Avidemux vs Tesserra

Avidemux has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

Tesserra is a pixel art editor for drawing and animation on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android. It has custom brushes, layer groups, blend modes, an animation timeline, onion skinning, indexed color tools, and sprite-sheet export. Built-in palettes support up to 64 colors, and you can import GPL, PAL, HEX, and ASE palettes. The editor imports images and exports GIF, PNG, SVG, and ASE files. Retro-style themes and six shaders include Composite NTSC, three CRT types, and two handheld LCD looks. Files open across the supported platforms; tablets use the desktop layout, while phones use a simpler touch layout. Optional cloud sync works with Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, or Nextcloud and requires an account with that provider. Tesserra Lite is free. Tesserra Full costs $7, paid once while in beta; the maker says the price will rise to $14 on full release. Full includes the feature set on all platform versions except iOS, which, along with iPadOS, is in development.
