The Frame Gallery is used to create animated GIF files. The gallery shows each frame in the animation sequence with the last frame at the top. (This makes it easier to understand the effect of the Background and Overlay flags, described below.)
Note that the Frame Gallery is only accessible in 'Animated' type documents. See Creating new documents for details of creating Animated documents.

Current frame
The current frame is highlighted in the gallery and is the frame into which all newly created objects are placed. To change the current frame, just click on a frame in the gallery.
Many operations using the Frame Gallery are more easily accessible using the Frame Gallery pop-up menu.
Tips
 If you import Xara LX documents containing 
 layers: the Frame Gallery uses layer technology to create the individual 
 frames. This means that to preserve the appearance of the import document, 
 Xara LX has to move all objects into a single layer. This means that when 
 you save the document, you lose any layer information. See Layers 
 and Frames for more information.
