Storyboard and animatic inside
Board the film in the same project, time it to sound, keep the panel beside you while you animate, and export printable pages.
A full 2D animation studio, multiplayer
Animate together. Frame by frame. Live.
Everything from storyboard to final export, in a studio where your whole crew draws in the same scene at the same time. Everyone sees every stroke as it lands.
Runs in the browser on iPad, desktop and Android tablets. Nothing to install.
One studio for every kind of crew
Studios and teams
Run a shot like a pipeline: storyboard, rough, clean-up, colour and comp, each with its own role, in one shared file.
Independent filmmakers
Make a whole film on your own, then invite a friend to colour or inbetween for a day without sending a single file.
Schools and workshops
Demonstrate, let everyone practise beside you and critique on their frames, in a lab or online.
One scene. Many hands.
Other animation software passes files from desk to desk. Here the scene is a shared room, and every artist works on their own layer inside it.
Your layer stays yours
Layers are private or shared. Others ask to join. Hide everyone else's work with one tap when you need to focus.
Production roles
Lead, animator, colourist, or roles you create: storyboard, clean-up, layout, compositing, rigging. The lead chooses the tools each one can use.
Undo that is only yours
Ctrl+Z reverts your strokes and never a classmate's. Each layer keeps a history of who did what, and you can restore it.
Tools you won't find in every animation app
Brushes, onion skin and a timeline are a given. These are the ones that change how a film gets made.
Perform the motion
Arm recording, grab a layer and move it while the scene plays. Your hand becomes clean keyframes you can refine in the graph editor.
Perspective the whole team shares
One to five vanishing points, up to fisheye. Strokes snap to the grid, and everyone in the room draws in the same space.
Rigging with bones
Pegs, bones with IK and a node view, right next to your hand-drawn layers.
Shoot paper drawings
Photograph pencil drawings with your camera, page after page, straight into frames.
Automatic lip-sync
Drop in a voice track and get a mouth chart on the timeline and the X-sheet.
Notes on the frame
Pin a review note to a spot on a frame, point with a laser, or ping everyone to look here.
Any screen
iPad with a pencil, desktop with a tablet, Android tablets. Projects save to the cloud.
Also inside: pressure brushes, onion skin, holds on 1s to 4s, line art and colour art, effects, a graph editor, and export to video, GIF or image sequence.
Effects, brushes and type, finished in the same file
No round trip to a compositing app. The look of the film is built where the drawings are, and the whole room sees it.
An effect stack on every layer
80 effects, from glow and lens blur to rain, glitch and halftone. Stack them in order, and keyframe any parameter with the same easing curves as your animation.
Brushes you can build
Pencil, chalk, charcoal, bristle and watercolour, with paper grain, wet mixing, smudge and pen tilt. Tune every parameter or make a tip from your own image.
Text that animates itself
Live text layers with animators per letter, word or line. Start from a preset or keyframe the range yourself, then add effects on top.
Lead a crew or teach a class from one seat
The screen wall shows every artist's canvas side by side, live. Watch someone work, jump to their frame, or bring them to yours.
- Present your screen to everyone, or call pencils down and freeze the room.
- Hand out tasks, run a timer for an exercise, or take a quick poll.
- Class rooms add demo, practice and critique modes, and the teacher's Pro license unlocks the Pro tools for the whole room.
