Free art program that can animate gifs?
a year ago
General
So in regards to the previous journal I DO want to make a game. But using ezgif online to test animations is not convenient so having a program would be helpful.
I have heard about Aseprite, but it's a paid program. Now if it IS a good program for this and well worth the money to buy it I may bite and do it.
Now someone did share a video of how to get Aseprite for free by compiling the source code, but just a few seconds into the video and talking about all the things I'd need to download I kind of noped out of that. I am sure it's safe to download all this stuff but the less things I have to download the better. Call me a ludite I don't care, I just don't like downloading a lot of things. I prefer when I can download ONE program and it works without any further downloads.
So if you know of any good programs to animate sprite like stuff I would appreciate it.
Or if you know how good Aseprite is share some info. I just know the way I am doing things is dging to make things slower than they need to be.

GIF in general is a terrible format that really should never be used anymore
GIMP is definitely the one that I use.
You can set up custom palettes and download custom palettes too, comes with support for tablets for pressure sensitivity and whatnot, custom brushes, unlimited animation length, etc
it's basically a modern art program built for pixel art, but afaik, it has no problem with larger resolution stuff too
Genuinely worth the admission price
Might still work with what I got and some free options in the mean time.
Looks like some simple laying stuff so that should work for me.
I tried Krita but I don't think my computer could quite handle it.
It crashes when I try to open it.
