I would like to know if anyone can suggest some good quality software that can create animated gifs. I have looked at some but they lack text transitions such as moving text, fading text, etc... I wish to use this software to create 468x60 and 125x125 banners. Can anyone recommend a software product?
You can use Adobe Photoshop to create good gif. Place animated movement in different layer and use windows/Timeline to create animation and save as .gif. OR Use adobe Flash to create animation. Use kyeframe based animation style to animate and publish as .gif. Note in order to get the animation work all your animation should be done in main timeline. Hope it helps.
I always do animation gif banners using photoshop. here is the images I done www.bannerdesignwork.com/portfolio.html
Use Aurora 3d logo Maker For creating gif animation. It was better to make all kind 3D Text and logo animations. Also you can create banner animations. If you have a flash knowledge use Flash for Gif Animations. Because Flash is a Vector based software. So you can create a Quality animations.
like i suggested i use 2 software 1) jasc 2) flash cs6 if you want to create in gif with good quality animation use jasc and if you want to create awesome animations with your directions and ideas use flash cs6
