Please give it a try and let me know what you think - is our original response:) Your result will be the intersecting area of what you paint and what is non-transparent in your original image. (I don't want to use the puppets that are preinstalled I have my own puppets.)ĮDITED TO UPDATE: we’ve just released a version with support for transparency - you can import a png file with transparency and that transparency will be respected! So you can paint quite roughly with a large brush behind the puppet edges, and your original clean edges will be preserved. You're adding an ugly grey background to an image that has no background! So how does the app developer upload/ install their own puppet presets with a CLEAN transparent background? Because I don't see any tacky, rough edges on their puppets □□. I noticed that when I upload my own personal puppets (that have transparent backgrounds by-the-way) instead of the app actually allowing you to use your puppet as is, the app CONCEALS the puppet behind a grey filter and you have to literally remove that grey filter by unshading a puppet that is already drawn! The result is an ugly rough edged messy joke from what was originally uploaded. Using your own puppets is a major headache! Thanks again, I'll keep at it and I hope you continue to enjoy it. Plus I'd love to see what sort of things you're making! And I can share with you some workarounds for the lack of transparency support, which you may find helpful in the meantime. Please feel free to email me at for follow-up - I'll try to figure that out and address it. Also, I wasn't aware of the issue with having to turn your iPad upside down. I'm just trying to finish up some other stuff that was requested before that. Thank you so much for your kind words! Is it wrong that my favorite thing is that you called me "cool"? :) I'm so glad you like the improvements, and yes I definitely plan to do the png thing. Also, would love to see us be able to use transparent pngs so we don’t have to cut. I still have trouble on my iPad Pro (original) where the gyro won’t adjust and I have to turn my iPad upside-down. ![]() The developer is a cool mom and entrepreneur. This app has been constantly improving albeit slowly due to the time and energy it takes to build these apps. (Teachers say they prefer it to stop motion animation because it's so much easier and faster.) It's a great open ended creative activity for children, supports ISTE standards, and is a great way to integrate the arts into any academic subject for a more engaging class.

On our website and social media you'll find more project ideas, educational support, and lesson plans for teachers and homeschooling parents. * In-app streaming tutorials and activities - guiding kids through using the app for visual storytelling, and teaching them how to create various physical art pieces and animate them. * Export and share videos with audio - save a video of your puppet show, complete with the audio of your performance, locally and also to social media, cloud storage, or any other typical sharing method. * Choose from our designs - the app comes with a bunch of cool puppets and backgrounds already in it, in a cute hand drawn style that you can mix and match with your own creations. * Create your own backgrounds - use a painting you made, a diorama, some interesting place, or anything else you want as your background. * Create your own puppets - bring to life your physical artwork, your favorite toys, a person or animal, random stuff like your snacks arranged as a character, really anything you like! * Animate one or two puppets - you can have one puppet on its own, or two puppets where both can move and you can control which one is talking at any time. ![]() ![]() * Multi-touch - animate by touching and dragging the puppet and its body parts on the screen, even using both hands or working together with a friend. (Best results are usually with back camera of newer devices.) * Motion capture - intuitively animate characters just by moving your body in front of the device camera. * Real-time animation - you animate in the moment, while you talk, and your puppet comes to life in front of your eyes. The app even has fun guided activities that kids can follow along and do, making arts and crafts and then animating them. The result is your own animated video you can save and share! ![]() This animation app lets you instantly bring to life anything you want, just by acting things out in front of the camera or touching the screen.
