Frame Hold

I know I and others have mentioned this before, but I haven't seen it in this particular forum.

If there's one missing feature that means I have to take my project out of FlipaClip and onto the PC, it's the fact that I currently cannot make a single drawing hold for more than a single frame. This means that laying out key drawings to get a feel for the timing of an animation is not really possible. It also means that if, once you have your timing set up, you want to alter a 'hold' drawing, then you're going to have a LOT of copy/pasting to do.

It would be fantastic if you could grab the right hand side of a drawing on the timeline and drag it out to the desired number of frames - and if you could do this on a per-layer basis, then that would be even better.

Hope I don't sound like I'm complaining too much ... I love the app. :)

duration of a single frame

Adjusting the frame duration of a single frame


....Like a PC program "TVPaint"

Doubletap a frame in frame viewer for frame hold timing

I understand why you don't want to add a timeline editor and keep this app fun and light, but...

What about just adding the ability for a frame to be held during playback (and movie export) for a multiple number of frame intervals? A doubletap on a frame in the frame viewer much be a great way to edit this number. (with a calculated time position displayed under the frame number too?)

Video frame choosing

I want it to be possible to choose which frames to put videos instead of the beginning! It's really not that easy to make animations with the video at the very beginning each time.

Adjust time length of each frames

on behalf of all the people who use flipaclip thank you for making it so we can add music to our animations, but there's another thing you need to do, I we think we should be able to change the time length of each individual frame so we can adjust the timing of our animations, but last time I saw a post like this was four years ago, but now that you're done working on the music part I hope you have time for this

Timing could easily get easier

To make this app even more useful than it already is, there should be an option to hold an individual frame for a customized ammount of seconds. That way, an indivdual frame can easily be edited. Right now that is not so since you must copy a frame multiple times in order to hold. And so, if you decide to make a change, you must do it to each frame you copied. This is an unnessacary nuisance and work could be greatly enhanced if single frames could be held. Hope to see this app become great!

important:please make a function of instance like a tvpaint!!!

instance means "one paper"

instead, exposer means "one frame"

flipacilp has exposer but has not instace

instance is one of important thing for animation

most of professional animator set "fps" to 24fps basically 

and adjust speed and feel with exporser

one instance, two exporser is 12fps  actually 

three exposer? 8fps

four? 6fps 

it is really important !

if you don't understant what I say

refer program called tv paint animation and 

I hope you add this function




Export project to After Effects (or other desktop apps)

Hi,

Exporting FlipaClip project to other formats could be handfull option. This ofcourse should be feature next after making "hold frames" feature which was mentioned in other topic. For After Effects its enough to generate proper java script file nested in one folder with PNG frames, Than running this script in AE will construct exact same project like in FlipaClip. I can help in this as I did once similar stuff.

Exporting to Krita or Photoshop animation layers should be even more amazing - but this I dont know how to do.

Any possibility to continue FlipaClip projects on desktop computer will be superb.

Or Flipaclip Windows and OSX and Linux version? :-)

Frame holds.

It would be awesome (especially for dialogue and sound) if there was a way to set a frame hold for blocking.

It would be nice to customize the duration of each frame, so you would not have to repeat the same frame several times to stay as long as we wanted
Make one frame last longer

I wish I can make one frame as long as I want in one project. Right now, I can copy and paste the picture that I want to use for many frames, but they are all seperate frames. If I want to make changes to the picture, I have to delete all the separate copies, then fix the original one, then copy it for many frames again.——>annoying

Add 3D Touch or long hold feature to preview projects and movies

It would be nice to have a pop up preview of my project before I open it . When I animate I create a lot of copies of the same projects so if I mess up one I go back to another, a previous version of that same one .

We always appreciate all types of feedback! :)

We are actually thinking about this more and more since this would solve those limitations/slowdown of multiple copy/pastes. The concept of keyframes or frame holds is a great one which would allow even better animations that are created faster.

This would be amazing to have, now I often have to change between apps to get the desired result. And end up abandoning the project and use pc applications instead. Flipaclip is such an amazing app but would be even better and with frame hold. 

I really hope it will be implemented soon it would be so useful! :D

Hey Kaz, we have witnessed many users using multiple applications to get the final result the options to hold frames is definitely something that would keep the people focused on FlipaClip : ) Igor

Hi guys,  yeah I literally registered to this just to show my backing for a frame hold feature. Would make life so much easier when animating without having to copy and paste all the time. 

This app is amazing otherwise! 

Thanks

Hey Simon,

This is still a planned feature! We have been really busy with a bunch of areas of the app and we are close to continue working on this particular area.

FlipaClip is a work in progress so we thank you for your patience :)

The feature of holding a frame on the timeline is the main reason I will not teach this app and stay with flipanim instead - for students learning this - this is a must and it’s been on your to do list for the past 4 years. Timing and animation - would have thought these go hand in hand and would have been dealt with first.
