Starting with 
the first frame.

frames are in. In the example above you would you would 
enter: http://whatever.com/images/AniGif/ 
NOTE: Be sure that you end the URL with a / or it won't 
work. 
4) You will now see the first frame of the animation on the 
screen. Click on "output" 
5) For Format: choose GIF 
6) For Storage Type: choose Multiple Images per File 
7) Scroll down to Delay: Here is where you will set the 
speed for the animation. 1/100th is the fastest. Change the 
one to a higher number to slow it down, like 5/100th or 
25/100th Or any number higher than one. NOTE: If you don't 
like the speed you set, then don't worry you can always hit 
"back" and try a different one. 
8) Scroll down to Loop: and type 0 
NOTE: That is a zero if you can't tell. 
9) Scroll back up and click where it says "Press to output 
images" 
10) You will now see you animation, and it is ready to 
transload.
