Hey there,
Just wondering if there’s any method to export as a Sprite sheet (all the frames of an animation side by side on one sheet for easy access) rather than as a video. Here is an example:
Hi @TheGaleForce, and welcome.
You can’t export as a sprite sheet. You can export a single frame or all frames as images, and that’s the best we can do.
@TheGaleForce Hey, as David mentioned right now this is not available in Pencil2D. If you export the frames as PNG’s however, you can use tools such as:
- TexturePacker: https://www.codeandweb.com/texturepacker
- Stitches: https://draeton.github.io/stitches/
- SpriteSheet Packer https://github.com/nickgravelyn/SpriteSheetPacker
- http://darkfunction.com/editor/
I think it would be cool to consider having similar functionality in Pencil2D to support game animators that want traditional animation in their games (e.g Cuphead, Indivisible, BLUD, etc), once we start leaving the critical updates and stability issues behind this might be able to be discussed. For now, using a third party app is the way to go.
If something ever gets added we’ll update this thread and let you know for sure. Cheers 
Alright, thanks for the help!
