FROM FIRST FRAME TO FINISHED FILM

Your whole movie.
One creative studio.

A little move. A little magic.

Set up your scene, take a photo, and move your characters a little. Use automatic or manual camera settings, with onion skinning to line up each frame.

Make every frame count.

Shape your story in the frame-by-frame editor. Rearrange, add, or remove frames, adjust timing, and keep your movie organized with a zoomable timeline.

Give your story a voice.

Record dialogue and choose from built-in music and sound effects. Trim clips, adjust volume, add fades, and give voices a playful twist.

Ready for its big premiere.

Share your movie with family, friends, or your class. Export a video, GIF, sticker, or flipbook, or transfer your project to another device.

Precise Animation with Guides

Draw and Animate

Magically Remove Objects

Make the support disappear. Remove strings and unwanted objects so your characters can take center stage.

A little atmosphere changes everything. Add foregrounds, backgrounds, and effects to set the scene.

Green Screen Magic

One set. Endless destinations. Change the background and send your characters somewhere extraordinary.

Animate LEGO® Emotions

Give every character a little personality. Add expressive eyes and mouths to make your LEGO® figures talk, react, and smile.
