Strange world we live in...

by ianmacm Sep 19, 2010 (Read all my 174 reviews)

Who would have guessed that out of all the freeware available on Snapfiles, this would turn out to be the top download? It is unchanged since July 2004 and allows the user to make animated stick figures. Great fun for anyone who wants to play at being the next Walt Disney.

This is the coolest thing ever

Wow

by Zebrapeng Jul 13, 2009

Compared to Flash Animation, this is genius! (And so easy-to-use!) I'd say the only other things Pivot should have is: 1. An Undo button (pressing Delete all the time gets a bit annoying) and 2. A slide 'edge' like in Powerpoint so you can control characters off of the screen as well! Ta for the download; only website to download from now'days! Tara!

Had some fun

by gimpguy Sep 16, 2008 (Read all my 1159 reviews)

Just used this and must say, it's a fun app to have. Plenty of um...stick figure options, lol. For free it's quite the toy. Kids love it too.

Pivot makes everyone an animator!

by schnubble Sep 14, 2008

I love using Pivot, and find it a great introduction to animation! Can anyone tell me how to use different backgrounds in different frames, though? -Thanks!!

My son loves this!

by andreNR Aug 21, 2008

He's 8 and looks forward to animating Mr. Stick to do funny stuff. Opens an outlet for his imagination.

Easy to use and free why not!

by FreeWareMan Aug 12, 2008

Its easy to use and simple. its very good for a beginner animator and its free why not take the chance and love it or hate it uninstall it and you didn't lose a penny! I use it for my YouTube videos and its good for making simple entertaining videos.

Awesome

by darkknight9521 Aug 11, 2008

This is awesome, so simple, so cool, but how do you save the files as .gifs? other than that this is great. [Editor: Select 'Save animation' then choose .gif format from the file type drop down menu]

Very cool, but missing some features

by rg_96_pwnzor Oct 14, 2007

Pivot is a very cool tool and fun to use. However, it is missing some features such as: a) FPS rate editor b) tweening Other than that, this tool is awesome! It should come with a better help manual/readme file, though. www.paperaeronautics.org

The best

by ltnoskt7 Jul 16, 2007

Pivot is so cool. You can make flash movies, and all of it is very easy to use. I still think Adobe Flash MX is better, but this is very easy to use, and the best part of it is that its free! I like the "Next Frame" button that you use, because its really easy to find. I highly recommend this to all animators, old, and new.

Review details

This was awsome

by DaAnimator Jul 12, 2007

Hey i downloaded this a while ago ago and I still enjoy making short funny clips. I can`t wait to get the full version of Pivot 3. I already tried the beta it was pretty kool.

Review details

Perfect!

by NicebuyPrograms Jun 19, 2007

This freeware is soo much fun! There is no spyware,no virus, and is VERY easy to use! I would suggest this program to anyone, even kids. Its great how you can make your own little stories or plays. Great job!

Excellent product!

by Bill52 May 04, 2007

My 10 years old is using it A LOT! (Right now too; for the last six hours.) He figured it by himself. Now he is creating stories, gestures, emotions ... you name it while learning the joy of creating. He watches those stick-movies then creates. This is an excellent educational tool! Many-many thanks!!

A very good program

by John42Dud Apr 26, 2007

This is a very good program specially because it is so easy to use. You may want to know why I rated "Features" at "Very Good" rather than "Excellent", the thing is that there is a 'Pivot 3' coming out and this has many more features. I know this because I have the beta version of the new pivot. It has a few more features such as 'sprites', witch is an image (.bmp .jpeg .gif), and you can add them to your animations. Plus you can have multiple backgrounds in one animation. Unfortunately there is a few bugs although I have a version with less bugs than that is no longer available for download anywhere except here because the pivot 'MSN group' that was hosting it is not running anymore. Anyway I give Peter Bone a 5/5 rating for his programs.

Easy to use!

by CoolJaZ Apr 22, 2007

This is the most easy to use feature I've ever seen to animate stick figures. I'm going to share this with others to spread the greatness of the Pivot StickFigure Animator. One thing that I learned to do quick frames instead of just clicking "Next Frame," is that you press enter when "Next Frame" is highlighted... I don't think I will ever need another animator ever again!

This is cool!

by Cool_One Apr 14, 2007

This is really cool! I made some fine animations, and sold them for some fine money :-)!

Uh..no

by hrwasp Feb 25, 2007 (Read all my 48 reviews)

Though it is cute and kills a little down time, it has no real value. My 5 year old loves it, but she also loved Barney when she was younger.

It's good

by rug969 Jan 07, 2007

Pivot stick animator is easy to use but it is quite basic and good for beginners and people who don't like things that are too complex.

Review details

I teach with pivot the kids love it.

by brisbane_artist Dec 20, 2006

We never get bored because what I am really teaching them about is their unique scripting. We also get lots out of making backgrounds with cut paper or with the Paint or Photoshop program.

