* Hopefully if all went well you should now have a sequence of PNG images that kept their transparecy. Enter in the according info (folder to export into, name, settings, duration, number of samples / images). * When ready, go to Export Animation to PNG Sequence. * You could add in any more effects you want on top for example Particle effects or Gold Stars, etc. * Go back to the Drawing Tools settings and select the brush and now brush-over your image that you want to give the animation to. * With your effect brush still selected (in this example, the 'Wave Brush'), click on the Gear-icon for the settings and be sure to set 'Apply animation to' and choose 'whole scene'. Be sure to move that brush above your image on the list (click on the blue 'up' arrow to move it up on the list). * On the far-right Animations pane, click to select your brush-effect (In this exmple, the 'Wave' brush).

In this example I choose a 'Wave' brush effect (the Warping Brushes mostly seem to work ok). * Now choose the effect or brush you want to add (keeping in mind that only some effects seem to work well where some may not). * From the Add Animation select 'Animated Objects', 'Import Animation Pictures' (I kept the default delay of 10), 'Add Images', navigate to and select your PNG image you want to work with, click 'Continue' and select 'Create Stationary Animation'. If you like, you can click on the Gear-icon next to it to set the Width and Height of the canvas / working area.

* From the top-middle menu area for 'Choose Effect' select the 'No Background' option. Remember to Save your changes when you like when working on your project. Which between watching the sample video on the Store-page and seeing that manual page about 'Set Transparent Background' (though their manual is still lacking) helped to put me on the right track, so with a bit of experimenting I was able to do it.Īlso, in what I've experimented with so far, only certain animation effect work effectively with it, where some effects (like fire, cloud, stream, etc.) seems it will end up just making your image 'see through / transparent' where the effect is brushed on.Īnyways, here's an example of how you might have it work with some effects: I was on the store page and looking at the first video, it shows adding an animation to an image with transparency, so I figured there must be a way to do it.Ĭhecking the info at their website I found: Looks like maybe there is a way to do it afterall.
