Animation Paper

Thanks for the question. Currently we do require your system to be online at the time of activation. As you already experienced, we do not require you to be online every time you use AP, but once in a while it must be able to validate. We have a system in place to do some on manual basis. Email me!

Custom shortcuts is one of the top issues on our todo list. Coming soon. In the meantime take a look at customising your Speed Dials or Tool Bar.

Well, I've used @animationpaper.com for a good week or two, and I'm very impressed with the program. I look forward to see how it develops as time goes one. This animation is still a WIP, but I enjoyed working on it in my free time & playing around. I'll come back to complete this, maybe someday.

OK, then it’s not just me not finding them :) thanks :) If you have any questions or just things you are (or were) confused about with the design/functionality of Animation Paper please let me know. We are of course still shaping it.

Hi ManicR! I would love to watch your streams about Animation Paper. But they are in the middle of the night for me. Is there a way I can watch later? When I'm looking there's no videos in your inventory - but it's probably just me being old :D Please help :) Thanks, Niels

Yes, you can easily export transparent png’s. Go to the menu File > Export > Frames and make sure to check “Include Alpha”.

That’s great! Also I can recommend looking through the drop down menus to orient your self. And reading the keyboard shortcut list is interesting too, because you will discover a lot, including functionality not reachable elsewhere.

No problem, I mean, the available tutorials are super old anyway, so kind of outdated. I was talking about new tutorials that are in production as we speak. They will turn out great. But the old ones, though outdated, will be helpful to watch for the basics I’m sure.

After copy/pasting a drawing you can lose the connection to the original drawing by hitting O. This turns the current drawing into an Original and therefore you can change it all you want without anything else updating.

Add tools to the ToolBar: Go to the menu Window > Customize Tool Bar.

To drag drawings in the X-Sheet: X-Sheet > Slide Mode. Or hit shortcut T to Toggle the mode (between Add Clones/Slide mode).

OK thanks. Actually all that is in Animation Paper already. If I had just finished the video tutorials, you would have known ;)

Nice work! Thanks for the mention. I am curious - what was the most tricky part (or parts) to figure out? Maybe we can do something about it ;) Thanks, Niels

Alright let's test the video upload. Have this little Azuryt test!

Cool! That is noted. Thanks!

Yes, as mentioned on the site, there’s already a clever and subtle stabiliser working in Animation Paper. But if you are looking for a more conventional and bold smoothing feature, it is on our list of possible things to add in a future update.

Yeah :) The reason I didn't mentioned Linux in my post above (which I regret), is because at the time of writing the Linux build was a couple of days delayed. Anyway, we are proud to support Linux and the beta is there now :) Enjoy! Thanks, Niels

had a lot of fun trying out Animation Paper on stream! @animationpaper.com

it's a very intuitive, no-nonsense frame by frame animation program that i'd love to play around with more. and right now it's free!

Wow! That’s great work! 👏👏🤗

I've barely animated anything since college uhh...
*checks watch*
15 years ago. (yikes)
But I installed Animation Paper and made a fun little goopey blob! I'm so happy to find an easy software for just jumping in and doodling. Low friction tools make play so much easier!

It's been a LONG time since I animated something. I tried Animation Paper and it actually feels great drawing in it. Will definitely use it more to practice animating again.

@animationpaper.com

Cool! Thanks for showing this! I hope you get much enjoyment from Animation Paper. Best, Niels

I’ve animated this scene just for fun using Animation Paper software for hand-drawn animation. One of the best user-friendly animation software options, I think.
Rıdvan Çevik thank you for your support my friend!

Yeah I know. This feed is basically just showing content from a list of certain related hashtags. Sometimes the content can be less relevant - depending on how the people posting use their hashtags. There might be a way for me to set it up to filter off the irrelevant posts - I’m not sure.

I think I’ve succeeded in setting up this Bluesky feed for all things handdrawn animation related. Hopefully it works :) Enjoy!

Top art school, Ringling College of Art and Design, in Florida, teaches animation using Animation Paper. Here's a scene by student Katherine Adams. 🙌👍
