But this method takes his time. Additionally, this sheet has over 500 colours (I had to split the parts -> very annoying).

This is no problem, but want the alpha transparency of the animation. Furthermore, the developers resized some parts of the animation, this is impossible to arrange.

Eventually, I did it with the traditional method:

But hell, it's rather time consuming.

Yeah sometimes things like that are time consuming. Even if you can't get the alpha transparency its still a pretty good rip. Sometimes there's really no possible way to rip something perfectly.
