Stickpage has flash, pivot and easytoon, with flash and pivot being the main programs. Don't worry about those lol, your still improving

I used to use Pivot when I was a bit younger but I just got bored with all the time I had to spend creating backgrounds and objects (which is difficult when using Pivot's in-built figure builder) and how many days I'd have to spend to get a guy to walk down the street smoothly let alone do an entire animation with some point and action. Professional animating software fills in all the gaps for you which makes constructing an extremely fluid animation a pretty quick job. Pivot just didn't have the animating features that other software offered, and creating animations was a pretty time-consuming, cumbersome, patient and extremely boring job.

I do like your animations despite their choppiness, but nice nonetheless. I can see a progressive improvement. Hope to see some quality animation some day. :>

Thanks. I would really like flash, but it is really expensive. Did you actually buy it elite?

Buy that over-priced piece of junk? Of course not. There are a lot of animation tools that are cheaper than Flash or even completely free sitting around on the web. If you enjoy animating and want to get more serious about the matter you might want to research into some better animation software. :>

*goes to stickpage*


Thats flash.


Psssssst, StickPage also has pivot and easytoon content. And saying it's flash is not an excuse or way to tell someone to gtfo. Lulz, I saw what you did there.

Observations: Your animations are choppy and unrealistic.


Tip(s): Go to StickPage and look for some tutorials. When animating, try to imagine how would a human perform the actions you're trying to animate. Or try to animate according to real life movements. Example: walking. Set your fps above 23 and when animating, try to include the least movement in your frames. Take your time, most animations have between 200 - 1000 frames. Unless your aiming for something a little more complex.

I hope my comment did not bring you down. Keep practising!

Good luck <3

Over priced?

YES.

Piece of junk?

NO.

I think costs that much because of programming capabilities (which I use more than animating) that means it is NOT A PIECE OF JUNK!!!!!!!!

If you think Flash is a piece of junk then all a games on AG.com were made with a piece of junk.

And, If you're clever you can get Flash in a different way which costs nothing. but I won't say more because of rules!!

You can get the 30 day free trial. Or you can find it on the internet for free (Not the trial version)

I can write and run many coding languages in free software, so yes Abode Flash is very overpriced. I don't want to be paying for an IDE when I can use Notepad or something. It is not much different from most other IDEs as far as I can tell - which makes it as useless as most other IDEs - which are pretty useless unless you're doing an extremely large project.

I would love to take this route, but there are certain reasons why a won't.

Give me another one cheaper than flash which can:

Animate with things similar to tweens
Can make websites, applications and games
can be incorporated into a html document
Has a visual interface
A code editor with code highlights for correct spelling of functions
{Soon, In 5 days(i think}Code snippets
Animate frame by frame
go to specific frame at specific times(using code)
A simple coding language which takes no longer than a month to learn fully but with tons of capabilities!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give me another IDE like that

oh yeah, and the ability to code without knowing the language to a certain extent!!!!!!
