Pixelmash 2024.0 Released with Powerful New Animation Timeline!

We’re excited to announce that Pixelmash 2024.0 has been released with a powerful new Animation Timeline feature, and is ready for you to download now! Check out the release video to see how the new timeline works:

The new Animation Timeline has long been requested by users, and replaces the old hacked-in animation window that has been with Pixelmash from the beginning. This timeline is much more standard and powerful for easily making animated pixel art, letting you see all your layers, frames, keyframes and animation settings in one intuitive panel that lives at the bottom of the interface. It can be hidden and shown from the View menu when you’re not creating animations.

Use the right-click menu on frames and cells to access handy animation features like copying and pasting animation frames or setting and removing keyframes. Combined with Pixelmash’s unique ability to animate with layer transforms and vector tweening, this powerful new timeline makes creating beautiful pixel art animations easier than ever before!

Additionally, we’ve added the ability to export video files with an alpha channel (Mac-only for now), updated some of the tool icons, and fixed some bugs.

Enjoy!
