Animation Properties Dialog Box - Frame

These are options for the current frame (the frame shown highlighted in the Frame Gallery).

Name

When you create a frame it is allocated a default name. Use this field if you want to give the frame a different name. (For example, to remind yourself what the frame shows.) Frame names are only used in this program; they do not appear in the Animated GIF.

Background/Overlay

These duplicate the buttons on the Frame Gallery. See Background and Overlay Settings for more details.

Show Frame

Select this option to include the frame in the final animation. If you want to exclude the current frame from the animation, deselect it. You can also change this setting using the pop-up menu in the Frame Gallery, just right-click on a frame.
