Thanks! Just one little bug: The number of iterations needs to be increased by 1 do get the correct duration.
Unfortunately the word "iterations" is ambiguous. Netscape, Firefox, and ImageMagick interpret it (as commonly used
by computer programmers) to mean "number of times to play" while Chrome ...

This should do it. Unix syntax

# create animation with 4 frames, delay 50 and iterations 8
convert -delay 50 rose: rose: rose: rose: -loop 8 rose.gif

# get duration
convert -delay 50 rose: rose: rose: rose: -loop 8 rose.gif
iterations=`convert rose.gif[0] -verbose info: | sed -n 's ...

Gnah... found the problem: My brain.

Solution: Iterations + 1. Because the iteration defines the number of replays, not the number of plays.

Hello,

I have a gif with the following details:
Iterations: 2
Number of Frames: 12
Each frame with following delays:
Delay: 50x100
Scene: 0 of 12

Delay: 50x100
Scene: 1 of 12

Delay: 50x100
Scene: 2 of 12

Delay: 50x100
Scene: 3 of 12

Delay: 50x100
Scene: 4 of 12

Delay: 100x100
Scene ...

convert xc: xc:black -loop 99 x.gif
identify -verbose x.gif | cGrep /i- /sIterations
This gives me only the number of iterations...which can't even be accessed via an variable. :/ I dont know how I could continue here to get the final duration.

What were you looking for?
For the time, a gif animation needs to be finished, inclusive all loops.
So the time can be 0 seconds, n seconds or infinite.

but googling for "gif duration" gives links to several applications that probably do what you want.
Well, can you give me an example? As I ...

Hello,

thanks for your answer. Sadly, exiftool doesn't consider the iteration of a gif.

I tried the following command to get at least the image time delay for each frame:

identify -verbose -format "Frame %s: %Tcs\n" 31_de_bf_gif_200x200.gif
In -verbose, I also found the information "Iterations ...

Hello,

I was searching for an answer all over the internet and couldn't find any. So I will ask the question by myself:

Is it possible to determine the animation length of a GIF?

I could not find a command for that. I know that I can't just determine a framerate and count the frames to get the ...
