Animation - GIF does not tween

[browj2]

Using Xara DPX16, but I understand that the following does not work in more recent versions either.

I created an animation (star that moves around, changes colour, rotates and resizes - named). The exported GIF does not tween whereas the AVI does. Is this normal or a bug?

The preview animates and tweens correctly.

Thanks,

John, any chance of the design file?

you did remember to limit your tween palette to 256 colours ?

XAR animation file attached. Play the preview to see how it should work, then export to GIF to see that tweening does not work. This was brought to my attention on the Magix.info forum.

I'm using XDP 15.1 and have the same results as you. However, when exporting to .AVI (tick 'Make background transparent' in the Animations Properties/AVI Options) tweening works. You, then, can convert the animation to a .gif, either online or using an appropriate video converter/NLE app.

@Boy

Thanks for checking. As we both indicated, the animation works fine when exported to AVI but not GIF. I would expect proper tweening when exporting to GIF, otherwise I would say that this is a bug. Since I have not upgraded, I'm hoping that someone with the latest version will check this, and if it is a bug, raise a ticket about it.

Using an external program is a workaround that should not be required.
