TISFAT

TISFAT is a software application whose purpose is to help users create stick-figure animations.

Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.

You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to design animations on the breeze, without having to go through installation steps.

The layout is not quite intuitive and you may spend some time configuring the dedicated parameters especially if you are a novice in the stick-figure animation field.

TISFAT gives you the possibility to insert various objects into the working environment, namely rectangles, ovals, stick animation, polylines, and other preset objects.

What’s more, you are allowed to add an image from the computer, embed text messages, which can be customized in terms of color and font, upload AVI files, insert a key frame to the current frameset, and set the background color of the movie.

Other notable characteristics worth mentioning enable you to create a custom object, change its properties, move it to different areas of the workspace, specify the frame rate, create a scene, preview the animations, as well as well insert key frames and layers in the timeline mode.

The project can be exported to AVI, GIF, PNG, BMP, or SWF file format, and you can also pick the size of the movie and add a shot description about it (e.g. author, content).

To sum it up, TISFAT offers a handy set of parameters but it still needs some improvements in the GUI area to make the entire process more intuitive.
