Hello,

I'm trying to capture looped .gifs using PICO-8. It seems that the .gif exports always results in having one frame less than anticipated. For example, I end up with 239 frames when gif_len in config.txt is set to 8 and 479 when gif_len is set to 16. Is it that the grabber strictly cuts off after the specified amount of time and PICO-8 runs slightly slower than 30 FPS?

Anyway, it'd be super useful if the gif_len could be specified in a number of frames rather than a number of seconds. Please, is there any way of doing that?

Cheers,
Adam

From the Manual:
"The gif format can not match 30fps exactly, so PICO-8 instead uses the closest match: 33.3fps."

I am aware of that part. But that would not explain the difference of one frame. I think it simply means that whatever animation acquired is sped up by some 10%.
