Animation Pro [iPad]

Produce professional frame-by-frame cut-out-style animations on your iPad. Animation Pro includes a long list of pro-level tools, such as automatic lip-synching, cloning (for automated shadows and reflections), motion-blur and camera depth-of-field to produce stunning studio quality animations.
