 This adds small buttons to nearly each parameter-field. Instead of having a fixed value in this field you can have a motion-curve which describes the change of the property over time.
 Time is here represented by frame-numbers, together with a frame-rate (fps=frames per seconds) you can come to time in seconds. But, for creating an anim-brush it is sufficient to work with frame-numbers, we want create a sequence of 64 frames now.

 The basic idea is to create a fractal animation and use the Easy Movie Maker to render it. Either by rendering frames (for further processing in your painting-programm) or creating the anim-brush directly.<br>
 There are two possibilities to create such animated fractals in JWildfire:

 Creating animations by motion-curves is much more versatile and precise, but probably takes a little more effort.
