In this video I said that Groups are invisible in your animation; that is not the case. When you use a group in an animation you will see every layer inside that group in one animation frame.

great video, when it comes to sharing as an animated GIF, what does the Alpha Threshold change please?

@VisualTimmy 3 жыл бұрын

Great question. Alpha threshold determines where your alpha layer will begin. Use this setting if you want your gif to be transparent. If the gif is simple in nature, you can just drag the alpha to 80%-ish and it should look good. If your gif is complex and has lots of colors I would pay a bit closer attention to how it changes the transparencies. Export a couple versions and compare them if need be! Think of alpha channel as the channel that defines the outline of your transparency. Sorta like how alpha lock locks only on the pixels that have been turned on 😎🧠🚀

is it possible to animate the foreground and the background or would you have to animate the background and foreground with the rest of the animation? also thank you for this video!!

You’d need to create a new animation, with a transparent background and save as HEVC - then combine them in a video editor 👍🏼

Are you able to have a sketch layer and lineart layer while youre animating? Animating without a rough sketch underneath while im cleaning it up is really awkward

@VisualTimmy 9 ай бұрын

Make a "group" for each layer. then you can have the sketch behind and use it for reference!

@anto_point 2 жыл бұрын

Since layers are frames, how do I move parts of the body (for exemple) independently ?

@VisualTimmy 2 жыл бұрын

You can make a folder (group) and draw the arms and legs/ expressions/ etc. on separate layers. Otherwise, you will need to redraw each frame entirely!

Im not sure how to do it with mine. For example, I made a Drawing and its colourful. If I add a new layer, do I have to draw the whole thing again?

@VisualTimmy 2 жыл бұрын

yes, but it depends on what you're trying to animate. Maybe you painted a character, but you only want to animate the hair and eyes. Then you could duplicate the character's layers and only paint over the eyes and hair - leaving the rest the same. But if you want to animate the entire thing, then you'll either need to repaint it or duplicate it and make your adjustments!

Why is there a blank screen in between frames for me? Is there anything I can do about it?

@VisualTimmy 2 жыл бұрын

If there is a blank screen in between frames it might be caused by a layer. Check your layers panel for extra layers that don’t have anything in them. Be sure to turn them off, or delete them for a smooth animation. 😃

I made an animation where a cat climbs up a book pile. my first three layers of the book pile don't show till the end, so apparently my cat is climbing in the air 😒🙄... Pls help, what do i do about it? Do i need to draw the pile in every layer?

@VisualTimmy 2 жыл бұрын

You can create a layer at the very bottom of your layer stack. Paint any static objects on that layer. Then (while in Animation Assist) tap on the first layer in the bottom bar and press "Background Layer". This background layer will show on every frame of the animation, but it will not move. Hope this helps!

I watched most of the video and I didn't hear you discuss what is doesn't do so great.

@VisualTimmy 4 жыл бұрын

Michael Lakoudis you’re right. Once I finished editing I realized I missed some things I wanted to mention. First, it doesn’t handle extremely high resolution animations very well. Being that your layers are limited by your canvas size, the bigger you go, the less frames you can have. (This is less of a problem in Adobe programs. Second, there’s no automation tools, like smoothing, and ease-in and ease-out. Granted this is a raster program and isn’t equipped to handle vectors and custom code (like after effects). And lastly, I wish that the exporting system was a bit better for exporting to video. Lots of times my animation will render out as a 1 second movie. Even if I have the looping option enabled. I would like to see an option to export an extended loop of my animation. (Example: my 1 second animation loop exported to a 15 second video file). Hope this helps

@@VisualTimmy Thank you very much. Great analysis. I found a great app called Gifvid. Turns a Gif to a video of a desired length or visa versa. So export from Procreate as a Gif should do the trick but like you said it would be good if it was an inbuilt option.

@@Michael_Lak very true! I end up. Exporting to my video to my video editing software (LumaFusion on iOS) and looping it manually so I can add music, etc. Thanks for commenting and sharing Gifvid :)
