Add a Blur/Blend Tool and an Improved Select Tool

  • Nice To Have

Okay, nobody is happier than I am about the recent updates with FlipaClip... But I wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t 100% sure it could be improved.

The first thing I’ll address is layers. I’m a YouTube animator, and I try to put a ton of quality into animations, but I think more layers are needed for better animating. For instance. Say I’m animating a cat. If it’s just one, then I could probably be able to get away with just animating one cat; needing one layer for sketching, outlining, color, shading, etc. However, if I were animating several cats, like one on top of the other or in front of another from an angle, then I would probably need several layers if they were both moving. If I were just animating them on the same layer then trying to animate the one behind another cat would be frustrating. It might look like that cat just got half of its body cut off or something. But if I had two layers I can animate that layer one at a time and animate the characters one at a time. I’m talking at least 5-10 more layers since I have sketch layers, line art, and color that need to be done with separate characters.

As for the blur/blend tool, I think it would be nice just to have something to blur the edges of shading a little bit (like on a separated layer or just a blend if on the same layer.) So the edges of shadows don’t look so chunky and sharp.

Also, a select tool. Like, to select the inside of lines, or select multiple things inside lines. 

I’ll be random and use a Venn Diagram for example. You’d be able to select one part of the circle, outside or inside the lines, or even be able to select the whole inside of the outline, except what’s outside, even stuff that is separated by lines. It might be easier than the fill bucket, and the weird select tool we have now, although that’s useful for moving things around. It just would be easier to color in the lines that way.

Examples are the blur tool in MediBang Paint, and (I don’t know what it’s called) select tool, also in MediBang. Also, in MediBang, you can select an area, go down to another layer with that area still selected, and color in the outline, but still in a different layer than the outline. (It only selects things inside one outline though in MediBang, so that’s something that could be improved in FlipaClip!)

Thanks for listening to my long list of requests. I just figure this could be something to make the app even better for animators! (After all, it’s my go-to animating system, since it’s not overly complicated.)

Duplicates 50
Blending tool

You should add a tool for blends and color degrades

Add an blur option?
Blue effect

Could you have blur effect and on the other hand you did a absolute job!

Can you. Please add a blur or blender brush thank you that would help me and my drawing a lot
Blur tool

I would really like to see some sort of blur or blending/shading tool, I find it would be much better than having to use solid colours all the time.

Try getting a blender

A blender will help blend things in e.g sunset

Blur tools and more brushes would be ana amazing update!

A blur tool would be extremely helpful with my animation ideas. Like a brush, but wherever you swipe/tap/draw will become blurred :) also, more brushes would open a door to even more amazing animations and ideas! I hope this helps! 

Add Blur And Airbrush in the Brush Tool

... Boi plz

Make it so we can blend/blur, also that we can select an area to colour.

it’s really hard to blend or shade when there ps now blur tool.

And can you get an event  pleaaaase

Ok. How do you shade / blend?

I cant shade NOR blend. Help. Please.

Hi! I really think you should add a blending tool. It would help me and other people out a lot. Thank!
Can you make a blur tool

Plzzzz

I think you should add a blur and airbrush tool!
Add a blending brush!

So you can mix colors together and possibly shade better. Or maybe add any new brush since the beta isn't much different from the original version animating wise.

Can you make a blur tool? Or some kind of blending tool? It would really help because the tool im using to blend something is a pencil.
Could u add a blur tool?

This would really make animations look more pleasant to see with colours and smear frames.It would be most appreciated because me and my friends use flipaclip and we all agree that this would could be something to be added.

Can you addo more tools like blending tool?
Blurrying

The Blur Tool! This new tool will lets you blur you drawings! Select the blur tool and swipe across your drawings! 

Add blur tool please

I would like to have a blur tool because some types drawing might be hard. So I would want a blur tool. Thank you.


Add blur effect !

I want a tool for FlipaClip where you brush along and it blurs! :)

Maybe we should add a blur tool?

I  think a blur tool would be a good idea 


not sure tho

I think there should be a blur tool

yeah, blurs look really cool and give some value and coolness to the picture. There should at least be an option to choose how blurred a layer is, like you’ve already done with opacity. It would be really helpful to artists

Puppet warp /pin tool

Please include a Puppet Warp/Pin Tool, like the one in the Plastic iOS app, or similar to the one in Photoshop/illustrator/Ae.

