Warning: they have been created on the assumption that you know what you need to do - e.g. move a layer along a path - and for workflows where animation frames are individual images (i.e. GIF or APNG/MNG would be considered weird there). Docs are at git.gnome.org/browse/gimp-gap/tree/docs/reference/txt and you will read them if you want to use GAP effectively. | |

@Alinium No, GIMP is absolutely not the best tool for animations. However, when you get the hang of it, it is quite simple: (1) Create each frame as a layer, (2) make sure that each layer's name end with ` (?ms)` where ? is the number of milliseconds to show that particular frame. Also, there is GAP.
