Animated Image Generator

Aim

This is a simple script to concatenate frame images, generating animation.

Short description

• With all valid image files in --target directory, a single animated image will be generated and saved as --output.
• Other valid options are:
  • --speed: How long a single frame will be shown in resulting animation(in milliseconds).
  • --output_extension: Instead of designating output option, one can simply set this to get results.{extension} file in original target directory.

Workflow

• This script reads all valid image files using glob module.
  • Valid image files are files with IMG_EXTENSIONS
  • Alpha channel will not be used, since it seems gif extension does not support it.
• Then, they are concatenated by Pillow.Image module.

Setup instructions

• The only thing to setup is to install Pillow.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Output

• Script

$ python animated_image_generator.py --target "./images" --output_extension "gif" --speed 25

• Result
