3 hour project deleted

Went to rename a project I had spent 3 hours working on, and when it had been renamed it converted into a folder that was no longer watchable, and I was unable to play the footage back or save the video to my phone. The interface is dreadful and super bummed to have easily lost so much work

Great app!

I really like this app, I am a twelve year old animator who also makes some cool short films and let me tell you this app is perfect for flip book animation, now I’m only giving this four stars because it’s "Pay to unlock all features" which is a bit annoying, but other than that great!

Lack of coloring tools

Where is eye drops? I can’t get the colors I want due to the lack of eye drop, or proper color finding tools, we are trapped with trying to match it using a unreliable and hard rgb
