Iam very new to Adobe Animate CC. I have made a few simple animations just to figure out the program, but now i am trying to replicate the style as seen in this video: 2 minutes of happiness - YouTube

First of all, how do i create a canvas that is fully pixel based? When i create a new project i get to choose a canvas size. But no matter what i select (I'm using 352 x 240 pixels canvas for reference) The drawings always end up vectorized. And second: is it possible to create a brush of sorts that creates the shading styles seen below?


oh, those flipnote animations are so nice, love that Keke stuff! You actually can disable antialiasing in Animate, which will help somewhat, untick 'smooth' in the export movie dialog, but you're still gonna have to run it through after effects or something to properly get nice pixel patterns. If you really want the full pixel experience you might be better off using a dedicated app like pixly though


Hello I have had a dsi for a long time and never really used flipnote, I have now diceded to start again and crate some flipnotes.

How do I make flipnotes run more smoothly?, How do I use lightbox mode? , which it said you should use to make animations smooth on the nintendo website I believe and can anyone give me some tips to get me started.

Thanks


If you want to make smooth flipnotes, the best way is to change the picture a tiny bit each page, and put the flipnote on full speed. It's a long process, but it pays off. If you want tools like cut and paste, turn advanced tools on in the options menu. Advanced tools are very useful when making flipnotes. Also, if you don't have any ideas, you can always download some flipnotes from Flipnote Hatena and change them. I recommend downloading the user-made template packs from Hatena, because they provide you with loads of art to make great flipnotes with. To use template packs, just download them onto your DSi, then edit them. Once you've made your flipnote, go to 'save', then 'more options', then 'save as new flipnote', so you still have the template pack..


Lightbox mode is useful for making your animations more smooth. What it does is leave an outline of the previous page so you can know where to draw instead of guessing. So if I was animating someone waving their hand, I can see the previous picture and move their hand over by a tiny bit each page.


Finally, use copy/paste to keep certain things the same throughout the cartoon. You can copy and paste entire cels from the "movie reel" button at the top. You can also use a lasso to copy and paste certain parts. When you use the select lasso, you can press the L button and use the control pad to move the selection pixel by pixel.


Flipnote Studio, known in Japan as Moving Notepad (うごくメモ帳, Ugoku Memochō), is a free downloadable application available through the Nintendo DSi's DSiWare digital distribution service. The service for the DSiWare has been discontinued. Developed by Nintendo EAD Tokyo,[1] Flipnote Studio allowed the user to create both word-based and picture-based notes with the stylus, add sound, and combine them to create frame-by-frame flipbook-style animations. In English-language keynote addresses and conferences prior to its release, the application was referred to as Moving Notepad by Nintendo, and was announced at E3 2009 officially as Flipnote Studio.[2] It was released in Japan on December 24, 2008, in North America on August 12, 2009, and in Europe and Australia on August 14. It was later included as a preloaded program on the Nintendo DSi and DSi XL with firmware version 1.4.


An online service, titled Flipnote Hatena (うごメモはてな, Ugomemo Hatena), allowed users to download flipnotes created by other users and to post stills from flipnotes to the sharing site Miiverse. The service officially retired on May 31, 2013. However, users were still able to transfer Flipnotes from their Flipnote Hatena account to the Flipnote Gallery World service provided with Flipnote Studio 3D, until it was shut down on April 2, 2018.[3]


After the closure of the Nintendo DSi Shop on March 31, 2017, the original Flipnote Studio is no longer available for download. The original Flipnote application cannot be transferred onto the Nintendo 3DS;[4] but instead, a successor titled Flipnote Studio 3D was released for the platform.


