Simple & Easy 2D Vector Animation & Illustration App! Everything you need - for a  it short or a feature - is right there in front of you.

Designed for: animatics/storyboards, explainer videos (continuous/mono line), quick sketching & illustration, game dev, frame by frame animation and fx.

FEATURE UPDATES: 

{Alpha 1.0} 1st MAJOR UPDATE!
Enough stuff to for a least a short - if not a feature - for sure!

  • Simpler Ui: then standard animation apps for pc/mac, while offering good set of fundamental tools
  • Hybrid frame-'by & over'-frame:  line trim/creation can span multiple frames and then go back to frame by frame
  • Easy Retiming: Hold frame to extend frame duration
  • Brush size & Quick Color Presets: for quick start
  • HSLuv Color Mode: artist friendly picker -  saturation is constant - no contrast surprises
  • Onion Skinning: 'lightbox' to see past and future frames, paper animation magic! 
  • Retiming: retime on 1-6s, per frame or across all frames + add frames over time
  • Marking Frame Types: KeyFrame, Extreme, Inbetween + filtering & navigating
  • Frame Copy/Paste:  frame-full copy-pasta
  • Background Ref: import Image, Animated-Svg, Video, with scrubber (needs work)
  • Select/Transform: auto selects all or some paths
  • Export: Matrix view and Batch export.
  • UI: folding & unfolding (hover over card and press TAB),  card re-orderability and themes.

NOTE:

  • Best viewed at 75% zoom to maximise UI view
  • ERASE & LOTTIE/GIF & SMOOTHING: Disabled till ready 
  • Line boil exports best with 'trim mode' is enabled and set to 'sequential'

BUGS: 

  • line boil: doesn't activate immediately on button press  
  • cursor icon: going from 'selected' back to brush doesn't reset move cursor
  • background colour: overspills to drawing container, clipping of frames and preview outline

TO ADD:

  • File Saving
  • More drawing tools/brushes/stylus pressure 
  • Erase, Path Smoothing
  • WebP, APng, glTF, Lottie, Gif
  • Grouping frames and paths
  • Retiming and Drawing Guide Widgets
  • Foldable/Reorderable Cards
  • Rewrite in Rust for super performance!
