using SixLabors.ImageSharp.Formats.Gif;
using SixLabors.ImageSharp.Metadata;

using Image image = await Image.LoadAsync("original.gif");
foreach (ImageFrame frame in image.Frames)
{
  GifFrameMetadata metaData = frame.Metadata.GetGifMetadata();
  metaData.FrameDelay = 42;
  metaData.DisposalMethod = GifDisposalMethod.RestoreToBackground;
}

await image.SaveAsync("result.gif");
