DigiCel, Inc. has released
a new version of its 2D animation software FlipBook, with improved
support for digital video capture and stop motion animation. Version
3.5 features widespread support for digital video capture via
FireWire. A digital video camera and a FireWire port is all users
need to capture high quality digital images directly into FlipBook
for pencil test and stop motion animation. DigiCel FlipBook also has
the ability to rotate images 180 degrees during the capture process
without any loss in performance, as well as overlay the live camera
image onto a previously captured drawing so animators can realign the
camera to resume shooting even if the camera or the peg bar has been
moved. In addition to this realignment feature, FlipBook 3.5 has
several improvements for stop motion animators including enhancements
to the "One-Touch Capture" feature, allowing stop motion animators to
see a scene play back with a new frame added the instant the frame
has been captured. FlipBook Version 3.5 is a free upgrade to all
customers with version 3 or above. For other pricing, and to learn
