Animator’s Reference Counter vs Vector Flow

Animator's Reference Counter (or ARC) is a tool to help animators time keyframes and tween frames when planning an animation.

**Vector Flow** is a vector drawing and animation app that lets you sketch shapes and strokes, bring them to life with a full keyframe timeline, and export to the formats your project needs. ## DRAW • Pen, line, and Bézier tools for freehand and precise paths • Rectangle (with adjustable corner radius), oval, and circle shapes • Bucket fill and eraser • Variable-width strokes with editable thickness along the path • Edit paths by moving nodes and control points, including full 360° editing on circles • Convert circles into editable arcs and restore them at any time • Merge multiple shapes into a single path • Undo, redo, and multi-select support ## ANIMATE • Full keyframe timeline for creating smooth animations • Animate position, rotation, scale, color, corner radius, path shape, and arc properties • Record gestures directly into keyframes while editing • Onion skinning for frame-by-frame animation • Scrub, preview, loop, and define a custom work area ## IMPORT & EXPORT • Export static artwork as SVG and Vector Drawable files • Export animations as Lottie JSON and Animated Vector Drawable (AVD) files • Export images as PNG and JPG • Import previously exported Lottie and AVD files for further editing • Save and reopen projects using Vector Flow project files A one-time purchase unlocks export features permanently on your device. No subscription required. Whether you're creating icons, UI animations, illustrations, or quick vector sketches, Vector Flow brings drawing and animation together in a single, streamlined workspace.
