What is a Gif Sequence?

A gif sequence is simply another way to export your Aseprite animation as a .gif file. However, this plugin will allow you to build up your animation based on the timeline tags. This allows you to use more flexibility when creating your animations. In the image below, the timeline only has 1 set of frames for idle, walking, and running, but the gif sequence is built in such a way that the .gif fully expresses what the animation will look like within your project.

Sequence Presets

Gif Sequence supports the use of presets. Simply save the current sequence as a preset by clicking the checkbox and entering a name for the sequence, then clicking the save button. Now, whenever you load Gif Sequencing, you can select a preset from the dropdown at the top of the window and it will automagically populate the sequence for you! Want to edit a preset you already have defined? Simply save it again under the same name!
