Summary by Debuts, based on the App Store listing.About
Some of the best animation ever made is sitting perfectly still on paper.
20 Shot brings it back to life. Photograph a comic strip, a contact sheet, a flip-book, or any grid of sequential images, mark the frames in order, and export a looping video. All of it happens on your iPhone.
HOW IT WORKS 1. Shoot the page. Use the built-in camera to capture a single page or several. 2. Mark the frames. Set the grid to match the layout, then tap each panel in playback order. 3. Export the loop. Preview the animation, pick a speed and aspect ratio, and save it to Photos.
WHAT IS INSIDE - Grid frame picker: set rows and columns to match any layout, then tap panels in sequence - Single frame mode: capture images one at a time with a manual crop editor - Adjustable crop: drag edges and corners to frame each panel exactly - Automatic edge cleanup: trims borders and print artifacts, and can be switched off - Reorder screen: tap frames to set the exact playback order, or reset and start over - Five playback speeds, from a slow flip to a fast blur - Five output ratios: square, portrait, landscape and photo formats, filled edge to edge - Enhancements: sharpen, black and white, auto light and vivid color - Video export saved straight to Photos - Record mode with a countdown and loop counter for filming the animation as it plays
MADE FOR Comic and manga readers. Zine makers. Collage and flip-book artists. Photographers with contact sheets. Anyone who owns sequential art and wants to watch it move.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. No uploads. Frame extraction, enhancement and video encoding all run on your device, and your photos never leave it.
Please only animate material you own or have permission to use.
