"Finger Painting Animator" is a software for creating 2D graphic animations and movies. The procedure for creating the movie is as follows: 1) Start a new project (giving it a name) 2) Load a background image (if desired) 3) Draw the scene to be animate with your fingers (using the tools provided: freehand drawing, color filling, airbrush, transparency, brushes with variable width, CAD tools such as line, grid, etc...) 4) Specify the scene duration (each scene can have a different duration) and save the scene 1 (keyframe 1) 5) Switch to the scene 2, edit the scene 1 using the editing tools provided (ZOOM, PAN, SCALE, ROTATE, COPY, TRANSFORM, JOIN CONTROL POINTS, MOVE, DELETE, MODIFY COLOR, WIDTH, TRANSPARENCY, etc…) or add new elements or characters to the scene and save the scene 2 (keyframe 2) 5) Create all necessary keyframes for your movie (2D animation: N 2D animation scenes, N keyframes) 6) Start the graphics engine to create the 2D animation movie: the software will automatically create the intermediate frames (inbetweens) interpolating and animating (tweening) the control vertices of the drawn keyframes (keyframing) and adding fades where needed.
