Issue Summary
Is there a way to resize and maintaining the animation in a GIF file? Is this an issue of the underlaying graphic library or is it the PHP coding that removes the animation (only one frame)?
Comments
#1
Me too need this.
#2
I actually found this issue because was looking for something to remove animation. Current imagecache.module used in conjunction with ImageMagick preserves animation in GIF files during scaling.
The posted of this issue likes that. I'd like to see a configurable option to remove animation (from profile pictures for example).

Would be nice to have an option to preserve or destroy animation on process
Would there likely be any issues swapping between the two graphic libraries?
Be nice to be able to support animated GIFs

I also need to freeze the animation in resizing, using only the first frame of the gif for thumbnails.
#6
This issues is open for about 9 months without any result. Is there really no way to accomplish this?
#7
The best solution to stop animation would be adding an a new action that converts the gif into a static format, like jpg. Since image magick already preserves animation of gifs by default, that would be the only solution necessary for this problem.
Can we get a convert to .jpg action please?
#8
Converting to jpeg is already supported in https://drupal.org/project/imagecache_actions.
Since using ImageMagick supports animation, and imagecache_actions supports converting to a motion-free format, I am marking the issue as closed.
