The ibis paint animation update is just free FlipaClip premium, basically (but better) - a review

Hope you guys like this :))

My main issue is that you can't use youtube size aspect ratios, but I could probably just crop the animation in a way that makes it the ratio I want? Idk but it's nice being able to use it. I tried to use flipaclip in the past a few times and I hated the locked number of layers and the tiny brush selection. And there's also what you mentioned about it being difficult to draw in flipaclip

[giftedproductions]

Flipaclip is still more accommodating for animation. Why? Number one, the free aspect ratios are too small to be used in any professional or serious way, which is highlighted by the fact that in free flipaclip, you still have many more options. There also aren't any audio options. The layer problem that you pointed out is important, because it makes layering much more tedious.
I do believe that with ibis is much better than flipaclip when it comes to drawing, but if you plan on animating anything with much more efficient quality of life, flipaclip is for you.
However, if you have the money at your disposal and plan on animating, you should just save up for a good drawing tablet and animation program. Some are very complex, but worth it for the final animation. Regardless, if you want an all in one animation app without further editing or serious pay, flipaclip is for you. If you want to just animate for fun, or want to pay money to get better aspect ratios, but dont have problems with extra out-of app editing, ibis paint is for you.
Nothing is one-size fits all, and everyone has different preferences.

I love having to painstakingly go through each individual frame one by one to delete/hide the sketch layers because none of them are connected to each other

I completely agree, ibis doesn't have many features that you have to pay for because it is all free. In topsoil it feels more limited and ibis has featured that flipaclip doesn't have like duration instead of copying each frame. And all your work is amazing!

my opinion in short: Ibispaint is better for art. Flipaclip is more efficient for animation.

[maybe_eden]

in my opinion ibispaint is pretty good they just need to add a audio putting feature and a video putting feature and its perfect

[im_.a-bear]

Honestly, ibispaint is probably the best drawing app ever, it’s simple and very nice.

[Luna_moona]

Also the custom brushes! We had a limit of brushes in flipaclip but now we have custom, imported, and a *WIDE* range of basic brushes

[Es_gee]

Personally, i like both. I was first exposed to animating thanks to flipaclip(and managed to make a bunch of them), at the same time, ibispaint helps me draw abd sgade the characters exactly how i had in mind

[DoritotheAxolotl]

I prefer FlipaClip because
-good project ratios for yt
-audio option
-nice layout for actual animating (like frame selector etc..)
-better for making long animations

I like the ibispaint tool but it just feels like it shouldn’t be an animation program.

the way you so effortlessly draw the hair is both calming but also depressing

[CClovesTWD]

It does look really amazing I really like it :) good job! 😋

[APPLSAUX]

YOUR ARTSTYLE REMINDS ME OF DORK DIARIES FOR SOME REASON WHATTA

[mynameisvincent.]

my main issue is that there isnt an audio feature. i wanna make small animations to songs 🙁

[Zurek_Cus_Yea]

I dislike it because of the frame size and the fact that you can't add sound (which is very important unless you want a very off-tune animation)

[guardian_demon]

I just wish you had a YouTube size aspect ratio and a way to add audio 😭

[ardenbalzer]

I would probably add a multi frame select, frame numbers, an audio feature, and a layer sync and unsync. But other than that, I really love the ibisPaint animation feature! I was so happy when I found out about it, since I didn't like Flipaclip, and have been using ibisPaint for so long.

[sincerealev]

I don't use Ibis Paint, mainly cuz I never figured it out and never felt accommodated to it, but gosh, does this look great!! I definitely see the hype around the animation feature now :D Plus, your animations/artstyle look so cute!! Great video!!
Also, idk if its my brain playing games with me, but is the background music a lofi cover of "Let Down" by Radiohead? (I'm assuming you like Radiohead as well since at the beginning of the video there's a drawing of presumably you using a shirt with the band logo!! <3)

[Shire_Loaf]

it's good n all... the issue for me is, I'm used to animating music and I wish ibis had the music adding feature :,
also it's kinda hard for me bcs of the canvas size it's not big enough for me wheeze

[silhouettemoth]

I think flipaclip is such a time eater when it comes to coloring, so it makes working on projects such a turn off for someone like me, who has trouble staying focused for extended periods of time
so ibis having the feature to color directly on a second layer is really making me consider it ^^

sidenote, your art style is so nostalgic to me, it feels like an animated short on PBS Kids, super warm and welcoming, keep it up 💙
