You have now added the animated frames into gif animator. Great work!


You will notice that the images are bunched together. Hmm... We will need to fix this. This is part of creating your scene.

We will now seperate them and place them to our liking. Click on frame one and select the phacon.gif monster. With the left button held you must drag the monster to the other side of the canvas.
