@no_need322 You can make everything go up or down in resolution or crop or expand your canvas. Go to Scene Settings to do so. You can use this creatively - your lines will not degrade or blur. However, you probably meant a kind of interactive scaling/moving? This is on our todo list!

@AnimationPaper Would love to know if there's any way to resize ALL layers and frames at the same time, perhaps I missed something?

@ptrhlm 😮😱😭

I left the restaurant chocked and furious. And took a two-hour train ride back home. Hungry and steaming.

My past company made game prototypes with a long time client in a week long game jam session. The new boss of the client's department showed up on the last day to inspect the results. Never met him before. His first comment: "I don't see the value in this." Next week he ...

@Drchoker AP is way more streamlined towards doing the actual animation - much better in this regard. One thing that is missing in the current free Alpha however is coloring. You can easily export your animation and color it elsewhere. Coloring is included as a free update soon though!

@Drchoker Well that’s a difficult question for me to answer, because I only know Flash in depth from many years ago and it is/was very different in many ways. So details on the way you work is very different in the two programs. However, they can both help you make 2D animation!

@AnimationPaper Can your software do almost everything Adobe Flash can do?

@Welflare @Padderooz There's an important detail to add: After scrubbing, you lift up your pen and let go of Shift. AP will pop back at the current frame you were working on. BUT if you release Shift first and then lift your pen, you will stay at the frame you scrubbed to.

@Welflare @Padderooz I will add that there’s an even closer feature in Animation Paper! You start at your current frame. Then hold Shift and (from anywhere) just drag left/right (or up/down) to flip your frames - scrubbing backwards and forwards. Super handy!

A very rough and quick dialogue exercise with @AnimationPaper . I really enjoyed using AP. It keeps getting better and better! Thanks for all the work you put in, Niels Krogh Mortensen and his team! ( Audio clip is from Everybody loves Raymond) #2DAnimation #roughanimation

@Moekaki69 Are you sure? :) I bet you’ll love Animation Paper on the computer (a tablet and pen is needed though). ;) Anyway, we are going to release it for iPad, but we need to finish it for the desktop first.

@AnimationPaper I want to try this so bad but I need it on iPad. It would be disingenuous of me to try it on anything else when I won’t bother using it again on anything else. 🥲

Animation Paper Alpha 8 is ready for download! Here's what's new: animationpaper.com/2023/12/22/alp… #2danimation #handdrawn #handdrawnanimation #software #animationpaper #animation #animator

@CscCommand Thanks man! Nice words! 🙌😎

Just downloaded animation paper. made this in about a minute, mucking about with me mouse... If I set it up properly it could be useful. :) Nice one! @AnimationPaper

Great use of annotations in Animation Paper... instagram.com/reel/CpGB6TejT… #animation #2danimation #animationpaper #handdrawn #software #lipsync #cartoons

@GallopingSkirt @GogogigiFriends So good to hear! Thanks! Exactly what I am aiming for.

Hey guys! Do you know any (possibly free) 2d animation software for beginners?
