: Gimp - animation formats besides gif Using Gimp 2.8.4 I am developing an animation for a game in gimp. The game does not require a gif animation - I load individual images as frames, usually

@BetL875

By default, GIMP can export to the .MNG file format - which is a somewhat complicated format designed to replace animated GIFs in the past, but never caught on due too being too complex. (GIMP itself implements a rather restricted subset of it).

Since you asked "what animation formats GIMP support", it can also export to ".flic" - "Autodesk FLIC Animation" - but that is a fixed size, limited colors, animation format used in the late 80's - certainly mostly useless by now.

I think what would be best for your workflow instead would be to install the GIMP Animation Package (GIMP-GAP) - which provides a lot of other capabilities to editing animations in GIMP (like, allowing each frame to be a full GIMP image with multiple layers) - and can export to either a sequence of images, or various video formats making use of other installed system libraries

(The code on GIMP-GAP works with GIMP 2.8, but the Windows installer listed there seem to be outdated - please check this link on how to install GIMP Animation Package for GIMP-2.8 on Windows)
