Saving an animation

You can save a created animation to a file as follows.

Overwrite the file that is being edited

1. Select "File"->Save" on the menu.

=> The file is saved.
If you have not yet assigned your animation a file name, a dialog box for specifying a file name will appear. Enter a folder name and a name to be assigned to the file.

Specify a new file name

1. Select "File"->"Save As" on the menu.

=> A dialog box for specifying a file name appears.

2. In this dialog box, specify a folder and a name to be assigned to the file.

=> The file is saved.

By saving your animation into a file, you can subsequently open it with another application.

Caution! The following information cannot be saved into a file. Note, therefore, that you will no longer be able to reference it if you close a file and subsequently open it.

Image data existing before enlarging or reducing this image (source file data)

The part of an image that extends beyond the edges of the screen.

Name of a frame (name of an inserted file, "Transition", etc.)

Exact number of colors in a palette
The number of colors in a palette is fixed to 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256. If you save a palette with any other number of colors, the number will be automatically incremented. For example, a palette with 70 colors is incremented to 128 colors and a palette with 230 colors is incremented to 256 colors upon being saved.
