Thumbnail quality

[Jenn]

I want to thank trez for taking a look but is someone has an idea of how I could possibly fix this, I will be greatful.

Here is my site

The animated thumbnails is the issue I'm having. It can't be the size of the thumbnails because the Blue Tink is bigger then the football smileys and that is fine.

I am clueless as what the problem could be.

I am using ImageMagick.

Thanks for all the help.
I'm only one more step away from getting this going and off....

Any ideas? I'm using Imagemagick, I also tried GD and that just gives a static image.

Thanks

Could anyone maybe shed some light on this? Is it hopeless?

Here are the settings I have set.

Using Imagemagick
Thumbnail size in Pixels: 100
Thumbnail quality: between 75-100 (I tried various settings with same result)
Max. thumbnail size in KB: 100
Max. width of thumbnail in pixel: 300
Max. heigth of thumbnail in pixel: 300

The tink image is actually bigger then the smiley (290x406 108KB)
Smiley (110x110 32KB)

I'm stumped.

seems like it is only capturing the first frame of the gif, maybe the second as well.
That would explain why the others didn't work. Looks like the tink is probably only 2 frames and the other are 3 or more.

I dont know anything about Imagemagick, but can you change the setting for quality to 100% for thumbnails and see if that makes a difference?
Only thing I can think of, have no other ideas why.

for what do you need animated thumbnails :

@ om6acw: The thumbnails are animated because the image itself is animated.


@ CeJay: The tink is 4 frames and the football smiley is 10. If you are referring to the quality in the admin panel, I have set it at different settings from 75% all the way to 100% and it doenst make a difference.

[CeJay]

thats what I meant, sorry only suggestion I could think of.

Tink is 4 frames? wow....thought it was only 2 by looking at it.

@ om6acw: The thumbnails are animated because the image itself is animated.

thats ok, but its easer put some mark close to the thumbnail with something like "behind this thumbnail is animation" or created one category just for animated things.
but maybe I am wrong....

I do have a category for just animations. I could always use the GD Bibliothek one, it does make the thumbnail a static image, but I really don't want that. If I have to then ok, guess I wont get around that.

Weird though. Wondering if someone can upload it to their gallery and see if it does the same. I couldnt tell if anything were wrong with the file itself when I looked at the frames.

Thanks for your help guys...Weird one for sure.
