Pixate Studio 1.7.0

Several large firms are using motion in their designs to express their respective brand identities. You can also use motion design to differentiate and define, and this will help you stand out in the modern era of mobile apps. Pixate Studio is a powerful prototyping platform that makes it easy to bring your ideas to reality. It generates native prototypes that enable you to experience your ideas as if they were real.

Using Pixate Studio
When we launched Pixate Studio, we could create a new prototype straight away or take time to learn more about the program. It included samples that we could experiment with. The main interface was divided into six sections:

1.Toolbox/assets tabs
2.Actions
3.Interactions and animations
4.The canvas
5.Layer properties
6.Interaction/animation properties
The process of working with Pixate Studio is divided into two main parts:

1.Creating and editing prototypes
2.Sharing and storing the prototypes in the cloud
We used the visual editor to create layers. We then required only a few mouse clicks to add animation and other interactions that helped to bring our designs to life. We did not have to bother writing any code as the program took care of that in the background. The studio saved our work locally so we did not need to connect to the Internet to use it.

The Pixate Studio app refreshed our native prototypes on mobile devices in real time as we made changes. The program saved our changes automatically. Please note that you can only view the prototypes on either Android or iOS devices since they are 100 percent native. You need to download the appropriate app on your device to view the live prototypes. You may connect your device via USB, Bluetooth or IP address.

Alternatively, you can use the iOS simulator to preview your work on the desktop, but you must install XCode to use this feature.

Since the platform uses points rather than pixels, we could display the same image at two different resolutions on different devices without any visual difference in size.

Pixate Studio allowed us to share our prototypes with colleagues who experienced our ideas right on their devices. We had the opportunity to collaborate within the platform and receive feedback to help us make useful modifications.

The platform makes it easy to seamlessly communicate design ideas across teams. Indeed, you can use it to manage projects throughout an entire company even if you have as many as 10,000 members.

The Pixate Studio platform has a vibrant community of designers who can help you discover new ways of designing products and enhance your experience and that of your clients.

It is the cloud portion of Pixate that requires a subscription and Internet access.

Conclusion

With Pixate Studio, motion design no longer has to remain relegated to high-tier projects with large budgets and plenty of time for allocating resources. The ability to turn around projects quickly makes the platform suitable for campaigns and other short projects. It also makes it easy to define complex interactions without focusing on coding.
