PM Animation 1.0.17

PM Animation is a 2D animation software for bitmap images. PM Animation offers an innovative and very simple way to generate a frame based animation.

The design of the simple user interface and versatile functions allow users to create an animation in a few mouse clicks.  The animation created through PM Animation can be saved as standard animated gif files and as Flash files with sound.

The current release of the PM Animation does not support any script languages such as ActionScript . The animation crated by PM Animation is a sequence of pre generated frames.

The advantage of this approach is that multiple image effects can be applied to each frame ahead of time so there will be no processing time during the presentation of an animation at the cost of that more frames will be packed into an animation, therefore the animation tends to have larger size and more loading time during the presentation time.

Here are some key features of "PM Animation":

· Support the input of images in major standard format including animated gif.
· Support the most features of a standard animation gif format, including loop count, frame delay, off set, background handling and transparency.
