A few of questions please....
1- can individual sprites be loaded to create an animation?
2- can individual sprite positions be edited?
3- can animations be exported as a png sequence (ie: separate png frames/images).
Basically, I have a pistol animation for my FPS game (made from separate png files) but quite a few frames jump around (not centred properly). It's too difficult to manually fix using a standard image editor.
Can your software be used to reposition these frames to make the animation smooth again and then batch save/export them again as individual image files with preserved alpha transparency?
Thank you.
