How to make the gif into a video
So that I can post it to YouTube
Please see the FAQ section here.
How do I add watermarks?
There’s no direct way of doing that. Your best bet would be to just use a textfield or something, scale it down, and place it in the corner of your animation.
I always read “Textifiled”
I do too!
How do I add sound in the Android version?
Well you need to have the Pro version, look under “Frame Tools” in the left-side menu.
I use mobizen too
How do u save animations to my camera roll on my iPhone. It only saves a picture and not a full video
well do you have the free version or exported to GIF because you need a GIF viewer if you have pro version or you didn’t exported to the other option anyway get GIF viewer if you have a GIF exported animation
other option = MP4
Can we add sound in our animation?
YES!!! well if you have a galaxy phone or any other way
Yep, the Pro version has sounds (on Android only at the moment, iOS version is still under development).
mmhm is it possible to like move the rectangle frame around the background? because if it is possible, plz tell me how. If not, then can you plz make one.
last thing, can you also make a system where u can save a file and use it again in stick nodes?
It’s not possible to move that, sorry, I get what you’re asking though. The “camera” is stationary.
What do you mean by your second question though?
well i think its annoying each time i made some unfinished animation, it just reset and i will have to restart it from scratch….so maybe a saved file so i can open it in the apps?
You can save projects, though. There are Save/Save As and Open buttons at the top of the left-side menu under “Project Tools”.
o sorry, i overlooked the button “open”
Lol, yeah, that would be an important button right there.
How do you make iT look like THE stick is opening a box
You just kinda, you know, animate it. Look up “pivot tutorials” on Youtube to see general stickfigure animation tutorials. They’ll help you.
