Obrigada Stick Animation
I have no idea to Save a Stk File as a 2.2.7, Could someone help me?
Open Pivot 4, import your stickfigure, go to edit it, then save it. When the dialog opens to save it, select “Pivot 2.2.7” (or whatever it says, I forget) in the drop-down below where you enter the filename.
My iPad Air 2 keeps crashing the animation when I try to save around 700 or above frames this is a problem with the apps after I did a hard reset and it still crashes and doesn’t save my work so is there a way I can fix this
Wow
I just got skipped
Ralph still trying to fix that on every update…
Sorry, lol. Not on purpose.
Anyway, the only conclusion I can come to with that information is that you probably reached the memory limit of your device. Some people can get to 1000 or even near 2000 frames, but it depends on how many stickfigures and nodes per frame etc, can eat up memory.
This is why I tell people to split up their large projects, essentially into “episodes”.
I’d recommend starting a new project. Or if you feel like pressing “Delete” a lot, then you can just Save-As the current 700-frame project as a *DIFFERENT* file, then proceed to delete all of the frames before the last one, then continue animating.
If necessary, you can export them both separately and upload them separately or splice them together with some video-editing app.
Thanks I’ll try it
how to download it to youtube
FAQ page to the rescue!
i want to know how to add effects.
Same way you add any stickfigure? There’s nothing special about effects vs backgrounds vs people, they’re all just stickfigures.
Hewwo I new but I only want a simple fight animation
Is there any way to have 2 different BNG backgrounds at different times?
There’s not, technically. But you can use 1 image that is made up of 2, 3, 4 smaller images. Then simply use the vcam to zoom in on one of the regions, it will be as if there are different backgrounds.
No, not yet.
