How is Fireworks used to create animated GIFs?
Animated GIFs in Fireworks are created by generating a sequence of frames that contain different content in each subsequent frame. Users can set Frame Delay and Looping properties to control the speed and looping behavior of the animated GIF. Animation symbols allow for quick creation of simple animations, from linear movement, opacity fades, scale/resize to rotation of the animated symbol. An additional feature in Fireworks is the ability to tween objects that have been converted to symbols. This allows the user to quickly build animations that contain tweened motion, opacity and effect settings. Onion skinning may be used to allow the user maximum control over the animation process.
