Pixen makes creating animations as easy as creating images. Simply select New Animation... from the File menu to get started. You can also import sprite sheets, frame sequences, animated GIFs, and animated PNGs for editing in Pixen.
Animation document windows include a film strip which shows all of the animation's frames. Here, you can create, delete, and reorder frames at will. Change the duration of a frame by double-clicking the timestamp beneath it. To start editing a frame in the canvas, simply click it.
To preview your animation, open the Preview window. Once you're happy with the result, animations can be saved as animated GIFs, PNGs, movies, frame sequences, and even sprite sheets!
