- Distinct from DeluxePaint Animation (Anim or ANM) files.
ANIM is an animated raster graphics format that was widely used on Amiga computers.
It uses the IFF container format. The first frame is usually (more or less) in the form of an embedded ILBM file. The other frames use one of a number of available schemes for storing the differences from a previous frame.
There is at least one extension to add audio to an ANIM file: Refer to AnimFX's documentation of the SXHD and SBDY chunks.
