A GIF file is a collection of frames, therefore to obtain a GIF you should create and edit each frame. Aesop can make it easier for you. The software considers each frame as an object that has a set of properties. Actually you will have to change the properties of the frame.
The first tab (General) will let you change the dimensions, delay time, frame background color, border width and colors, background gradient style and colors.
The 3D Text tab let you change the properties of text and the Shapes/Pictures tab will let you change the shape and picture properties. For every frame you will have to change these properties in order to obtain different images for every frame.
With a very intuitive interface you can introduce a lot of effects in your Gif, such as moving the antialiased 3D-text across the image. The software even uses data compression so you will obtain small size GIFs.
Pluses: the uses of data compression; intuitive interface; antialiasing effect
Drawbacks / flaws:
In conclusion: If you want to create animated GIF images, Aesop might come in handy.
