DrawPlus X2 New Features – Animation and Publishing

Keyframe Animation

Animate your drawings with DrawPlus’s intuitive Storyboard tab. Simply draw your object, specify its position and transforms on subsequent frames, and DrawPlus automatically performs the ‘tweening’, even following non-linear paths. Also use the Camera tool to give the impression of panning and zooming around the scene for professional-looking animations.

Actions

Add interactive elements to your flash animations using predefined Actions. Jump to different scenes at the click of your mouse and add effects like old film flicker and rumble – even create fully interactive games! Actionscript can also be edited or written from scratch for complete power and flexibility.

Animated Rollover

Create amazing animated flash buttons that change state when you hover your mouse over them or click them. Simply create three variations of your button design and select which of the three states, including Normal, Hover and Pressed, applies to each design and your Flash button is finished!

Animation Layers

Add multiple layers to your frames and separate background details from foreground objects for high quality animations that really stand out. Masks can even be applied to your animations with just a click of the mouse, perfect for professional designers and animators who want high quality effects fast!

Export to Flash and Video

Save your animations to Shockwave Flash or a choice of video formats, including AVI, Windows Media File and QuickTime. With a wide choice of formats you can create small files for displaying on the web or high quality movies. Even export animations for playing on mobile phones with DrawPlus’s Flash Lite format.

Dynamic Live Export Preview

Change the screen view to display a live preview of the outputted design in your choice of file formats and resolution, giving you a larger area in which to review the output quality. Continue to zoom and pan around your design, as well as add, delete and modify objects and instantly see the results you’ll achieve.

Create Screensavers

Export your animations and save them as stunning, attention-grabbing screensavers that will bring your desktop to life. Impress friends and family with a new animated screensaver for every occasion or create new designs to suit your mood. The choice is yours!
