DigiCel FlipBook is 2D animation software that runs on Microsoft Windows or Mac OS X. (runs on MacOS Mojave or earlier, but not on recent MacOS Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey[2]). There is a version for iOS called Digicel Flip-Pad. It is intended to closely replicate the traditional animation process, very similar to the likes of TVPaint Animation and Toon Boom Harmony.
FlipBook supports scanning physical drawings with a TWAIN-compliant scanner or webcam, or direct digital input via a Wacom tablet. In either case, the internal format is raster-based, not vector-based. Inbetweening is done using onion skinning. Each frame must be drawn separately; FlipBook intentionally does not support skeletal animation or morph target animation, as these are not part of the traditional animator's toolkit.[3]
