Create your videos with Templates

With templates you can create your videos and get inspiration really quick. With templates in the app makes it easy to create animations, even for beginners. Here’s how you can get started with them:

1. Choose a Template: Open the app and go to the templates section. Here, you’ll find various pre-set options to help guide your animation process. Templates typically include background scenes or characters.

2. Take Photos or Use Gallery: Once you’ve chosen a template, you can start taking frame-by-frame photos of your animation subject (like clay figures, drawings, or toys) or use images from your gallery. The app allows easy photo capture, and you can see a translucent overlay of the previous frame to ensure smooth transitions between shots.

3. Edit Your Frames: After capturing the images, you can adjust the frame rate (the speed at which frames are played) and fine-tune the placement of objects. This ensures smoother animation with minimal jarring movements.

4. Add Special Effects: Some templates include options to add effects like sound or text, giving your animation a more polished and dynamic feel.

5. Export and Share: Once your animation is complete, you can export the video and share it directly on social media platforms from the app.

This app is particularly good for beginners, offering an intuitive and fun way to explore animation. It supports features like frame-by-frame shooting and the ability to align objects precisely with the transparent overlay feature, making it ideal for creative projects.
