I personally think that it could come with more templates as standard. No review would be complete without a look at the negatives, but thankfully the Flip Boom All Star program doesn’t have many. ![]() There is an eLearning section on the ToonBoom website which is updated every so often with new templates which be downloaded free of charge. The are a few templates that come with Flip Boom All Star, that comprise Easter, Christmas and Manga themes, so can be a great way for your child to make e-cards or greetings message for friends and family on Facebook. It’s always good to have example scenes or elements that your child can start with or use as examples to show them what’s possible. This makes it real easy for your child to upload and share their work with friends and family. This opens up the ability to do some simple character animation with a story.Įxporting your work is real easy too, as you can save it in a variety of standard formats – iTunes, SWF, Quicktime, YouTube and Facebook formats. You also have the ability to import sound into a project – this could be music or some sound or voice your child has recorded. You also have a function called “ Auto-Animate” which allows you to do a drawing, and then the software will animate it for you in a variety of crazy styles – which is great for getting a result in a short amount of time. The drawing tools allow you to do traditional drawn animation, or by importing pictures, photos or videos to animate in a variety of media. ![]() Featuresįlip Boom All Star is a surprisingly well-rounded piece of software and supports a wide variety of media formats allowing you complete creative freedom. There’s nothing more off-putting to a young person than software that requires a detailed manual just to get off the starting blocks.Įach button has a “tool tip” which is revealed by hovering the mouse over it, and the user guide is easily accessed by pressing F1, so there’s no need to scroll through lengthy manuals to find what you’re looking for. The first thing that strikes you when you open the software is that the interface is very well laid out without any hidden menus or complicated settings.
