This is the first (that I have seen) Avi producing animator (well, with the exception of BMG). The special features of this program are:
  • The ability to add a stick man (anti-aliased lines) with pivot points, similar to the actual pivot program.
  • The ability to import images from a variety of image types, these are fully rotatable (click+left/right)!
  • A coloured onion skin feature to know where to move your objects.

Now, I know it isn't the prettiest of things, but hey.

Because people could abuse it and make the discussion confusing to anybody who didn't see the posts before the were deleted.

Anyway, I like your program. The UI is nice (reminds me of the Adobe CS4 interface), and it's simple and intuitive! 9/10.

Thanks ev149! Yes, it is inspired by the Adobe AfterEffects interface. Thanks for the rating. smile.gif

EDIT:
I am goint to add a painting system so you can animate with drawing if you want!

Big Update:
Now you can rotate imported images and actually grab them by the sprite, as before it was a square mask that did not rotate with the sprite!
Soon i will implement a resizing system

I've looked at the GM Program called 'Skeleton' and I tink I will try and replicate some of its features (like add images to the stickman and stuff!)
I've already added images (yes! Started 3 days ago really), now I will make the stick people editable (the very difficult bit)...

This is pretty nice!
It has a few disadvantages, but its really nice!
Pitty the export as avi doesn't work.
Other than that it really is useful!

What I would like to see:
Tweening (Thats allot of work!)
An option to move the animation as it is, not with any physics, maby you just want it on a difrent position.
Adding more than only 1 stickman.
Adding a background or other objects to create a "scene". Not be limited to just one image.
Somehow showing you how many frames you have and show a quick overview of what is going on in each of the frames.
The ability to create your own stickman figure.

Add those and it will be the best thing ever!

I'd probably give it 8/10
Sonica2
Well, your in luck zappy, editing frames is on the way, and i agree with making your own stickman, so that is happening. Tweening..... it can be done!

I'd like to see a bones creation feature as well, unless that's what you meant by creating your own stick figures. otherwise, great job so far. I've been wanting an easy to use animator, so hopefully this is it!
Sonica2
that is exactly what i mean
Sonica2
Secret progress-images on stickman is done and multiple stickmen are allowed

Bump:

When I upload the new version, it will have gone through MANY changes, so it might look very different
