A great iPad app for animating on the go - whether you’re just starting out or an experienced pro. There are no upgrade fees or subscription costs.
All the features you’d want are included (onion skinning, rotoscoping), plus looping, transformable sub-clips - small bits of animation that you can keyframe in the main timeline.
There’s also large image import for that background you’ve made in some other well known art program to use for panning shots or plain old static shots.
Have you drawn a complex bounded shape and want to fill it? Use inverse fill with the paint bucket tool.
Importing and sharing projects is easy using the .celanim file format.
Features:
Onion skinning
Video import for rotoscoping
Export as png sequence, gif, or mp4
Audio import
Record audio voiceover in the app, no third party app required.
Sub clips for creating looping animations for your scene.
Inverse fill for filling detailed shapes with color.
Easy timeline frame spanning - drag the lower right corner to make a frame span multiple frames.
Easy timeline manipulation - drag the left half of a frame to reposition it on the timeline.
Tapered line tool.
Lasso and transform tools for making simple movements.
