Simply put, FlipBook is the fastest, easiest and most affordable 2D animation software you can buy. It does everything you need to produce broadcast quality animated movies as good or better than what you see on TV.

FlipBook Lite
FlipBook Lite is our entry-level program for anyone who is interested in animation. It's perfect for stop-motion, cut-out and hand drawn animation. And it now includes our $99 Camera FX upgrade absolutely free. It lets you scan, shoot or even draw your images directly into the computer where the images are automatically positioned in either the foreground or the background of the traditional exposure (timing) sheet with up to 300 frames and are ready for immediate playback. Then while the scene is playing, you can synch up the soundtrack and easily adjust the timing between drawings to get everything frame perfect. Then you can paint your scenes add pans and zooms and create standard Windows AVI files that can be sent via email, posted on the internet or recorded onto videotape, CD-ROM or DVD and played with any media player.

Hand-Drawn Animation
Even FlipBook Lite, our entry-level program for aspiring animators has many powerful features to simplify and speed up the process of drawing your animated movies. A single keystroke can copy any image into the next frame so you don't have to draw it again and again. Then you can either add to the image or erase part of it and draw your changes. You can even cut the image and paste it back in with scaling and rotation to make it change from frame to frame.

What lets us price it so low is that it is limited to two levels, (a foreground and background) and a maximum of 300 frames). But even though you may not be able to produce the next "Disney Style" blockbuster, there's a lot you can do and it's the best way to get started.
