Deluxe Paint 5 can't do this? Animation question

[lost_lemming]

Ok so, I got the demo of (yeah I know, DEMO! maybe on the full thing that's more options)

so say you got about 30 frames, is there a way to sequence them in a block way? like on a music tracker so you can repeat a certain frame-range a certain amount of times?

for examples

frames 1-7 x 1
frames 8-18 x 8
frames 1-7 x 4
frames 8-18 x 1

you'd think (even back then) they'd add a feature like this! I checked out that 'make a palette' and I thought YES! looks like they'll let you sequence frames in a smart way! then I get to 'frame palette info' getting my hopes up that it's a way to repeat sections a number of times and no! and now I have no idea what the whole palette thing could be used for other than a fancy way of deleting frames. utterly pointless feature that.

hmmm No reply yet. Ok, maybe a better question would be, can anyone recommend me a good animation package for the Amiga 1200? something that's easy with workflow.
