How to batch-produce animated-GIFs in different speeds

As a little time saver, here is a program (64bit) that automates animated-GIF production with the free UnFreez (a bit hairy to control from AutoIT, hence the mouse-moves) for a dozen or so different speeds. Decompile if you need to adjust it, otherwise no AutoIT software is needed. All other prerequisites are  explained in the startup dialogue, rename the dummy output files to your liking.

Animated GIFs workflow using MS-OneNote, MS-Paint, Irfanview and UnFREEZ

  1. To keep things simple (and, at least in our work environment, free) during smaller Animated GIF projects (larger projects may warrant use of ImageMagick, scriptable image editor), you can use
    1. MS-OneNote screen clipping (configured right, it seems the fastest way to collect source material)
    2. Update: I recommend now screenshotcaptor instead, if you do screenshot projects more than  occasionally.  MS-Paint (or pretty much any image editor) to mark up your images
    3. IrfanView to batch convert to GIF: image image image
    4. UnFreez to easily create animated GIFs in differing speeds: imageimage, which can be automated.
