Add some free programs as alternative to Gimp as it seems clumsy regarding animations. --paradox-01 (talk) 12:40, 25 August 2016 (CEST)
Photoshop
Preparation
Create a new RGB document and set its dimensions to power of 2. Probably you make it between 256x256 and 64x64 pixels.
Enable timeline: Window > Timeline
Create a video timline. This gives you more possibilities about you can do with layers and effects.
You will be able to set keyframes so that the changes between are interpolated (created automatically).
Editing
Expand your layers (▼) in video timeline to gain control over position, opacity and styles.
Set or remove keyframes by clicking the diamond symbol (◆). A selected keyframe turns yellow.
Note about frames: When you zoom in on your animation (slider at bottom) the unit type turns from s to f. Default fps of your timeline is seen at the bottom. If you don't want one second to be 30 frames long, go to the dropdown options of the timeline panel.
Export
File > Export > Render video
- Change "Adode Media Encoder" to "Photoshop image sequence".
- Choose TGA formate.
- The amount of images depends on how long your animation is in seconds and with what fps you will export it.
- For example if your animation is 2s long and you set fps to 24 fps (frames per second) you will get 48 images.
- The fps can be anything so you don't have to worry about frames and seconds.
- When you decided on your amount of images, start render.

Flash's successor is Animate CC.
Gimp
From what I've seen on Youtube I think Gimp has an "one image per detail change"-workflow which would mean you have to create each single images yourself.
