Hi everyone!
First of all, congratulations for all the news regarding the animation feature, it is really useful.
As a professional animation designer I would like to ask you for a feature that I personally consider essential to use Artstudio Pro professionally on iPad.
Currently, like most iPad animation apps, Artstudio Pro structures the animation timeline into layer groups:
FRAME 1
Layer1
Layer2
Layer3
...
FRAME 2
Layer1
Layer2
Layer3
...
FRAME 3
Layer1
Layer2
Layer3
...
This is very inconvenient for those who, working with frame by frame animation, have to color many frames using multiple layers because they are disconnected from each other and each time you have to open / close groups, select the level etc ...
On the other hand a structure like the following would be much faster and comfortable:
LAYER 1 – Frame1, Frame2, Frame3 ...
LAYER 2 – Frame1, Frame2, Frame3 ...
LAYER 3 – Frame1, Frame2, Frame3 ...
A sort of horizontal timeline, similar to software like Krita or Adobe Animate for example.
One of the rare iPad animation apps that uses this type of structure I refer to is called iArtbook and can be found on the App Store.
If you could add this kind of timeline I think many animators would be thrilled :-)
I hope I have explained myself better and thank you for reading me!