Review details

When are you going to update it!?

by Patronus Dec 11, 2006

Yeah, yeah, it's great, but when are you going to update it!? It's been 2.2.5 since at least a year ago! You need to make this better (even if I would give it a 12/10), because this version is extremely boring after a while

Review details

I love it!

by iluvpivot Nov 11, 2006

This is a really easy animation software that a kid like me could use it! I think they should call it Pivot GIF Animator because it is good with that.

Review details

Fantastic.

by Zadgile Nov 05, 2006

This absolutely free software is an excellent way to make simple, good looking animations. It is even being used within my school district for technology classes! The creator of this is very generous for making this a free software, for if I created this, I would probably sell it. Excellent job Peter! Keep it coming please!

by Sniper_Elite Jun 08, 2006

Very good program, easy interface and easy to use. It's great the way you can create your own figures, and it's a good way to introduce frame-by-frame animation. Well Done Mr Bone!

This is really cool

by me1111 May 29, 2006

You can make any stick you want! its pretty sweet making them do your bidding, although it is a little troubling that you can't make pictures, only lines and circles.

Animated

by Imdownloading May 21, 2006

I like to animate some files, thanks to Pivot i can finally make as many animations as i want. I hope other people would see how excellent this program is.

An easy to use freeware animation program

by gurdonark May 19, 2006

Sometimes when a program is described as "easy", then that translates to "the x program for dummies book is only 500 pages long". But Pivot Animation is truly easy, user friendly animation software. It's got some flexibility, but its main virtue is that one can within thirty minutes create animation worth creating. A nearly perfect program, at less than .5 MB.

Amazing program =)

by deathbiter May 02, 2006

A great tool for all people from usage to accessibility of importation and exportation simple yet quite amazing to use, although you must get used to it

Review details

Great for beginers!

by Magnoodle Mar 29, 2006

I have been using this program for about a year, and I must say that it is fantastic for beginners, after a while, you may want to find a more powerful program, but this is so simple that a monkey could use it. It's also great for creating animated avatars for forums. Just email me and I can send you advice on using this or some of my animations.

Review details

Good for beginers

by ferrija1 Feb 04, 2006 (Read all my 3 reviews)

This little program is great for beginners but lacks many features. If you just started animation programs this is for you, but after a while you will want another, more powerful animation program.

My goal

by kyomaru Feb 01, 2006

I want to be an animator for my career, and this is just the thing to have for practice! its fun and surprisingly entertaining for such a simple program. i guess it doesn't always need to be fancy to be fun

Long time user

by Moostaffa Jan 30, 2006

I have been using Pivot for 2 years now and have created hundreds of animations with it. The ability to add backgrounds is very helpful because it allows you to set a mood and add more comical effect if you use some of the background as your foreground. For example I had a background which was simply a picture of a street with a stop sign. I used the stop sign in my pivot which was about 30 seconds long. The stick figure simply ran across the screen and smacked into the stop sign. I love this program and if anyone ever needs advice or help you can contact me and I'll give you all the help you need.

Best freeware ever. Oh, Pete, I wish you sell it for Nintendo DS so anyone can go for a walk with his animations... S. W. E. E. T.

Awesome!

by RemiZD Nov 17, 2005

Brilliant. Exactly what i've always wanted. Corel rave was good, but this was made for the thing i've wanted to do with animation program....SUPERB!

Review details

Wow this is good!

by LtCheese Nov 15, 2005

This is the most fun I've ever had out of a free download! Kudos to those who made this. This is so simple anyone could pick it up, but it still has enough depth so that experts can make amazing animations! I would recommend this to anyone who has some time and ikes to make hilarious animations! Thanks guys!

Pivot stickfigure.

by Icingdeath Sep 30, 2005

This is an amazingly easy to use animation program. It takes NO programming skills whatsoever, and can result in comical effects. The ease of no programming means that anyone can use it, and I have become quite good at it (if I do say so myself). I asked my teacher about it,(I am in the 9th grade) and he said we could do a class on it. We are doing this, as of today. The ability to create your own backgrounds and stick figures increases the limit to your creativity. By the way, don't try to make a fight first thing. I tried, and it looked horrible, as they can take much practice. Having characters interact with the background and each other, with comical effects, can lead to a seriously good stickman animation. Falling down stairs is always funny. So, I would advise readers of this review to download the program if you haven't already, and get cracking at it! You will probably be fairly entertained with it, as I was. Oh, yeah. PIVOT STICKFIGURE ANIMATOR RULES!

Pure class - enough said

by Stick_CLip Sep 07, 2005

This is one of the best pieces of software i have ever used and i am not just saying that. loved the speed of the program and the figures them selves allow you to be extreemly clever. GET THIS PROGRAM!!

*claps*

by Kaneanight Aug 18, 2005

This is the most wonderful program ever made. I've tried other animation programs and none of them are is easy to use and fun as this one. My only complain, no sounds adding. I'd love to add background music but other than that this is the greatest thing ever.
