Download Imagemagick from http://www.imagemagick.org/ , install it.

Save each frame (e.g. cape_0.png, cape_6.png, etc.).
Run the command:

ga-> !convert -delay 60 cape_0.png cape_6.png cape_12.png cape_18.png
-delay 250 cape_24.png cape.gif

This will create an animated gif (cape.gif) made up of 5 frames, last of
which having a longer delay (250ms).
