There are 2 different animation options in PI. You can choose between

ANIMATE THIS PICTURE

and FLIPBOOK ANIMATION

You can animate anything you make into 3-D form, it will let you make it roll over, or twirl around

Here I have made 3 different animations using the twirl & roll options. The first is made with the normal 10 frames, the 2nd is make with 70 frames and the 3rd is the rolling optionl. The first 2 look alot alike, you should have noticed that it took forever for the 2nd to load and animate correctly, but it flows well, while number 1 is more jerky.

These options you don't get if you just have a flat graphic you want to animate.

A flat graphic can be animated to dissolve or bounce or go from side to side, like bouncing and to go across the page like a marquee.
