Changing the MS Time for several Frames

GIMP Version: 2.6.11
Operating System: Windows
OS Version: Vista
GIMP Experience: Beginner Level

Animations:

Would like to be able to change the MS time for several frames to the same (200ms).
How can I select all of them or 70% of them to change to the same MS time, so I don't have to do each separately one by one. Shift key doesn't work for that. (Gimp 2.6)

I have been changing each frame one by one (75 of them), then the time is just a little too fast so I change all of them again one by one. And then again it's too fast so I start all over again... one by one.

I know that you can set all frames to the same MS time when you "save as" but I don't want to save each time just to do that. And if I only want 70% frames changed then that won't help.

Is there a way to do it... or a script for this?

Please and thankyou.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-to ... s/scripts/

and download retime-linked-layers-0.0.py

Requires python support... as name implies, will apply new time to all linked layers.

Oh wow thankyou very much ofnuts ! That script will be soooo useful and help so much.

So you wrote it? If so then super thankyou very much for writing it.
I am not using python yet because of the difficulty installing it but may in the future. So I downloaded it for the future.(even though it doesn't show as downloaded. downloaded shows as 0).

If anyone knows of a script-fu of the same thing please let me know. Thankyou.

As far as i know this remains the one and only filter that will change linked layers millisecond times per frame.

Python is really not that hard to install.And it is well worth the effort.

Thanks for letting me know Rod it's the only script available. Definitely a good reason to install python.
One day.

Took me all of 10 minutes...

Python isn't that difficult to install... now of course my scripts are designed for Python-teasing

@Bar...If you use this tute for installing Python, you shouldn't have any problems. It is well written and easy to follow, (even for me- :lol

.)

Installing Python

That may be true for layers that are linked, but there is a script that will change the delays for layers based on their visibility (and you don't need to install Python).

saulgoode !

OMG that's exactly what I wanted and it works perfectly. You have saved me sooo much time and no more tedious monotonous one-by-one timechange.
Inside the code your name is in it so I am asuming you are the writer of it.
Thankyou very much saulgoode. As in thankyou thankyou thankyou!

molly !
Thanks! Yes it is well written and easy to follow by Rod... but so many steps. Will eventually install python.
