How do you resize an animated GIF file?

[Cyrusbales]

I've got an animated GIF file about 720x576 pixels, I want to resize it, and have tried Irfanview and suchlike, and cannot resize it without losing all the information and ending up with a black frame.

Any thoughts?

You can open it in Photoshop/Paint Shop Pro/Gimp and resize the frames that way, or get someone to do it for you. There's no good way I know of to just plug it into a program and have it come out a different size (though with PS or whatever it will only take a few minutes, it's not like it's hard).

Image->Scale Image set size and click resize. Then save.

anybody know a good program to make GIFS? also is there a way to crop more than one image at the same time?

^Why would you want to crop two images at the same time?

well i took some screenshots from a music video, but the person was in the middle and he looked to small, so i wanted to crop them all so they can be in sync

Any of the programs I mentioned (Photoshop et al.) that use layers can crop the entire image at once, with all the frames on top of one another as layers.

Does Irfanview work?

Oh. I think you can use GIF Animator for that. I did the same thing already when doing avatars from movie trailers.
