A FlipaClip alternative for your computer

FlipaClip is a frame-by-frame drawing app for phones and tablets: draw each frame with onion skin, stack layers, add sound, and export a video or a GIF. There's no official web or Windows version, and the free app has ads and a watermark. smooth.video isn't a drawing app and animates a different way: you place text, images, shapes and drawings, move them at points in time, and it makes the frames in between.

When smooth.video fits better

You're on a computer, and your animation is things that move rather than drawings that change: a title, a logo, a sticker, a photo, a character cut into pieces that slide and turn.

When FlipaClip fits better

You want to draw: a character that walks, a flipbook, a rotoscoped clip, frame after frame with a stylus and onion skin. smooth.video has no frame-by-frame drawing.

Questions

Is there a FlipaClip for PC?
FlipaClip is made for phones, tablets, Chromebooks and Apple silicon Macs, with no official web or Windows version. smooth.video runs in a recent browser, on Windows too.
Can I draw in smooth.video?
Yes, with a simple brush: the drawing becomes an image you can move, scale, rotate and fade. You can't draw a different picture on every frame.
Is there a watermark?
No, and there are no ads.
