Draw freely, then replay every stroke. Paint Drawing Video lets you draw with pens and brushes, save a drawing on your device, and watch how it was made. • Round and square pens and five brushes • A 20-colour palette with RGB controls • Adjustable size and opacity, plus an eraser • One on-device save slot • Stroke-by-stroke replay • A movable tool panel and landscape layout The in-app Community Gallery is for adults 18 or older. Adults can browse moderator-approved drawings, replay their drawing order, and choose to submit a drawing saved on their device with a title and display name after accepting the posting rules. Submissions appear in the app’s gallery and on the gallery website only after moderator approval. You can report a work or creator, hide a creator, or withdraw your own submission. Your drawing is never uploaded automatically. Age setup is required on first launch. Your exact age is not saved; an age group is kept on your device to adjust ads. Viewing and posting in the in-app gallery are available only to adults. A banner may appear in Settings or the menu. Under-18 users see no full-screen ad before replay. Adults see a notice before an ad may appear, at most once every 10 minutes, and can choose whether to continue. Playback starts immediately when no ad can be shown. Ads are not shown while drawing or during playback. You can draw after age setup even if you decline advertising consent. Replay takes place inside the app. It does not export video files or save images to Photos. Compatible drawings saved by the previous version are imported when the original data is still available.
