How to create a sprite sheet for a simple layer based animation
A simple layer based animation can be achieved by placing each frame into a separate layer, and then exporting each layer separately and combine them into a sprite sheet.
To make the export easier, you can make use of the JettyInk extension (shipped by default). Choose 'Save a copy' and then 'JessyInk zipped pdf or png output' from the dropdown list. Choose png and whatever resolution you want.
The following command line instructions will then create a sprite sheet of your animation:
unzip name.zip convert Frame*.png +append name_spritesheet.png
Note 1: This assumes that each frame has been labeled Frame01, Frame02 etc.
Note 2: You need the command 'convert', which is part of imagemagick.
