Description

FlipPad Makes Animation Easier. That’s why the major studios and the top animation schools use our software.

DigiCel FlipPad is for people who like to draw and want to do traditional, hand-drawn animation. Whether you use an Apple Pencil or draw with your finger, FlipPad makes animation easier.

The TRADITIONAL XSHEET makes timing easier and has thumbnail images so you can see what you're doing.

DRAWING is Smooth and Natural. So whether you’re working on your first pencil test or your final masterpiece, it’s going to look great.

The LIGHTBOX (onion skin) is automatic making it easier and more versatile.

ONLY FlipPad lets you change the timing while the scene is playing so you can see the results immediately.

FlipPad’s unique PAINTING tools are designed specifically for painting animation cels and that makes them faster and more more powerful. Drag the paint bucket to fill like a brush or touch and hold the bucket the fill the entire character.

You can PLAY, PAUSE, STEP and SCRUB through your animation to scrutinize every frame to get it just right.

You can ADD SOUND and time your animation to sync with lips, action or anything.

IMPORT MOVIES to draw over or use as reference to help you learn to animate.

And of course you can SHARE your movies with friends on social media pages.

IN-APP UPGRADE
The in-app UPGRADE to FLIPPAD PRO adds support the Apple Pencil and gives you full HD resolution, 16 million colors, custom color palettes and up to 10 layers and 1,000 frames. It also lets you drag the bucket so you can paint much faster and easier.

Check out our website (DigiCel.net/FlipPad) to see what it can do and how to do it.

Brush Size Bug

Hello! I am enjoying the initial trial, and I will most likely unlock the upgrade, but one thing I’m having trouble with is an incessant bug that increases the brush size to where it nearly fills the entirety of the canvas. I find that there’s not really a way around it unless I either go to the menu or restart the app again. This bug seemed to happen almost every time I would draw near the margins/edges of the canvas. Separately, It also crashes quite a bit, though I’m wondering if that has to do with my device at all. Thanks in advance. This app is a very wonderful animation app that is very easy for me to understand. I think I’ll enjoy the upgraded version as well.

Thanks for your review. We are aware of that bug and we're working on a fix for it right now. As far as we can tell it only happens when you drag your finger onto the screen from off the edge and it quickly goes away if you close and reopen the app, which will bring you right back to where you were. We're sorry for this inconvenience and plan to have this fixed in an update that we're working on right now.

Amazing, yet still needs more (edited, with a better explanation)

I use this app for basically all my videos. It's nice, and easy to use! Yet, I have some suggestions. I feel like you could add more brushes, and tools, like a watercolor paintbrush or something. Second, we need more than 1000 frames. Last time I tried added more than 1000 it didn't let me, and I even paid for the upgrade. Third, we should be able to like make the background sounds in the app like in Flipaclip. I have to make a video in iMovie with a blank background, and put together the sound there and import it onto the app. That's also how I'm able to get past 1000 frames. We should also be able to add text because my handwriting is sloppy. Besides it would look better, with all the fonts and stuff. That's really all, but the app does crash sometimes, and deletes what I had on the frame I was on. Also can you add the option to add lighting? It's such a pain. We need pens that can make things brighter and darker. Like, you color something with that pen and that color(s) becomes brighter/darker. (I don’t know your email address so I edited this with a better explanation.) Anyway, I'm done talking. Please read this :) (oh and also the option to pan the camera around like in anime, where it does ken burns and stuff)

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your 5 star review. And thanks for your suggestions. We do plan to add more brushes.
The average animated scene is about 6 seconds. That’s less than 150 frames. The best way to make a movie is to make each scene in its own FlipPad file and then combine the scenes in a video editor the same way they make live action movies.
As for the lighting, please send us an email with a more complete explanation of what you want.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Semi functional

I bought the app because I needed an animation program but it’s kinda janky unfortunately. It crashes constantly but only saves your progress 50% of the time when it does that and sometimes and just decides not to download correctly?? I used it for 20 minutes and it crashed 3 times during that. I would use it more if it were more stable but I wouldn’t even mind all of that if it had a stabiliser for the pen.

The layout is pretty easy to get a handle on though and the app is pretty beginner friendly. I’ve been using it for small things where I draw in another app and import to this to throw it together and it’s functional. Like I said I’d love for it to have a stabiliser or a feature that lets you select multiple photos to import at one time.

Developer Response ,

I'm sorry to hear you had trouble. We are working on an all new version that is more stable and has more features. Both of the features you suggested are on the list.
