A pen-first canvas and a real dope sheet in one window. The drawing half and the timing half of the job, without leaving for another program halfway through.
So people bounce between two programs: rough it where the pen feels right, then re-time it somewhere that understands exposure. Douga is an attempt at one program that does both — and doesn't make you choose.
Pressure that means what you expect, brushes you can add to, a stabilizer for the long line.
A real dope sheet — keys, holds, loops, exposure on ones or twos, onion skin either side.
Fifteen presets — ink, pencil, charcoal, watercolor, a smudge that pushes paint — plus a stabilizer and a brush creator. Share one as a .dbrush.
Keys, holds and loops per layer. Expose on ones or twos; onion skin the frames either side, warm and cool.
A project holds scenes, a scene holds cuts, a cut holds its own layers and length. Reorder without renumbering.
Wheel, RGB/HSV, a managed palette. Export it as a .dpal and hand it to the next film.
Steps back through structure as well as strokes. Delete a cut by accident, one press brings the cut back.
One .douga per project. In: images, GIF, video, audio, pose packs. Out: PNG sequence, GIF, APNG, X‑sheet PDF, or MP4 with its audio via ffmpeg.
