The origin of the .FLI format that Game-Maker uses so heavily. Also a very powerful painting program, with some advanced filters reminiscent of the much-later Photoshop.

Tips

  • Animator does not support the now-standard .GIF 89 file format. You can, however, often fool Animator into loading a .GIF file by simply loading the file into a text editor like Notepad++ and editing the header to read "GIF87a" instead of "GIF89a".
