Oh, but Ralph, i have been waiting for my stickfigures to be released. It’s been a while actually.
Yeah, sorry about that. I’m currently at submissions that were emailed to me around July 4-8th, so I’m working my way through it. So many submissions, and it takes about 2.5 hours to get 20 uploaded, so I only do it every couple days.
Hey raph and sugeren for an upragde make some esffecs like ligth,shadow or others
I’m not sure if “Raph” And “Sugeren” would understand what you just said.Please try to spell stuff right.I think you mean light and shadow,but maybe something better,a fadeout effect.It would be awesome.

That’s awesome to hear!
How do you post your animation to youtube fullscreen
Ralph I play on kindle fire and pivot keeps crashing when I’m making a pivot please fix that. I finished my goku pivot and it crashed and I forgot to save. It took me back to the middle of the project it was thirty minutes long. I’m gonna make the foul pivot on my computer. But how do I drag my pivot file to my computer?
You said Pivot a very incorrect number of times.
But seriously, I’m sorry if you’re running into issues. What exactly are you doing when the app crashes?
And what do you mean when you ask about dragging a file to your computer? You can’t use Stick Nodes on a computer or open a Stick Nodes file in Pivot if that’s what you’re asking.
When I’m on the app I’m animating my Goku vs buu fight. And then suddenly the app stops and freezes sometimes and then let’s me animate but now it stops and freezes and clicks me off the app for no reason. Wondering why it does that but I keep trying to animate but first time when I click on the frame it freezes and clicks me off which sucks please fix this. It still crashes. When I tried to use just now it crashes. And I was exactly animating when I clicked on one frame it crashed. Please fix it. Lots of users are having the same problem and im on kindle fire
I suspect it’s a memory limit issue, how many frames is the current project you’re working on?
1132 frames
My current project I’m working on frames is 1132
That is a lot. Some devices can handle that, but others like yours I suspect start to have memory issues.
It’s best to probably keep your projects less than that in your case.
I’ll continue to try to prevent things like this, but they’re really just inevitable due to the nature of the app (so many frames and stickfigures per frame and nodes per stickfigure to be stored in memory).
Make a “part 2” project file when things start to get big.
Ok I will make a part 2. I’m making cell games now.
Oh nice, the Cell Games would be interesting to see animated.
Thanks