Flipnote Studio was developed by Yoshiaki Koizumi and Hideaki Shimizu. The two began working on the project without the knowledge of anyone else at Nintendo EAD Tokyo.[5] It was initially designed as a tool for taking notes with the name Moving Notepad, and it was considered early on as a possible WiiWare application to transmit these notes from a DS to the Wii to be shared with other users of the application. When the Nintendo DSi was announced, it was decided by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata that the company would work with Hatena, as the latter had recently shifted its R&D department to Kyoto, where Nintendo Corporate Labs is located.[5]


Flipnote Studio offers the user three main tools with which to create drawings: a pen, an eraser, and a paintbrush, each of which are heavily customizable. With these tools, the user may create frames for animated sketches (called Flipnotes), which can hold up to 999 frames each. Animation speed ranges from 0.5 - 30 FPS, and is able to be changed freely by the user. Additional features such as layering, shrinking, enlarging, moving, copying, cutting, pasting, etc. are also available, as well as the option to import images via the DSi Camera Album. The Japanese version of the software allows the user to take photos directly from Flipnote Studio itself.[6][7] In addition, the user may choose to record up to 4 different sound banks (each holding up to 2 seconds of sound) with the DSi microphone or import sounds from DSi Sound, then save them as a 'mastered' soundtrack (which can hold up to 1 minute of sound).[7]


The application is set to right-hand mode by default. When drawing, the left and right buttons on the D-pad cycle through the frames of the animation being drawn. Pressing the down button will play the animation, and pressing the up button will take the user to the tools section, where the current drawing tool can be changed. The L button triggers advanced tool options, such as changing the size of the drawing. If the user uses left-hand mode, the buttons will switch places.


Shortly before the release of Moving Notepad in Japan, Nintendo announced that they were partnering with Japanese web services provider Hatena to provide the means to share works created with the software. Speaking for Nintendo, Yoshiaki Koizumi said that they chose to work with Hatena because "it takes a special skill set to maintain the User Generated Contents (UGC) site, and we don't have that skill. We rely on Hatena on that part".[10]


"Flipnote Hatena" refers to both the portion of the Flipnote Studio application that connects to the Flipnote Hatena website as well as the website itself (the Japanese version of the program differentiates between the two, but not the English version). Through the DSi portion of the application, users were able to download Flipnotes to their DSi, upload their own Flipnotes, and add stars to Flipnotes uploaded by others. Users could also 'spin off' another user's Flipnote, by downloading it and editing it.


The Flipnote Hatena website offered the ability for users to rate and comment on the works of others, as well as to embed their animations into other webpages.[7] Users could also flag submissions as inappropriate; Flipnotes that were flagged were not viewable via the DSi's Flipnote Hatena[11] and could have been removed from the website altogether.[12]


When uploaded, Flipnote animations were placed into specific categories by their creators. These categories, known as "channels", included general classifications such as "Musical" and "Comedy", as well as more specific categories suggested by popular Flipnote users and accepted by Hatena.[13] For example, the categories "Stick Figures", "Spoof", and "Birds" were added at the request of users.


Flipnote Hatena had its own economy of "stars". Stars were used to rate Flipnotes (similarly to YouTube's "like" function), and users could add as many stars as they desired to any Flipnote. In addition to the regular Stars, users could purchase or earn Color Stars. In increasing rarity, these colors were green, red, blue, and purple. Users could earn Green Stars by reporting inappropriate Flipnotes, using other Hatena services, posting Flipnotes frequently (based on the number of days they posted Flipnotes), or managing a popular Channel. Red Stars were given to creators whose Flipnotes were featured in the Weekly News. In addition, users could purchase "boxes" containing a certain number of Color Stars. The contents of these boxes were randomized, so users wouldn't know how many stars of each color they would receive; but the larger the purchased box was, the more likely the user was to receive rare Color Stars.


The Star system on Flipnote Hatena had a mixed reception from users. The ability to add infinite stars was a major drawback, as a large part of the Flipnote Hatena community became focused on receiving as many stars as possible. This led to a practice referred to among the community as "star begging", where Flipnotes, often direct copies of others, were created for the sole purpose of gaining stars.[citation needed]


Prior to the release of Moving Notepad/Flipnote Studio 3D, the closure of the Flipnote Hatena communities was announced. The service was officially shut down on May 31, 2013.[7] Fans vocally protested the shutdown and contacted Nintendo, Hatena, and even news media in an attempt to prevent the end of the services. Several fans even created websites and servers to continue sharing Flipnotes after the shutdown.
