New Project Proposal

Hi, do you remember when I asked about a possible project for creating gifs (encoding), a few months ago?

Are you interested? There is no reliable source for gif creating in .Net, the only ones are Bumpkit and Ngif (one uses bad quality and other is full of bugs and slow).

I can actively help you if you need, but I dont have the knowledge to do it alone.

The main idea is this:

  • Should accept images (bmp, png, jpg), BitmapSources or Streams as input.
  • Custom frame sizes, using (x, y, width, heigh), this is allowed by the gif specification.
  • Variable frame rate.
  • Transparency (Replaces the unchanged pixel with a dummy color).
  • Progression report, in %.
  • Number of colors, from 255 to 2 colors (+ 1 transparent/dummy color), very important!.

PS: I also have a method that analizes the list of frames and cuts + paints the unchanged pixels to reduce the file size.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, btw.

To be honest, I'm not interested in working on this, mostly because it's not something I need, and I don't have the time to work on something I don't need 😉

If you want to do it anyway, feel free to reuse some code from WpfAnimatedGif or XamlAnimatedGif.
