Animating certain types of sprites?

[Uikri]

Trial and Error, I'd assume. For the multipart one, you'd place the pieces together in a way that looks right, for the animations, you'd put them in order and move them around (many animation programs offer frame position offsets) until it animates smoothly.
I'm afraid that's how it would be done as there are no frame position markers or boxes or anything.

Oh wow. So it's all manual, eh?
