The Microsoft Windows Animated Cursor (ANI) format is used on Windows for displaying animated cursors.
It is closely related to the non-animated Microsoft Windows Cursor. The export dialog shows all the frames (layers) available. For each cursor frame, there are several settings that can be changed. The settings related to Icon Details have the same meaning as for non-animated cursors.
