Ok I love inkscape, my artwork has improved immensly!

Now, I'd like to animate my inkscape drawings, but I realise inkscape doesn't yet support animation. What I'm basically looking for is a way to show my previous frame undernearth my current frame (and light and transparent etc) so that I can adjust the next frame manually. That's the part of the process I need. I've seen people say GIMP has good animation support, but once its there its a bitmap, I want to do my editing in inkscape.

Does anyone know of a way to achieve this? I guess I could export the current frame as a bitmap and load that in to the next frame underneath. I haven;t tried that though yet, any thoughts?

The other way I can go is the expensive route and start buying software like ToonBoom Animate, thought I don't think I need that kind of power, yet.

Awesome, I'll check it out, thanks!

I should actually note that my final destination for the frames is output to individual frames in .png for inclusion into my game, not to a web browser or anything like that.

Actually I think I've solved my own problem just with layers... RTFM FTW!

lol

I'm glad you figured it out
