Animteam 1.1

The Animteam mobile application serves as a comprehensive platform designed to support animation studios in scaling their production capabilities through real-time collaboration and team management tools. The platform offers functionalities for digital painting, timeline-based animation, and team coordination, with all projects stored securely in the cloud and accessible across multiple devices. It supports standard 2D frame-by-frame animation at 24 frames per second, with output quality up to 720p HD resolution.

Project Organization:

• Each animation project is structured as an ordered sequence of shots, which can be created, deleted, duplicated, renamed, or rearranged according to production needs.
• Individual shots are opened and edited independently, allowing for focused adjustments and modular workflow.

Team Management:

• Each project maintains a list of team members invited via email invitation system.
• Assigned roles include administrator and artist, with new members automatically assigned the artist role by default.

Canvas Functionality:

• The drawing interface supports input via finger or stylus, with adjustable brush width via a dedicated slider supporting values from 1px to 1024px.
• Supported gestures include single-finger painting, two-finger freeform canvas transformation, pinch-to-zoom, two-finger tap for undo, three-finger tap for redo, three-finger hold to access the clipboard menu, and three-finger swipe to reset the canvas view.

Layer Management:

• Painting layers are managed with attributes such as name, opacity, blend mode, and visibility status.
• Layers can be grouped, clipped, masked, or merged; device images can be incorporated as separate layers.

Sequences:

• Sequences represent individual frame-by-frame animations, stacked and rendered sequentially from bottom to top.
• Each sequence can be hidden or set to loop; contains an ordered list of drawings that can also be hidden, held on a specific frame, or reordered. Drawings comprise multiple layers.

Timeline Navigation:

• The timeline visualizes the current frame and time within an animation shot.
• Playback controls include forward and backward playback; users can scrub through frames by dragging the time cursor.
• Gestures supported include tapping to jump to a timeline point, pinch-to-zoom, and swipe to reset view.

Color Selection:

• Colors can be chosen via RGB, HSV, or HSL models using square and circular pickers or sliders; hex color input is supported.
• A color palette facilitates storage of frequently used colors; eyedropper tool samples colors directly from the canvas for precision picking.

Move Tool:

• Activated move tool allows transformation of selected layers through dragging with one finger for translation or two fingers for freeform transformations.

Shape Creation:

• Holding while closing a shape creates circles, ellipses, or polygons. Shapes can be translated and transformed using one or two fingers respectively.

Brush Configuration:

• Each brush comprises a tip image with adjustable spacing, rotation, and squash settings.
• A palette permits storage of custom brush configurations; a live preview assists in previewing brush appearance. The eraser tool operates with its own settings set separate from painting brushes.

Onion Skinning:

• This feature overlays faded previous and subsequent drawings to facilitate smooth animation transitions. Up to six frames before and after can be onion skinned with customizable opacity and color parameters.

Cloud Synchronization:

• An icon located in the upper right corner indicates save status—whether changes are saved, currently saving, or unable to be saved. Users can manually reload the project state from the cloud by interacting with this icon.

Clipboard Operations:

• The clipboard menu is accessed via a three-finger hold gesture. Copying or cutting merges all selected layers into the clipboard; pasting applies the clipboard contents onto the active layer.
