You can also create animation cycles in separate Pencil2D files and import layers from these files between Pencil2D projects.įor more info on relatively new features please read this article: Make sure you are using the same canvas size in both Firealpaca and camera size in Pencil2D so whatever you import matches between apps.Īt some point it is planned to have animation layered files support, but this is pending research. From FA you can export a sequence of PNG images, and import them to different Pencil2D layers no problem.Ĭonversely you can export PNG sequences form Pencil2D and we recommend using the “Export keyframes only” option so any held / repeated drawings will nto be exported but instead it will export the main keyframes with the appropriate frame number. To save yourself problems later, see also my advice about workflow and saving Firealpaca projects.Įdit: Also adding OpenShot, free, which I tested not long ago. Latest version seems stable and has a nice feature where if you import the first image in a sequentially numbered sequence (such as FireAlpaca onion skin output files) it will ask whether you want to import the sequence as a video clip, and add it as a video clip in the project bin.You can sort of animate in Firealpaca, though it’s a pain. Remember, each second is 24 frames (or 25, or 30, or at the lowest maybe 12, depending on which standard you are working with) that you have to draw. When working with longer animation sequences in Firealpaca, keep in mind that many animations stitch together multiple camera views of no more than 2-8 seconds long, cutting frequently to another view.Įach of these views (a sequence of multiple scenes, or a scene of multiple shots, depending on who you believe) would be a separate FireAlpaca project. FireAlpaca probably cannot handle enough memory for one long continuous animation of considerable length. Personally, I am fond of Corel VideoStudio (commercial software, or in other words, you need to pay for it), although I’ve also heard good things about CyberLink PowerDirector, Magix Movie Edit Pro, and Vegas Movie Studio (formerly from Sony), but never tried them.
I have tried this, image sequences import fine, but not as obvious. HitFilm Express (more complicated but very powerful - lots of good feedback about this one but more of a learning curve).
Here are some video editors which have free versions and can import image sequences:
