Best animation app for the iPad!

Out of about 10 animation apps I've tested, this one has the most complete and professional animation features and comes with a fair price and without subscription. The animation features are excellent and the UI allows you to work efficiently. You can work with any resolution and aspect ratio you want, it's completely customizable (enter any number x any number). You can export as h264, GIF and PNG-Sequence. It has most of the things you would get in desktop pro software like TVPaint. They recently added two finger tap undo and audio import for lip syncing, two important productivity improvements. The coloring/painting feature is however still quite basic. Unlike in drawing apps like procreate, that recently added basic animation features, the duration of your animation in this app isn't limited by your iPads RAM, because rough animator renders the animation before replaying in real-time. Very good! So, instead of being limited to just 1 second of animation or less in procreate (because you pick 1080p and use 2-3 layers, which is like the minimum to work reasonably), rough animator doesn't have those restrictions. Especially the lossless PNG-Sequence export option makes this app very useful for professionals. You do your animation sketches on the go and export them as PNG-Sequence. And once you're back in the studio, import them into photoshop or procreate for the coloring or into aftereffects for finalizing the rough animation with vectors. Awesome app for animatics, animation sketches and of course fully colored short GIF loops. Definitely worth the money!

Please add smooth lines option?

Simple and everything I need for simple animation s with an iPad Pro and pencil

I can’t navigate it

topDJinSeattle on

I have used many animating apps as well as video editing tools, and I’m finding this incredibly frustrating. it’s not intuitive in anyway, and when I try to find something to help me navigate it, Im met with more frustration. I wish I hadn’t spent the eight dollars. If I can somehow figure out how to do what im trying to do, I’ll reevaluate my rating and review

I’m confused

I gotcha club! on

Maybe I’m just dumb. But for the life of me, I cannot figure out how the heck to animate things on here can somebody like tell me?😭👋🏼

Great app but it missing more useful tools

Queen Darkselis19 on

Downloading a new bushes didn’t turn out soft what I wanted, it need clipping layers for shading so I don’t jade to erase every single of the outline it would help me finish my animation bit faster. I would also like if it have pixel brush it would be fun as the old days

Best Animation App For IPad

I’ve used rough animator for years. It’s the closest thing to industry standard for an iPad I can find. It also works on Mac. Easy to learn! If you have flipaclip, delete that trash app and buy rough animator immediately. The creator also updates the app! What it’s missing is probably a gradient tool or a blur tool to to give some different texture. Other than that it’s perfect and so much fun to use!
