Funny thing.
I have seen gifs since the Compuserve days but until today hadn't seen the need to create one .
I want to be able to do it local not the "Cloud"
If a picture is worth a thousand words then a gif should be worth 3-4 thousand.
Precision machine tolerances only here at Eaglesnest...
I'm doing the same thing. Just found this one
Did this one @adobe . Works much better.
