Callipeg review

Callipeg is the strongest pick for traditional 2D animators who want studio tools on a tablet. Enoben sells it for $14.99 once on the US App Store and on Google Play, and its site lists iPad and Android tablets plus newer desktop versions. The feature set is aimed at production: shots, scenes and folders for project management, a timeline with frame rates from 12 to 60 FPS, onion skins up to 8 frames each way with an Out of Pegs control, and layer types for drawing, video, transformation, audio and groups. Imported video and audio support rotoscoping and lip sync, and work autosaves every 30 seconds. Export covers MP4, HEVC, GIF, PNG, TGA and PSD, and JSON, XDTS and OCA files move scenes into other studio software. The trade-off is a gesture-based interface with more to learn than FlipaClip, and the full app is for tablets, so phone users get the separate Callipeg mini.
