I use the free version,but if I got bored of it I would get the pro version with my own money,but whatever you do,stop limiting the free version,because if people just wanna animate stuff,they might want a similar but somewhat less of it(different experience using them to animate.
The thing different between the free and pro is that pro can export mp4 and have sounds( cause you know GIF’s can’t have sounds)
Only* for all you grammar Nazi’s
I know I’m asking for too much!,but PLEASE make a way for people on mobile devices to upload videos on stick nodes!,At least make a search engine for stick nodes animations!
Go to animation alpha. We could use the vids there
You can export your GIFs and still share them with others, like Hawkilla suggested, check out http://animationalpha.com and the forums.
You can also convert your GIFS to video with other apps or use a desktop program like Windows Movie Maker or iMovie.
How?
How to convert your videos? Search for a “convert gif to video” app, that would probably be the easiest way.
Ralph i make an animaton on my tablet.
But i export it (mp4 with sounds) only green screen.
Nothing here, only i see a green screen and hear some sounds.
Hey Berke. Did you leave the app as it was exporting? What happens if you export it again (try it at a smaller resolution so it goes faster) – still green? What happens if you export it with the “no sounds” button instead?
Sorry, all this information helps me. I appreciate it.
no its fully exported.
and still green.
i try no sound button but still green.
only green screen nothing here only i can hear sounds.
i know i use so much only word lol.
Hm, weird. Did you ever export an MP4 before and have it work correctly? And you didn’t leave the app as it was exporting?
And you’re using that new Android tablet, right?
(Just trying to narrow everything down so I can figure this out, because I’ve seen others report a green screen too, though it doesn’t happen for me.)
Thats new, android lolipop 5.0.2 tablet.
And no every export was green.
And i dont leave or close the screen.
(Press the export button and put tablet on the table)
Sorry just to clarify, you never exported an MP4 before even in previous versions of the app (even before sounds were added).
I’m going to be looking into this because like I said others have mentioned it.
If you want, I’d be happy to export the animation for you and send it back, just email me the STKNDS file to [email protected] and I’ll get it back to you so you can upload it in the meantime.
Ralph i send it, but dont export it.
Only watch it is that good animaton.
How do you share an animation (ex: Facebook)?
After you export it, find the animation in your Gallery/Photos and share it like you would any other image/video.
Could I have an animation alpha account,it requires math,
That’s Sean’s site, but the math isn’t that hard, is it?
No, normally 7+4 type stuff.
Still have to work out why people aren’t getting their activation emails for the forum though.
Please put the kindle price down!!,I was trying to buy it for 99¢
Do I really have to pay 2 dollars just for the same game with sounds!?
Well, I spent many months developing the app by myself so I’d appreciate it 😀
I’m not saying it’s sucks?!
I didn’t say you did.
If only there were a way to put my gif here,I put my other gif on deiveint art in my mbridgewater account
This isn’t really the place to show off your animations, check out http://AnimationAlpha.com instead, ever get your account created?
Probably not, I really don’t know why it won’t send the activation emails 🙁
You mean you keep telling people to sign up for AA and it doesn’t even work Sean come on please.
I just need someone to do it for me!,I tried and lost a lot of name choices
Yeah Sean’s working on a fix.
