  Nice, stable and effective program, not complicated with many features...
  
  I played around with it a while and have the following questions:
  
  Is it possible to make an effect going on for more than one image? I marked some images and when choosing the effect-tool it does the effect only on one image?
  
  If I have a number of pictures with different timestamps-differences, e.g. (1) 10:00 (2) 10:01 (3) 10:03, it would be nice to transfer these time-differences automatically to the time-difference between the gif-frames. In the example above this would be a delay of 1s between frame (1) and (2) and 2s between frames (2) and (3) .
  
  Having 200 jpg-images and importing all in EasyGIFAnimator, after saving the image I found out the size of all original jpg images (5,5MB) was more than 2 times smaller than created GIF (11.7MB). The created Video-files AVI (25,7MB) and SWF Flash (48,3MB) were even bigger. So my idea to archive the sequences of my webcam in a gif-file and gain some space (because compressing similar pictures should result in smaller sizes (because of fewer differences) seems not to save space. But probably this is the nature of the gif-files. (I am wondering if there is a new filetype that does a compression between the frames!?)
  
  Best regards,
  Stefan

  Depending on visual effect, it will work either on a single frame or, if it is a transition effect, it will work between two frames. You can repeat the operation to apply effect to multiple frames.
  
  I'm afraid file timestamps are not managed and I haven't heard that this is possible in any software, neither it is widely requested or used.
  
  Gif file is a specific file format, it was not designed for storing video or a lot of high-quality or large frames. It's sole purpose is allow short animations for the web (banners, buttons and misc). Compared with JPG, in GIF format, photographic high-color images weigh more it is because of format differences JPG is better for photos while GIF is better for simpler images such as text on some background or cartoons.

  For a year now I've been trying to make an animated gif of a 787-frame capture of 24+ seconds of 640 x 480 video game at 30fps. I have tried every gif animator I could find, and none of them, even Easy GIF Animator 5  Pro, were able to do it. 

  However, Easy GIF Animator 5 Pro was able to do the full 30fps at half-resolution 320 x 240, and none of the others I tried could do even that. It also did an excellent job of finding a palette that covered all the frames well, and the end-result is very smooth and looks really good. So EGA5P has earned my purchase.

  For the record, I was able to build the animated gif with almost any software if I would drop down to 10fps @ 640, or 15fps @ 320. But they just didn't look good. The one made by EGA5P has surprised me by how good it looks.

  Wow - it's still July 24th @ 10:36 PM (Utah MDT) - you guys said I had until midnight to buy - why are you cutting it off 1 1/2 hours early?  I'm ready to buy this offer - but now I can't.
