Multiple editors

This video shows how to configure the screen to edit a sprite with multiple editors (you can use the shortcuts Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2, Ctrl+3, Ctrl+4 to see what happen).

First look at the Animation Editor - Frame properties

Here you will see how to add frames using the menus and then with the N key (New Frame). Also I used the Ctrl+B shortcut to do Edit/Clear (clear the entire cel), because when you add a new frame a copy of the current one is made to the next new frame. You can enter to the Animation Editor with the TAB key.

Chaging the grid bounds

To change the bounds of the grid you have to select a rectangular area with the Rectangular Marquee tool (M key) and then click the "Set Grid" button in the Tools Configuration dialog (C key to show/hide this dialog).
