Commodore C64 – Sprite editor, compositor and animator!
V1.43-
Fixed – swap bug with the compositor (crashed with an error)

  • Press CTRL when changing frames to stay within animation range
  • Use Alt+Click to pick sprite from compositor (layer sensitive)

Previous uodates:
** You can now export/import binary files. Please note, this is sprite data only and will ignore color setup and compositor. Be sure to save the usual way with CTRL+L too. Alt+B = Export Binary, now you can work in Sprite pad using the binary import. B = Import Binary, great if you have been working in Sprite pad and want to use the compositor of Spred 64 for a better idea of your animations etc.**
Fixed how you place sprites (controls)

See the full video for full tutorial and instructions:

New Tutorial: 

Composite up to 16 sprites with 5 layers each over 30 frames of animation from a bank limited to 64 C64 Sprites. Export the byte data to use in your very own projects.!

Keys:
Numpad to shift pixels (4,8,6,2) of currently selected sprite
Arrow keys to change Layer / Animation frame
Pg Up/Pg Dn (+Alt to decrease) to increase start / End frames
Ctrl+Arrow keys to change sprite position offset on the compositor area (bottom right grid). Hover cursor over the sprite you want to modify, it is also layer sensitive.
Shift+X/Y to stretch Sprites (Compositor area only)
X – Flip sprite horizontally (on selected sprite)
Ctrl+Backspace to clear sprite data
F1 swap sprites in the spritebank (no need to click, just hover)
F2 duplicate the compositing frame
F6 to reset
Ctrl+L to load 
Ctrl+S to Save
Ctrl+C to copy a sprite
Ctrl+V to paste a sprite
To fix older offset issues, try loading with Shift+L or Alt+L and resave as a new file.
