FRAME-BY-FRAME ANIMATION

TIMELINE

LIGHT TABLE & CENTERFOLD
You can register your pictures to a light table and refer to them while drawing. Simply press a key on the keyboard to check the motion between the pictures, just like flipping through paper drawings.
ONION SKIN
You can check your animation by viewing the surrounding pictures as translucent layers. Various settings can be specified, such as the number of pictures to be displayed and the color in which they are displayed.
LOAD MOVIES & CLIP FILES
Movies and files in CLIP STUDIO PAINT format can be loaded as file objects and used as part of your animation or as a reference for drawing.
LOTS OF EXPORT OPTIONS

You can export your work as a series of still images. These can be posted on illustration sites or social media. Export your work as an animated GIF and post it on social media.
TEMPLATES
