Setting transparency options for a frame

Color palettes in a GIF animation only support 8bit colors, that is a red channel, a green channel and a blue channel. Alpha channels are not supported. However, each frame can have a given color marked as the transparent color, causing any pixel of that color not to be drawn.

To enable transparency for one or more frames

1. Select one or more frames from the animation reel, and click the Frame tab
2. To enable transparency, check the Transparency option
3. Click the Color button to choose a transparent color from the color palette associated with the frame

This setting can be applied to multiple frames at once.

To disable transparency for one or more frames

1. Select one or more frames from the animation reel, and click the Frame tab
2. To disable transparency, uncheck the Transparency option

When transparency is disabled, the value of the Color button is automatically ignored
