My biggest problem with flipaclip is the lack of brush choices.

[@ScorchedLavender]

That’s mine too- there’s not very much by way of shading or blurs or anything common in other programs. Fair enough to use if you’re doing flat color, but shading and effects are hard to do

[@da359]

Yeah. A lot of people blur by moving the image up and down which can get really annoying.

[@sweetthetooth4325]

Yeah I hate the pen brush, I use the highlighter for lineart

[@childharvester8131]

[@Northflowo]

Once you've seen the video, please give me your opinions of which version of the meme I should upload (or both?? or both in the same video????) Also, I have a lot of comments about the fact that flipaclip HAS pen pressure - I meant that *I don't have pen pressure* because I don't have a stylus. The pen I used in the video is literally just one of those pens that have a tip for using touch screens.

As a long term flipaclip animator, it personally annoys me that there isn't a clipping layer. I use it alot in my usual art and animating without it can be annoying when shading. Also not being able to reverse merging a layer. That's messed me up too many times. But to be honest you get use to it after awhile and it's not so bad.

[@MATOGAST.]

RIGHT??? there should be clipping

[@r0cky_r0ki]

It would be so helpful to have a clipping mask!

[@m_artroom]

We should go spam FlipaClip about it, also, kinda annoying that you can’t paint bucket of a different layer. To be fair a it’s a beginners program but still clipping masks aren’t too complicated

[@MATOGAST.]

I've also wanted some sort of airbrush and yeah, the paint bucket and the layers would be so helpful

[@violetfern1427]

I usually just duplicate the lineart layer and fill it in so the lineart is still neat

[@d1zzybees791]

For some reason, before North said she was doing the Hay meme, I swear I'd thought "Hmm, the Hay meme is funky, I should watch some after this" I'm also suprised on how well the animation came out! Great job, North! As for which version to upload, I like the edited one!

As a beginner animator, I think Flipaclip would be a good idea for newbies. Then onto the other stuff like FireAlpaca etc. It just seems more simpler for me. But when I made a fan animation for a youtuber Croc, it bugged out and said "Error" and exitted me from the project. Once I re-entered the project everything was bugged out and I was scared I was gonna lose all my hard work. But after turning off my laptop, it worked again.

One thing I HATE with flipaclip is that you have to watch and ad to put music. Now im all fine with that. I'm the one who doesn't want to pay, I can't blame them. BUT alot of the times it glitches and doesn't put my audio clip in so I have to retry multiple times. The problem is that I have to watch an ad every single time which makes it take like five minutes just to put a 30 audio clip in. Also a way to make sure you don't color the background white is to make it a very light gray while you're animating and change it back when your done. That way you don't color things white you don't want or miss areas that should be white.

A tip for FlipaClip (since I use it all the time) is to go into a room that you normally record in with no bg noise, and record the audio from your computer. I use this tip and for me because I have a lot of bg noise it not that good but you seem to have nit a lot of bg noise so I recommend

I just recently got a pen some months ago, and it still is pain, so seeing that im not the only picky person with flipaclip feels very good. Also may i ask how do you manage to keep motivation with big projects like this one? I always end up loosing motivation early on and i always wonder how other people manage xd.
