'This a composite and presentation product to add motion and interactivity to comics.' That's what Software's new app, MotionArtist, can do, according to Steve Yatson, the Senior Product Manager of the Productivity & Graphics group at Smith Micro. 'I'm animating without actually having to be an animator.'
Attendees will be the first to see MotionArtist’s approach to layout, animation and interactivity at the company’s booth (#5353) this week. But you don't have be there to check it out. The app is in the beta stage and Smith Micro is offering it for free in a direct download from the starting today. Why am I so interested in MotionArtist? Because when my son wanted to create digital comics, the software professional comic creators universally recommended to him was, also by Smith Micro. My son has been using it for over a year now and he's very pleased. It's allowed him to move from thought to deed much faster and easier than I ever expected.

As Yatson said, this is not a software to create comics. That's what Manga Studio does. It is a product designed to present them in the best and coolest possible format. MotionArtist will take images – comic panels, photos, what have you – and help re-format and recreate them to create motion. Using the program, you can slice up the images into panels or you can take various objects in the image, shift them around, and then animate them. During the webinar demonstration, Yatson moved around a boat, fish, and the sun from one place to another, then created movement in which the boat seemed to be sailing on the water.
According to Yatson, Smith Micro expects three types of customers for MotionArtist:. Someone who wants to drag and drop photos or comics into it as assets and put it into a quick presentation. The software is designed to make it easy to take full pages and put them online or cut up panels out and quickly create something to put online. Someone that wants to create an interactive graphic novel with some interactivity. Anyone that wants to take family vacation photos or any photos and create sound and motion with them. These are the more casual users. Built into the software is an easy way to export your creation either as a movie or a HTML presentation.
For those who intend on hosting webcomic chapters on a website, the software will format the panels for export and upload. There is also a direct input feature to both YouTube and Facebook.Features include movable letting, sound effects, and audio, among others. Yatson said the program is designed to be user-friendly. In presentation mode, the work is primarily done for the user: 'You don't have to go through a bunch of user interfaces in presentation mode.' In advanced mode, there is more customization.Yatson emphasized MotionArtist is not a drawing or coloring tool. 'The idea is to help get your comics on the web in a compelling presentation.'
The official release is scheduled for mid-2013, with a retail price of approximately$60.

We streamlined the scene creation workflow by grouping all new file options onto the same screen. You can now import a SketchBook TIFF from iCloud or Dropbox. Bring in layered TIFF files directly into Motion (layer groups and blending modes are not preserved). You can now drag and drop files into the app one of two ways: drag a file into the Gallery or into the canvas.
Dragging a SketchBook TIFF into the Gallery creates a new scene with all the layers. Dragging an image into the Gallery creates a new scene with the image on one layer. Dragging a TIFF into the canvas flattens the image and places it onto a new layer. Dragging an image into the canvas places the image onto a new layer. Flattened TIFF. 1.1.6 Jul 19, 2017.
ElTaco4 I have been searching relentlessly for a descent animating app to bring and give my characters life sorta. This is very good with good animating techniques and controls but I can’t drag and drop any of my pictures I would like to animate from Sketchbook. That is my only problem cause I was able to drag and drop my first picture I wanted and animate it but when I tried to drag and drop another pic from the same files, it wouldn’t work and it would just fade into nothing. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong but any help would be great. This is a very good app and I recommend it for the other beginning animators searching for an animation app.

Great job on this one. The Rest: I bought the first sketchbook apps way back. Buffy magic box.
I bought the current version via in-app purchase. I don’t have a Mac. And besides, I wouldn’t use it on desktop, hence no need for any cloud or sync. That leaves this app left in the subscription p.
I can absolutely pay 30 bucks for this app, but not as a subscription fee. So please do consider making this app available with a one time purchase. Make it a separate app perhaps and, after x number of updates the customer needs to either stay on the current version or pay for the new version. All these subscriptions every dev in the photo community implements today, they mean more monthly bills to keep track of.
