GIF to Flash Converter1.6

A particular type of animations managed to capture the attention of the multimedia part of the Internet. This type is GIF, and it’s merely a set of images, each representing a frame, with the advantage of being lightweight, and it’s easy to work with online. Another is SWF, and if you need this one instead, you can use applications like Gif To Flash Converter.

Lightweight and easy to use

The visual design of the application is a custom-made interface that doesn’t quite make it stand out from the crowd, but is intuitive enough to be quickly understood even by inexperienced individuals. Most of the space is the preview area, while other sections are taken up by playback controls, and general output settings.Just as the name suggests, the main target here is the GIF file format. Unfortunately, you need to rely on the built-in browse dialog, because dragging them over the main window has no effect. What’s more, batch processing is out of the question, so you need to take the time to process one file at a time.

Set frame rate and output size

In any case, loading a file leaves it idle, giving you the chance to take a look at configurations and general details. You can hit the Start button for playback, but it stops, with no option to enable loop. In case you’re interested in a specific frame, there’s a dedicated input field you can use to quickly jump there.However, even if you do this, it’s only for preview purposes, because there aren’t any built-in editing options. In fact, all options you can manage are related to the output file, and aren’t that abundant either. Output frame rate can be specified, as well as new resolution settings either by selecting from several presets, or manually writing down values.

In conclusion

All in all, conversion has become a common thing nowadays, especially given the variety of formats for one particular type of info.However, Gif To Flash Converter feels a little rough around the edges, coming with a poor set of features overall. There’s no editing involved, while lack of support for batch processing has a considerable impact on practicality.
