Hi Chris - Thanks for teaching us so much about Fresco with your wonderful videos. Like you - I love Fresco and have introduced it to many friends and singing it's praises over Procreate! I have also introduced them to your channel to learn fresco. But after the Adobe recent new terms of service controversy. What is your talk on this matter? We would love to heard your POV in a new video. thanks

hah thanks so much! It was DEFINITELY on purpose, lol.

Hah they are, I missed it.... thank you though!

@@chris-piascik I thought he was going for the wheels when the dramatic music was playing. Glad I checked the comments first. Great Animation Tutorial. Thanks Chris.

lol thank you!

Hahah 😵‍💫

Thanks! Glad this was helpful!

I appreciate that! Thanks so much!

Glad it was helpful!

Glad it was helpful!

Haha thank you!

haha sorry about that! I don't know how I didn't notice it.

Glad it was helpful!! Thanks!

Hah so glad it’s worked well for you!

Haha thanks! Glad you liked it!

Haha I don’t know how I missed it. Thanks!

@@chris-piascik Sorry to ruin it for everyone, but I believe the wheels are turning in the opposite direction too! Note: I thought the edit was hilarious 😂

@@Triplemyi noooooooo I QUIT! lol

@@Triplemyi I don't have the mental fortitude to deal with this development.

You are correct​ @@Triplemyi drove me nuts the whole video.

Oh cool, yeah I'd love to see your animations! You could always share in the Discord too :)

Oh hmm I'm not that familiar with that, but I can see the similarities! Thanks!

Yesssss you got this!

lol thanks

Ah yeah sorry about that! For this one, my canvas is 3840x2160 and I’m using the retro supply co class inker brush from their Liner Set at size 20.

Thanks! 😃 yeah that would be as easy as turning down the layer opacity

Hey sorry I didnt see this sooner! My comments have been bonkers from the new iPad videos. I haven't had that happen. Does it still open ok?

Yeah, missed those too…

You can create a sequence and then open the file in photoshop and replace the frames (layers) with the images. This works well, but only works if you have Photoshop…

It depends what I am doing, but typically MP4’s. Instagram will automatically loop them when they show up in someone’s timeline, but you can choose how many times you want it to loop in the export options.

Thank you! There’s not an easy way to do that aside from adding in extra frames. Fresco calls these features motion intentionally (as opposed to animation) because they’re for adding continuous looping movement to an otherwise static image.

@@chris-piascik And yet the title of this video says "animation" and several of your videos use the word "animate" in the thumbnail. Perhaps your titles could be clearer - I've been learning the basics of Fresco this week just to hit this wall and now realize I need to start over and look into another program that can better suit my needs. Thank you for the clarification.

@@BenChanNYC I'm sorry if my titles were misleading-that wasn't the intention. I use animation because it's what people would be searching for-and to be clear-it is animation-it's just not traditional timeline based. I mentioned the "motion" nomenclature just to try to explain how Adobe thinks about animation within Fresco.

@@chris-piascik At first I thought the other videos I found were just all covering the basics and I would eventually find a more advanced tutorial (what I'm trying to do isn't even very complicated, which is why I didn't want to dive into something like Adobe Animate) but now I understand. 👍

@@BenChanNYC When I need to do something with an actual timeline I use Photoshop. I also often use them together a bit, where I'll use Fresco to automate certain types of movements and then bring that sequence into photoshop either as a png sequence or just importing is as a video file and placing it on my Photoshop timeline. I'm hoping that Adobe finds a way to make this more seamless but it seems like it might be a pretty niche workflow.

Yeah, I'm a dummy, I realized too late.

Yes you can use the ruler in the drawing aids (bottom right corner)

Hmm that is very strange, I’ve never had that happen. Have you tried it on more than one animation? Just to see if there’s something within the file causing the problem?

@@chris-piascik so i haven't yet, but i have a feeling the files are way too big. The zipped file is 2gb and the fresco psd file is more than 4gb. I went overboard and made 616 frames in a 4000x4000 pixel canvas

@lynx4436 ah yeah that resolution is quite a bit overkill for something that is screen based. You could always resize the document and see if that solves the problem,

Yeah I could see that being cool, but the issue is that Fresco approaches this stuff as motion for an otherwise static illustration vs full-on animation. As a result there’s not a single full video timeline. All movement is looping and happening all at once.

Why are the wheels and the road markings going backwards?

@@altplusg It gets addressed in the video. Just how it is sometimes.

I should have waited till the end 😄

@@altplusg because I'm a dummy.

Ok I just looked it up. Unfortunately they don’t smh

Unfortunately not.

You can, but what would be the point?

@@chris-piascik If I have to make an animated emote for twitch wouldn't It be better to do animation in vector layer so you can scale it without losing quality. Does it work like this or I am confused?

@DidatticaScuola unfortunately it doesn’t. Although you can make your animation with vector brushes, animations themselves cannot be vector. Once you export it as a GIF or video file it will no longer be vector.

Yeahhhhh I’m a dummy

And yet I somehow missed both, lol

@@chris-piascik :-) but your tutorials are really good, i follow all of them, start to learn Fresco

🙄☠️

For the stuff I do, adding motion to an otherwise static illustration and looping stuff it’s hard to beat. The ability to have different timelines on each layer makes it so easy to create this looping parallax effect with just a few taps. The motion paths paired with frame my frame in such a simple way is great. Also, as someone that is first an illustrator, I love being being to do motion stuff in the app I prefer to draw in.

@@chris-piascik umm?! You can do pretty much the same things in blender! There is infinit possibilities and if it doesn't exist you can make it exist!

Punctuation please. Let me fix that for you, then I can reply. "When it comes to animation, Adobe is the worst at it. There was a time when it was good at it but now it just flopped on his head. It's the worst program, the most stressful, and had it program you're ever going to use when coming to animation. You're better off using Pencil2D then this crap. It is a nightmare to work with and it doesn't seem like it's getting anything new. It's the same old piece of software that doesn't seem to get any advanced features for today's modern world use." Pencil2D may as well be Microsoft Paint when it comes to animation. I find Fresco to be exactly what I need for sketching and animating. The app is continually getting updates. An update in June is going to be adding new features. I'm not a professional artist. I've never used an animation program beyond frame-by-frame in Photoshop. But this is what I created in Fresco within a week of getting the program. It's not much, but I created it much faster than if I had done frame-by-frame animating in something as poor as Paint2D: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZrxhaK6EscvUep8.html
