Here are steps needed to creat such kind of animation. These are steps for transition between two images. Transition between more images (three in above example) is straight forward:

1. Create new image - in this example: size 200*60,white background.
2. Select draw-normal
3. Put text on the canvas
4. Create new V/A sequence. Your image is automatically set as a first frame.
5. Press undo button and place new text on canvas
6. Append image to sequence.
7. Repeat steps 5-6.
8. Select Warp image-Explode, check BackFilled option.
9. Select first frame and get it into IMA.
10. Perform explode on image
11. Right click on selected frame, insert after.
12. Repeat steps 10 - 11, always inreacing explode length (even across image borders).
13. Select frame containing second text
14. Perform explode on image
15. Right click on selected frame, insert before.
16. Repeat steps 14 - 15 as necessary.
17. Mark all "exploded" frames, select last frame, right click-invert marked frames and copy after.
18. Adjust delay on desired frames.
19. Save sequence as animated GIF

Next month example uses combination of three different sequences warped with Warp image-Motion instead of Explode. We will explain how to create this animation next month as some additional features will be added to Pixopedia 24 to make this kind of animation easier to perform.
