Basic Animation Manipulation

Objects can be moved between multiple frames. The number of frames you can create depends on your plan: on the Basic plan it is limited by the project's file size (typically around 50–70 frames), and on the Starter plan it is up to 10 frames. Each frame can last from 0.1 to 5 seconds.
The created animation can be output as a movie file or an animated GIF.

Create a project

To create an animation project, select "Animation" from the list menu and then create a new project.

The Basic plan allows you to create animations from a static board scene.

Animation Controller

You can add, delete, and move frames, set frame times, and play, stop, and pause animations.

Selecting a frame to edit

Selecting a frame allows you to edit the contents of that frame. You can move one frame at a time with or on the controller.

Adding and Deleting Frames

Frames are added by clicking the button, which duplicates the currently displayed frame. The animation is created by repeatedly adding frames and moving objects within the added frames.
Clicking the button will delete the currently displayed frame.

Swapping Frames

Clicking the button will swap the current frame with the previous one. Also, clicking the button will swap the current frame with the one after it.

Set animation duration per frame

Tacticalista's animation creation allows you to set a duration for each frame. The time can be set from 0.1 to 5 seconds. The frame duration is set with the slider on the controller. The approximate duration of each frame is also displayed.

Playback of animation

The following playback method is used to check the animation.

• Clicking will play the animation from the current frame position to the end.
• Clicking will play the animation for the current frame.
• Clicking will play the next frame of animation.

Range of objects to be added

When adding a new object, you can specify a range of frames to be added. The ranges that can be specified are as follows

• Current frame only
• From the first frame to the current frame
• From the current frame to the last frame
• Everything from the first frame to the last frame.

When deleting an object, a dialog box appears to select the range of frames to be deleted.
