This is\na plug-in that allows you to losslessly import frames from an animation created\nin Animation Creator into [GIMP][2], the free software drawing program.\n\n![](figures/logo.png)\n\nAnimation frames are imported in a format that is convenient for use with the\nGIMP [Onion layers][3] and [Export layers][4] plug-ins.\n\n[1]: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/animation-creator-hd/id363201632\n[2]: https://www.gimp.org/\n[3]: https://github.com/avian2/gimp-plugin-onion-layers\n[4]: https://github.com/khalim19/gimp-plugin-export-layers\n\n\n## Installation\n\nTo install the plug-in, copy the `ac_import.py` file to `[your home folder]\\.gimp-[GIMP version]\\plug-ins`.\n\nIf you have GIMP 2.8 on Linux, running `make install` should also do the right\nthing.\n\nThe plug-in was developed for GIMP 2.8.18 and Python 2.7. It might also work\nwith other versions - feedback regarding that is welcome.\n\n\n## Usage\n\nThe import function provided by the plug-in can be found in the GIMP menu under\n\"Filters -\u003e Animation -\u003e Import from AC\".\n\nIn the Animation Creator application, tap on an animation thumbnail and select\n\"Email Project\". Send the resulting email with the \".ac\" attachment to\nyourself. Note that you will need to use an email account that can accept large\nfiles (a 120 frame animation at 720p will be around 20 MB).\n\n![](figures/ac-mail-project.png)\n\nOn a PC, save the \".ac\" attachment to some folder on your disk. Now open GIMP\nand create a new, empty image (size doesn't matter). Then select \"Import from\nAC\" menu and select your \".ac\" file. The button with the paper icon opens up\nthe file chooser dialog, so you don't have to type the path by hand.\n\n![](figures/import-dialog.png)\n\nAfter clicking \"OK\", your animation frames should be imported into GIMP. Each\nframe is represented as a Layer Group in GIMP.\n\n\n## Known limitations\n\nCurrently the plug-in should correctly handle multiple layers per frame, with\nlayer opacity and visibility settings imported into GIMP.\n\nBlank frames are imported as empty layer groups.\n\nData not relevant to GIMP is ignored (e.g. audio, frame rate)\n\nThe plug-in was developed with files exported from Animation Creator version\n1.14.3. Other versions might use a different file format and might not work\nwith this plug-in.\n\n\n## License\n\nGIMP Animation Creator import plug-in is Copyright (C) 2018 Tomaž Šolc tomaz.solc@tablix.org\n\nThis program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under\nthe terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software\nFoundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later\nversion.\n\nThis program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY\nWARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A\nPARTICULAR PURPOSE.
