Flipnote Converter

Flipnote Converter

Have you always wanted to make animations in flipnote style, but is it a slow and difficult process to animate it on a ds original? Or maybe you don't have a ds?

but with all this you know how to animate in some other program like "Clip Studio Paint" or "Krtia" but you don't know how to export it keeping quality?

Here I have a possible solution!

- What I need?

First of all you will need to install the following python packages:

pip install opencv-python

pip install moviepy

For all this you will need to create your animation using the resolution of an original flipnote (256x192p) and add the audio to your animation, once you have it, you will export it as .gif in the same resolution at 24 fps.

But wait! How will I keep the audio if the gifs do not have audio, for that we will export the animation as mp4 again (here the resolution does not matter, only that the fps are the same).

Now we will rename the gif file as "input.gif" and the mp4 file as "Audio.mp4" (Exactly as they are written here, copy it if necessary). Now move these files to the "input" folder and run the FlipnoteConverter.exe file to do the rescaling.

- How does the app work?

Maybe it's not the best way but it's what I could do, the program takes your gif and separates each frame into png images and saves them in the "source" folder, then scales each image x8 and saves these images in output, then puts the rescaled images into a gif called output.gif, converts the gif into an mp4 called "output.mp4" and finally adds the audio from "Audio.mp4" in the final file "Vid.mp4".

- Can I improve/modify the app?

Clear! You have total freedom to modify everything to your liking, just leave everything free and with the same freedom that I did.

Making credit helps but it is not necessary.
