Pixel Joint Forum: Animation

Message

   Hello, I've been visiting this site for a while.
I'm not a retro nerd but I love 2d design, pixel art and Snes games.

I started making my own pixel art more then a month ago.
And two weeks ago me and a friend decided to make a game where I would do the design and he codes.

For a start we will be using Game Maker just to get started and Im using Paint (windows 7) and the Game Makers editor to animate the sprites.

But I want to know if there is a better programs for animation?
Would be nice with one where you use the previous frame as a ghost behind the next if you know what I mean.

I've checked the list of programs here but I want to know what you PRO's use and think is best for me.

PS: please no bashing here   .

	GIMP, Fireworks, Photoshop are all good animation programs.

	Howdy Vladimir, welcome to PixelJoint. Many professionals use Cosmigo ProMotion. GraphicsGale is popular as well. Be careful with the "free" version of GraphicsGale, though: it can't export gifs, the most widely used format for animated pixel art and the only format PixelJoint accepts. *Originally posted by SierraKhaar* PS: please no bashing here . Never.