Mas opciones de capas y un estabilizador

Me encanta su aplicacion de animacion pero me gustaria que añadieran las opciones de fusion en las capas (multiplicar,luz fuerte,sobreexponer,etc)..asi como un estabilizador que corrija la linea y la opcion de modificar sus pinceles..vuelvo a repetir me gusta su aplicacion pero estas ideas podrian mejorar la experiencia

Hi, I'm using the new version. I'm missing the spray can paint tool or a blend option. Thanks :-)

Be nice to at least get a blended graduated or feathered edge from a spray can brush or blend gradient option. I am Beta user, not sure if I'm using beta or not though.

Blending modes Layer Option

An option that you can change for effects like lighting, dark effects, Add, Subtract, Difference, and more. but maybe it the layer option should be for that frame like not all frames will have that option enable (like layer options will be different for some frames.)

a few ideas ^^

hi! i’ve been using flipaclip for a while now ^°^, and i have quite a few ideas! a blur tool would be so so handy! and s streamline adjuster for the tools, or maybe some more tools would be awesome :D

Paint Bucket Transparency

I accidentally filled the areas around my characters with a background color instead of doing this on a lower layer. I can't find a way to set paint bucket color to transparent so that I can fill the area around my characters with a transparent color to reveal the background layer. And there's not enough updos to fix the problem either. 

Blending Tools

I think having a blending or smudging tool would be useful to many animators like me, and it would make our lives a lot easier! If you could maybeeee try to do that it would be awesome! ^^ Rlly hope you read this and consider! I swear I’m not trying to be rude in any way, thx 4 ur time! (P.S., if you do add the blending/smudging tool, could you plz put it in the drawing tool section? ;w;”)

Could you add a blender tool

so you could morph 2 colors this would be helpful for liquids and flowers

Protects get deleted when working. Please pit a blending tool plus screen rotate.
Can you add a blending tool and something to let us put music in our anamation
Tools

blend, burn,lighten-darken tools?

Glow and blur tool?

Just like flash has a glow and blur tool, it would be great and very useful to have a glow and blur tool in the Flipaclip app. 

Blend tool
I think flipaclip should have blending in it so if you agree put agree
Pls ad blending and bluring
everyone's been asking, cmon...

can you maybe add blur tool? i really need it for this upcoming project for the sky. thanks!

Blur and inverted colour

Could you add blur( focus and out of focus ) and inverted colours

Blur tools

I’ve been using FlipaClip for a good amount of time, and I think some blur tools, such as a motion blur, or a Gaussian blur tool would be very helpful!

Blur/blend tool, Smudge tool, customizable Brushes

I just want a blur, blend, smudge tool, and customizable brushes! And like less pixely brushes. Also, for it to not blur everytime i rotate an image

Blur effect

I was wondering if you could add blur effect and the new update is absolutely amazing!

Blending

You should add a blending tool, to help with mixing colors in right.

Blur tool

Please add a blur tool it would be very useful to have a blurry background and it would make animations look better!

Add a blur tool

Add a blur😼😼😼

Make auto select tool
Blur tool/effect?

I’ve been super into animating on flipaclip lately, and I’ve had a few problems with blurring some things to make it look like the camera is focused on a different character/thing. I think a blur tool would be rlly cool and it would make it a lot easier than just resizing the image over and over again until it’s blurry lol. ^^

When will a blur & blend tool get added?

I’ve been having to use a completely separate program to edit my drawings I feel that just having a blur and blend tool in FlipaClip would definitely help people make much higher detailed drawings and animations I look forward to a response... and hopefully a release date pictures: First one made with FlipaClip and the second was after putting it through the other program

FlipaClip now supports adding up to 10 layers and Blur/Blend tool is something that we are currently looking into and will probably be adding in the near future :)

And, um, maybe a camera movement tool, as well. I feel like animations would come out a lot more polished if we could add camera movement to them.

I think these kind of stuff is better suited for video editing programs. It would only add way too much complexity to this simple but great app and anyone who can use a video editing programme will do camera movement etc in another programme anyways.

It would be nice, though, because most free editing programs don’t allow camera movement (I’m sorry, iMovie) and we’d like to move the camera.
