs tgas or jpgs, but I would like to export a single animated GIF. I assume because the GUI can do it, that the command line should be able to as well. Am I just missing something? Just for fun I tried VirtualDub.SaveAnimatedGIF and VirtualDub.SaveAnimatedGif but no dice |

| Nope, I'm afraid in current versions the Save Animated GIF command is not scriptable. I'll add it to the request list. |

| I don't suppose anyone knows of a way to do this via the command line using any other program? |

| Autoit can press Vdub keys for you... or use a keyboard macro program. |

| Wasn't this ability added in the latest version? I've tried using it like so: VirtualDub.video.SaveAnimatedGIF(...) but it doesn't work. Anybody have an example of the correct way to use SaveAnimatedGIF? |

| This is only in the 1.9.X dev version from the testing forum that hasn't been officially released yet. The first argument is the filename, and the second argument is the mode (from the dialog). |
