Can easily organise and edit timing of frames

Extensive colour selection, and when you change a colour this change automatically applies to other frames Allows the addition of sound tracks, which is especially useful for lipsyncing Includes vertical timing sheet, with each row being a frame and each column being a layer Drawing allows pressure sensitivity, and you can choose between free drawing or 'smart' drawing which smooths out curves Allows you to draw with a tablet or scan/capture traditionally drawn frames Pixel-based rather than vector-based so allows a more traditional look I'm aware in a professional environment I'd be expected to adapt to new software, so I'm willing to practice getting used to it. There's also a tool for scanning in paper-based drawings. My only gripe was that for some reason despite it being pixel rather than vector based, I find it hard to draw as well on anything that isn't Photoshop - a possibility would be to draw the frames in PS then transfer them to FlipBook to sort out the timing and colouring. My general impression of it was quite positive, it has a nice and simple interface and there's no overload of extra unnecessary tools which is what I find annoying on other software. I have downloaded a trial from the official site. After watching a couple of tutorials to get a general idea of how it works, I can see that it is potentially a good choice for me.

It apparently has been used on everything from Disney's Enchanted to The Simpsons Movie to the Wild Thornberries, and there are various videos of well-known animators - including Don Bluth - recommending it. After some research I've discovered some 2D animation software that seems to be frequently recommended.įlipbook seems to be a good, simple piece of software with some nice features that really help with efficiency and adding that extra level of polish.
