which program you use for making animate banner in gif format?
which program has the most special effect ?

 

The one I used before is SWishMax..mixed with ULead 9

 

any other program?

 

Adobe Imageready. Probably the best if you know how to use it.

 

If you have Adobe Photoshop CS3, everything you need is right there.

 

I have image ready. It's helpfull when it comes to animating.

 

you may use adobe flash, then export the movie in gif format, you may also modifiy the file compression ,object transparency, scaling option and animation loops.

 

Make it in Photoshop then animate it in ImageReady. Although you can animate in Photoshop as well

 

I use Photoshop and Imageready, too, but I hate .gif because of the colors - too less.

I have it but I still can't figured out how to use it.

 

I use Adobe Photoshop for the design and Adobe Imageready for the animation...

 

Adobe Imageready is included in the Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended version.

 

Imageready would be your best bet if you can afford it

 

Photoshop CS3 ImageReady, but you can do it in Fireworks as well. You can also create it in Flash (if it is simple) and rasterize it.

 

You can used Macromedia Flash and save or export your work as a GIF but maybe it's better if you will create an optimized SWF file rather than gif because GIF's has less power when it comes to color...Macromedia Flash has some custom effects that you can use...some motion tweening or frame by frame animation and you can do a magnificent banner which is more professional looking...

 

Adobe (Macromedia) FireWroks is good

 

Imageready is dead. If you want to use it you must have photoshop CS2.

You can create animated gif in photoshop or firework

 

I'm using Photoshop CS3 or maybe you want something like Image Ready
