Description - 4+

Animate allows you to create professional quality 2D animations on the iPad and Mac! Enjoy creating animations on the go with iPadOS, or sit down with a powerful desktop computer with MacOS. Features of Animate include:

Canvas:
- Animate uses the custom-built Canvas5 drawing engine for rendering drawings.
- Make selections, draw with different tools, and import images.

Timeline:
- Familiar design to many professional animation apps, which makes the learning curve extremely low.
- Scrub through your animation by sliding your finger across the top of the timeline!
- Break up your animation into layers and scenes for better organization.

Symbol Library:
- Keep a global collection of commonly used drawings for use in different projects.
- Create symbols using the selection tool.
- Useful for things like lip synching or character designs.

Data:
- All Animate projects are stored internally within the app.
- Export to .mov, .mp4, and .animate files into your photo library or the Files app.
- With the .animatedoc file format, you can open projects on your iPad and Mac by simply choosing the "Import from File" option when creating a new project.
