How to animate on flipaclip

1 answer

To animate on FlipaClip, follow these steps:

1. Install the FlipaClip app on your device. It is available for download on both iOS and Android platforms.

2. Open the app and create a new project by tapping on the "+" icon or selecting "New Project" from the main menu.

3. Choose the desired canvas size and background color for your animation and tap on "OK" to proceed.

4. On the timeline at the bottom of the screen, tap on the "+" icon to add a new frame.

5. Use the drawing tools provided in FlipaClip to create your first frame of animation. You can choose from different brushes, pens, and erasers to draw on the canvas.

6. Once you finish drawing the first frame, tap on the "+" icon again to add a new frame. You can adjust the duration of each frame by tapping and dragging its edge on the timeline.

7. Make slight changes to your drawing in the second frame to create the illusion of movement. You can use FlipaClip's onion skin feature, which allows you to see the previous frame as a faint outline, to make the process easier.

8. Continue adding frames and making small changes to your drawing in each frame to gradually animate your creation. You can use the playback button to preview your animation at any time.

9. To add additional layers, such as a background or foreground, tap on the layer icon located on the bottom-right corner of the screen.

10. Once you finished animating your desired sequence, you can export the animation as a video file. Tap on the export icon (a box with an arrow pointing up) and select the desired resolution and format for your video.

11. Follow the on-screen instructions to save the animation to your device or share it on social media if desired.
