I think it would be nice to be able to draw outside the canvas like you can in adode animate CC !! And when you press the play button/export the video, whatever's outside of the canvas is hidden

Be able to draw outside the canvas

if you were able to draw outside the canvas then users could expand more of their creativity and make the animating progress easier for them

Update suggestion

As a suggestion for an update, it would be really useful if we could draw outside of the canvas, this is very useful for many animators so I think it might be a good idea!

Work outside the canvas

If we could draw outside the canvas and it wouldn’t disappear, that would be cool

Outside Canvas update

Hey FlipaClip? This idea I had was the ability to draw something outside the canvas of your project so the drawing isn’t cut on the edge when I select it. This would be great to implement into your app, and hopefully you’ll respond. Thank you!

Drawing outside Art board or frame

The art board or frame should be the live area while drawings and designs can live outside. You can’t pan left/right/up/down  or zoom in/out without drawing a new drawing for every frame. 

It would be very helpful if you are making a quick storyboard or exploring or playing with ideas.

Draw outside frame

(I think someone has asked for this already but I’m trying to explain it and the features it could have.) I came up with this idea that you could be able to draw outside of the frame! I feel that this could save you quite a bit of time when it comes to moving anything without increasing or decreasing it’s size. You could select a coordinate outside the frame to create a ‘barrier’ and so you couldn’t draw outside that barrier, then you could select a different coordinate on another side of the frame and when you have completed all sides, you would have a square that gives you more space outside of the frame. You could also be able to select and change the shape of it so you have enough room to actually draw in. Again, I just think that this could save quite a bit of time off of peoples hands and it could be quite helpful to a lot of people! I have seen this feature on another animating/drawing software (I cant think of the name right now -.-) and it seems like a really useful feature to have! Thanks for reading this!

Drawing outside of the frame in flipaclip

This feature could really improve flipaclip in my opinion. It'll allow you to move your art around without having to touch up lines every time and give you more space to work. Someone posted this idea a year ago but seeing as that didn't go anywhere, I figured I'd suggest the idea again.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's where you are able to draw outside the area that is your canvas for the animation. It's a feature included with more professional animation programs, like Adobe Animate.

Background

Drawing off the canvas 

- Say if we wanted a moving background. It would be good if we can draw off the canvas and the drawing can stay there. So while the drawing stays there we can use the lasso tool to move the background

Blending Tool

- If we need to blend colors for the background, it would help with a blending tool instead of using the eraser tool.

Drawing out of screen/change placement of screen

It would be very nice if we were able to draw out of screen. For this, when you see the video, you won’t be able to see the parts drawn out of the screen. You can also change the placing of the screen. It would make it easier to use as I often have a hard time having to smaller the drawing then draw the excess for making the camera pan out effect.

Being able to draw outside canvas

I think it will make things easier when you need to animate something that is outside of the frame and then the canvas will have a border that will show what will appear on the canvas when it’s exported

Good idea! At the moment you could bypass this by finishing the desired animation on the canvas and then move the frames outside later ;)

A pen stabilizer would help, too.

Hey Talia, a stabilizer is a planned feature. You can follow the progress on this topic :)
