Hey there, I bought both editors :) I've been using Spritepad for a few days and I like it, but I cannot for the life of me find a  way to add frames to an animation. I have all the frames I need in the spritesheet, but copy/paste does not work. Help please....

Hi, thanks for supporting the projects, much appreciated!

Ok, animations in SpritePad are all based on ranges (ie. A to B) of items in the sprite or tile sheet.

nb. sprite animations and tile animations are handled by different forms.

You can select a range of images using the LEFT mouse button without (then with) the SHIFT key held down.

Then click "Create animation from selection" from the toolbar or menu (the sprite/tile sheet form must be active).

Alternatively you can just use the From/To controls on the animation form to set desired frames.

Playback speed etc etc are all handled by the animator form.

I hope that helps.

oh ok I was missing the button "Create animation from selection" from the toolbar or menu !! Because it is not there all the time grayed out, it just appears when it is useable and I did not notice it. Thanks, everything else makes perfect sense and I’m enjoying making animations already!!

Right right, the option to create an animation will only be available if animations are enabled in the project.

I might change this so it gives the option to enable animations when it's clicked.

Anyway, glad you enjoying it! updates coming soon hopefully, stay tuned :)
