Tutorials

Here is a list of tutorial videos for you to get started.

Features

Frame by Frame Control

Add, edit or move the frames, and each edit focues on objects, not layers. This is object-oriented animation.

Static or Animated

Objects can be a static image, or a list of images being used sequentially. You may use one object in drafting, and replace it with another one (e.g. replacing a character or background image)

Object transition

Put a pin on the object, and apply curve transitions (e.g. linear, cubic, Expo, etc.) on location, size, rotation and transparency. You may also draw a path to set the locations of an object.

Flexible Aspect Ratio and Sizes

Square, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16, or circle.
Export from 360p up to 4K.

MP4 or GIF Export

Export up to 4K MP4 or GIF, and use the GIFs as iMessage stickers in the Animatives Keyboard.

Add Music, Sounds, and Voiceovers

Easily add musics, sounds, and voiceovers to the timeline.

Import from many sources

Import from your photos, extract frames from your videos, download from our cloud storage, the Files app (which can be connected to iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, your server etc.) and any web URL.

Make videos by importing your own resources, or simply use the in-app connection to Google Font, Creazilla, Apple Music, Freesound.org, etc.
