First frame: jump back to the first frame.
Previous frame: jump back 1 frame.
Play animation: allows you to preview the animation.
Next frame: jump forward 1 frame.
Last frame: jump forward to the last frame.
Add frame: opens load graphic box, import image, & edit settings for a single frame
Delete frame: delete the currently selected frame.
Edit frame: opens load graphic box, replace current image, edit various settings, & create custom actions, for the currently selected frame.
Load frame sequence: allows you to batch import animation frame images; images must contain same name with a prefix index number like so: walk_west_01, walk_west_02, ..., walk_west_10, etc...
Onion effect: allows you to display a semi-transparent version, of whichever animation frame you assign the red dot to.
