5. Working with PhotoLine / 5.7 Creating Images For The Web
5.7.4 Animated GIFs
In PhotoLine, there are two ways to create animations for the web:
- Classic layer-based animations (Chapter 4.30).
- As with a flipbook, each layer represents a frame of the animation.
However, the layer does not have to contain the entire frame, but can
also modify only a part of the animation.
- The Dynamic Animation (chapter 7.9.1)
- The layers form only the components, from which the animation is put
together. The actual animation consists of the layers and commands,
when and how long a layer is displayed in the animation and how it
should change during this time (position, size, rotation, opacity).
Both animation types can be saved as GIF, PNG and WebP.
To further process an animation in another program that does not (correctly)
support the above file types, the frames of the animation can also be
exported as separate files (chapter 7.9.2).
