What's New in Callipeg
2.3.19
December 15, 2024
Restore purchase option was added to 'purchase panel'.
I LOVE how feature rich this app is! Particularly, truly excellent timeline flexibility “ripple editing” sheet lengths, cycle/linked sheets, *awesome* transform curve editor, drawing while my animation plays, linking with the iPhone app, and extensive export options to name a few things. The following are the only wishlist items I hope to see updated someday in order of preference: Either Drawing layers be the same as Transformation layers or Drawing layers have transform properties as well (position/rotation/scale/opacity), more keyboard hotkeys (specifically a keystroke for “Show only this layer”), if possible a color fill feature over multiple frames (like Blender’s grease pencil), effects (blur/distort/stylize), and when exporting to AfterEffects (that alone blows my mind) if the pivot/anchor points for each layer don’t reset in case my animation/AE project has Transformation or “Null” Layers, finally ProRes4444 with alpha channel export. But to reiterate, already a truly awesome app. Can’t wait to do more animating. :)
