How do you use blur in fights?
you need the stick nodes pro to do that and if you do you tap the node that you want to blur and scroll down until you see the icon that says “blur”
This isn’t a question but… think of the “olden days” when Ralph and Sean had to answer questions about StickNodes to baby animators not ready to give up the diaper. Just ponder…..
How do I delete any stickfigures I upload into the site ?

So I saved all my projects and stuff on Android and I have an iOS now and I can’t open my projects back up I have the files I just don’t know how to move the animations file into sticknodes
Go to the top of the task bar thing, press “send files” and send the files you want to transfer to yourself. Then, open the files on your new device and press “open in sticknodes”
See the thing is I already have the files in my Drive but what I’m struggling to do is to export them to sticknodes, whenever I press open in, and I save it stick nodes there is no option to save it as a project, am I doing something wrong or are my old animations just files that are going to collect dust ?
You need to “save them to files” and then put the files into the stick nodes folder. It should be in the “On device” category.
It worked omg thank you so much you’re awesome
How do you use effects?
You need stick nodes pro for 3 bucks. (Now that’s a good deal!)
