After much wait, the sequel to the hit DSiWare animation software Flipnote Studio is now available on the Nintendo 3DS. Flipnote Studio 3D brings back the classic animation software that was on the Nintendo DS, but gives you the ability to make 3D animations. However, in order to get the new software, there is a slight catch: The application isn't downloadable from the storefront on the Nintendo eShop.

You have to get a code to download the software. Here is a quick guide on how to get the code to download Flipnote Studio 3D and get animating.

Flipnote speed is the rate at which a Flipnote animation's frames are played. There are 8 different Flipnote speed values. Speed: The speed value in Flipnote Studio Time for 128 Frames: The measured time for 128 frames. FPS:Frames Per Seconds. The common used value for the frame resolution of a video. FPM:Frames Per Minute. FPM equals BPM if you want one frame for every quarter note, meter.

Flipnotes are limited to exactly 999 frames, whilst audio is restricted to one music track (limited to about a minute or flipnote length), and 3 small sound files. I don't believe there is a filesize limit. Clipnote Studio is a freeware animation software that's meant to replicate a very specific style. Development was started in late 2018 by Calcium using Game Maker Studio A new version is being worked on as of late 2019, switching from GML to C. Current release window is late 2020. Though not a fully fledged animation program like Flipnote, Autodesk's Sketchbook Pro 7 has a Flipbook program in which it's REALLY simple to create short animations. There is no learning curve, it's very intuitive. However unlike Flipnote, you can't sync up audio, and export as an AVI.

Flipnote Studio, originally released in Japan as Moving Notepad (うごくメモ帳, Ugoku Memochō), was a free downloadable application for the Nintendo DSi's DSiWare digital distribution service. Developed by Nintendo EAD Tokyo,^[1]Flipnote Studio allowed the user to create both word and picture-based notes with the stylus, add sound, and put them together to create frame-by-frame flipbook-style animations. Though referred to as Moving Notepad by Nintendo in prior English-language keynote addresses and conferences,^[2] the application was announced at E3 2009 officially as Flipnote Studio.^[3] It was released in Japan on December 24, 2008, in North America on August 12, 2009, and in Europe and Australia on August 14, 2009. It was also included as a preloaded program on the Nintendo DSi LL/XL and Nintendo DSi with firmware 1.4. An online service, titled Flipnote Hatena (うごメモはてな, Ugomemo Hatena) allowed users to download flipnotes created by other users. Users were also able to post stills from flipnotes to the sharing site Miiverse.

Flipnote Studio is not available to be downloaded or transferred onto the Nintendo 3DS.^[4] As a successor, Flipnote Studio 3D, was developed specifically for the system.

The online Flipnote Hatena (うごメモはてな Ugomemo Hatena) service officially retired on May 31, 2013. However, users were previously able to transfer the Flipnotes from their Flipnote Hatena account to the new online service provided with Flipnote Studio 3D, until the Flipnote Gallery World service was shut down on April 2, 2018.^[5] After the Nintendo DSi Shop closed on March 31, 2017, the original Flipnote Studio was no longer available for download.

Features[edit]

Flipnote Studio offers the user three main tools with which to create drawings: a pen, an eraser, and a paintbrush (each heavily customizable) . With these tools, the user may create frames for short or long animated sketches, called Flipnotes. Additional features such as layering, shrinking, enlarging, moving, copying, cutting, pasting, etc. are also available, as well as the option to import black-and-white images via the DSi Camera Album (though not limited to black and white) . The Japanese version of the software allows the user to take photos directly from Flipnote Studio itself.^[2]^[6] One animation may consist of hundreds of frames (maximum 999), and to go along with the animation itself, the user may choose to record up to 4 different sound banks (each holding up to 2 seconds of sound) with the DSi microphone OR importing from DSi Sound, then save it as a 'mastered' soundtrack (which can hold up to 1 minute of sound).^[6] The speed ranges from 0.5 - 30 FPS.

When newly started, Flipnote Studio is set to right-hand mode. When drawing, the left and right buttons on the depad cycle through the pages. Pressing down will play the animation, and the up button will take the user to the tools section. The L button can trigger advanced tool options, such as enlarging the drawing instead of shrinking it. If the user uses left-hand mode - an option in the settings - the buttons will switch places, and mirror. Once activated, the R button will take place of the L button and so on.

Overview[edit]

Shortly before the release of Moving Notepad in Japan, Nintendo announced that they were partnering with Japanese web services provider Hatena to provide the means to share works created with the software. Speaking for Nintendo, Yoshiaki Koizumi stated they chose to work with Hatena because 'it takes a special skill set to maintain the User Generated Contents (UGC) site, and we don't have that skill. We rely on Hatena on that part.' ^[7]
