The ''Animation'' tab in the ''Sprite'' window of the [[Sprite Editor | Sprite Editor]] is used to edit and set properties of an animated sprite.

The Timeline of the animation (all sprites with their duration in order) is shown in a seperate window. The current frame is marked with an arrow below the timeline.

'''Num Frames''' - number of frames in the animation

'''Current Frame''' - frame being edited (not editable if ''Edit All Frames'' is checked)

'''Duration''' - duration of the current frame

'''Loop''' - check for a continuously looping animation (eg propellor), uncheck for single play (eg explosion)

'''Edit All Frames''' - check to make changes apply to all frames, uncheck to apply to current frame only

'''Insert''' - add a new frame at the end of the animation

'''Insert After''' - add a new frame after the current one

'''Delete''' - delete the current frame

'''Preview''' - rewind, play, stop or fast forward the animation playing in the ''Preview'' window. To play a section, move the tags above the timeline to the start and end points of the section.

'''Onion''' - check to show previous frames of animation faintly in the background

To change a sprite in the animation, make it the ''Current Frame'' then go to the [[Sprite Editor Sprite Tab | Sprite tab]]. The current sprite will be outlined with a red box. Change the ''Position'' X and Y values or click with the mouse to select a different sprite in the texture.
