I need to create an animated image file that cycles through two or three images in a closed loop. What software can I use for this?
I have Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon 64-bit.
Thanks for any direction on this.

GIMP is how I created my current animated avatar, and is likely how I will do the next one I'll eventually make.

Thanks. It's nice to know GIMP can do complex ones.

You should also be able to do this directly from the command line.
Place all the images into a folder and run something like:
-delay will be the delay between frames in milliseconds.
-loop 0 will determine how many times it loops (0 for continuous)
And then obviously change *.jpg to whatever format your source images are in.
And if you are trying to make an animated gif from a video file you can use ffmpeg.
