DoodLoop

DoodLoop runs on iPhone now, it speaks two more languages, and selections grew into a full transform kit. NOW ON IPHONE The same DoodLoop, the whole of it, on the phone in your pocket. Nothing was cut to fit: every brush, every layer, the timeline, audio and export are all there. The tool panel turns into a bar over the canvas where there is no width to spare, and you can drag it to the top or the bottom to suit how you work. Turn the phone on its side and it goes back to being a column beside the canvas, because sideways it is height that is short, not width. Tap the arrows in the top bar and the bars get out of the way altogether, leaving nothing but canvas. IN YOUR LANGUAGE DoodLoop is now in Spanish and Portuguese as well as English. Every brush name, every menu, every prompt, and the getting-started guide too. SELECT IT, THEN DO ANYTHING TO IT One tap grabs everything on the current layer, or lasso just the part you want. Move it, resize it, squash and stretch it along one axis, rotate it, flip it. And now: pull it into perspective. A new corner-pin mode on the selection bar lets you drag each corner on its own, for signs, screens, and cast shadows. However long you experiment, DoodLoop keeps resampling from the pixels you first picked up, so nothing goes muddy before you tap Done. Changed your mind? There is a Cancel button now, and it puts everything back exactly as it was. HOLDS YOU CAN SET Touch and hold a frame and give it a hold: it stays on screen for two, three, or twelve steps, and its badge says so in the strip. The player, the audio playhead, and every export now count held frames the same way, so what you preview is what you get. CHANGE THE FRAME RATE ANY TIME The fps chip above the timeline changes a project's frame rate after creation. No frames are added or dropped: the same drawings just play faster or slower. DRAG FRAMES INTO ORDER Reorder frames by dragging them in the Frames Viewer, the way you always expected to. MERGE LAYERS Merge Down bakes a layer onto the one below, on every frame, exactly as it looks on the canvas: opacity, blend mode, and clipping included. It asks first, because it touches the whole project. NOTES ON A FRAME Touch and hold a frame and write yourself a line about it: "extreme pose here", "fix the left hand". The frame carries a small badge so you can find it again. Notes are never drawn on your artwork and never appear in an export, and they are free. The hand-drawn markup you scribble on a frame is now called an annotation, so the two are easy to tell apart: an annotation is drawn on the frame, a note is written about it. THE TOOL PANEL FOLLOWS YOUR FINGER Dragging the panel used to move it at half your finger's speed, so a drag across the screen left it stranded in the middle, and it could snap back to the side it came from. It tracks one-to-one now.
