  3. If you would like to change the location, do so before saving.
  4. Tap Save.


Export FlipBook

If you want to share your animation, you can export it as a movie or sequence of images.

  1. Select File > Export FlipBook.
  2. Choose the exported format of the FlipBook

    NOTE: When Animated GIF is selected as the exported format, you can choose to loop the playback when the file is generated.



    If you want the background color included in the exported file, check Include Background Color.

  3. Set the frame range of the exported file.

    If you don't want to change the size and frame rate of the exported FlipBook, check Match Document Settings.

  4. Tap Export. By default, the image will be saved to your desktop.

    If you would like to change the location, do so before saving.
