Can I combine several gifs together? I have about 43 of them... and I would like to do it programmatically.

I was looking at the photos module documentation... and I found this by the way.
Am I seeing double?

There are two add_assets under AssetCollection!

1. A simple way to combine gifs would be to get the image lists of each gif, concatenate these image lists to form a single images list and then generate a new gif from this single list.

2. It seems to be a documentation error. The second one should be remove_assets. You could file an issue regarding this.

So... I tried the first one. I have about 450 pictures that I put into 45 gifs because Pythonista crashed when I tried to make them longer. Simple solution for me, was to split it into 10 frames per gif, then combine them. It seemed simple to me, but I guess it's not. Oh well. I'll use an online program for this; I just wanted to see if I could hone my coding skills with this project. Thanks for the help, @abcabc
