The Animation Size dialogue appears, containing options for setting the parameters your flipbook. The imported images can be flattened PNG, JPG, and BMP or layered PSD images.

Learning to create FlipBooks is unbelievably fun! Imagine sending someone a sketch that comes to life. Callipeg is more in that vein.NOTE: The FlipBook tools are only available in Sketchbook Pro on Mac and Windows desktop. 
It is not specifically geared to doing heavy animation work. Like I said above, Procreate is a good all purpose app for art and some animation. And you can export to formats that are compatible with Photoshop I am no visual artist myself so this is a new world to me!
It would be even better if it is also available on macOS. Ideally I’d like one app that is easy to learn but also powerful enough that he won’t quickly outgrow it, that can do drawing as well as animation. I have a 3rd party apple-type pen and he has tried out a few of the basic free drawing apps but I respect the opinions of forum members and am keen to hear what you would recommend. My 10 yr old son is becoming increasingly interested in digital art (he already has books full of pen and pencil drawings), especially with the possibility of being able to animate stuff. I know there are at least a few of you here who are into visual arts.
