import image sequence

[handrawn]

I think having made the animation aeron wants to export each frame in a numbered sequence, each frame as a seperate alpha PNG, quite normal in animation but xara is not really that kind of animation program

so again, you can't do that directly from the frames - but presumably you have the edited images you placed in each frame so you could export these in one go from a non-animation document by publishing [I think - acorn will know] - but you'd have to name each one

handrawn is right, the desired output is a sequence of separate png images with transparency which will be used to create an animation in some software which is being coded.

For this to work, you need a fairly recent version.

• Drop all images onto a web page.
• Check the order is right in the Page and Layer gallery.
• Select all:
  
  • Web Properties > Image > Web image type: set to PNG.
  • Web Properties > Image > Image Filename: set to image.
  • Apply.
  
  
• Export Website to a local folder - lets call it Animation on drive G:\.
• Open G:\Animation\index_htm_files\ folder.
• Copy out all PNG images with filenames image.png, image-1.png, image-2.png, ...
  
  • If you ticked Retina, use image@2x.png, image-1@2x.png, image-2@2x.png, ...
  • If you need all to be numbered from one, add in a dummy image as the first one and discard it (image.png / image@2x.png).

This won't be possible if you are still on version 7 (your TG Profile).

I knew you would know how to do it from a page

It sounds like I need to upgrade. Will using this method require to save the output files individually or will the sequence be saved all at once?
