For the record, CSP is planning some questionable plans for future payment models. There has been a lot of protest on this topic. Hence why I can't make recommendations about what version of the program to get anymore. However, existing licenses will remain valid even IF they go through with their stupid plan shift, and thus this tutorial is still valid. But also, CSP's asinine payment model isn't what this video is about. If you're here to complain about that to someone unaffiliated with CSP, consider the alternative: don't.

I have never animated (still learning to draw, in all honesty. Especially on a tablet). But I'm keeping this saved. This looks like its gonna be a big help to me one day. And for that, you have my utmost gratitude.

I never in my life would have thought to use an animation folder for alternates in artwork. That is absolutely genius. I'll definitely be doing that in the future

The bit about how the animation file can be used as a way to make art variants blew my mind. I've been doing the tedious method this whole time and never considered that. Would love if that CSP file was a patreon reward or something to learn from. This vid was SUPER helpful!

Yay an up to date tutorial for CSP Thank you Zedrin!💜💚

Im so glad i finally found your csp tutorials!! ive been wanting to learn how to animate on csp pro and your tutorials have been so straightforward, simple and generally easy to understand 😭🧡🧡 kudos man

I love that you keep improving upon your tutorials, I respect that! Subbed!! ♥

I think it's funny that last night before bed I wanted to learn how to animate in CSP so I watched your last video about it, and now I woke up and the first thing I see on my timeline was you making a new tutorial lmao. This'll be good to know whenever I need to animate something again though. :)

I know animation basics but always used to do a hair rippingly tedious animation style of using Windows GIF Animator where I would have to draw every frame individually in a seperate program, import them into that program, then fiddle with each individual image to get the playback time ect i want. Other tutorials for this assume you're a super pro animator and use lots of terminology derived from other animation programs that a person that animates a bit TOO traditionally ( as windows gif animator is essentially like a digital flip book ) LOL might not know. This is a great tutorial that made even a slow learner like me feel like I actually knew what I was doing, thank you so much for this! You're golden!

Thank you so much!!!! You've helped me make a lot of progress with process. I always get stuck using this program for animation

This is THE BEST animation tutorial I've seen, you taught me literally everything I needed, I am VERY grateful to stumble upon this. Just... thank you man!

First time hearing your voice and wow you sound good. Also like how you get right into the tutorial without much hassle.

Heya! I remember your last video, it's cool to see the neat new tricks you've picked up on since then!

I'm still learning how to draw in the first place, but thanks I'll be sure to save this for the future when that day comes!

This is very interesting I'm going to practice my drawing immediately

Oh my gosh keep going is going keep going this design I love this design it looks so nice good job keep going good job we all love it

this tutorial saved my life! finaly... yours first cant helped me ,.. but, this one, yeah!!! thx a lot

Thank you sososo much for this !!

Happy birthday!

Thank you so much🤗

Shortening them to make them frame by frame is something I never thought about because of a thing on tumblr explaining the anim tools in csp so you have the cels

Perfect CSP tutorial drops day after I finished an animation in Krita what is this luck

Thanks

I know that I can't animate but this video is really informative ngl 👏 👌

I don't know why but I find animation to be extremely complicated. Even after watching this video, there's a lot of confusion in my head and I tend to blank out (by no fault of Zedrin at all). I'll have to watch this many times and work at the same time to try to understand it better

Hey Zedrin, after doing animation for so long (and great work btw), have you ever had any regrets or considering changing careers out of animation? I suppose the core of my question is really how you stay motivated to pick up the stylus everyday consistently for so long without getting burnt out or tired of doing it

Wow 😳

Cool

You were right this one confuses me way less

I cannot wait to try this out after my assignment :) Thank you so much! I did not know tweening was even optional, especially tweening already made frame by frame animations! How do you do that really? Would like to know for future reference

Grazi cool robocat man

your vids are so helpful!! but just one question; How do i extend the seconds on an animation cel? ive seen your old video but somehow it doesnt work the way yours does, mine has previews of each cel on it and idk if it makes a difference or not on how to extend the time on each cell

FIRST AND this literally helped so much now i can figure out how to do animate better.

Are there any specific tips you could give for animating to an already existing audio source, such as voices or music? I'm kind of new to trying to animate, and watched your old tutorial and it helped me understand animating a ton. 😁 I already love this one too, but just wondered if there's any particular tips/tricks that could help with that sort of setup, since I'd love to animate to a beat of sort, while the animation still remains smooth. 🤔

❤ Really good tutorial, I'm willing to follow, only doubt... what is the brush that goes by " ペンピツ " can't seem to find it! 😅

Ok just to clarify: if I have Pro, and want to use this feature for displaying and exporting alternative outfits like you demonstrated, I am still only limited to 24 frames right? So, I can make 24 drawings, as long as each drawing is 1fps?

Looks interesting but I’m not really gonna be watching I’m leaving a comment and like to help with the algorithm But I do love your art style on the Newgrounds

When i turn my lineart animation folder to refrence and use the bucket tool to fill in the color animation layrr it still exceeds the line! I made sure there wasent ant gap too!

Hi! I have a problem, i seem to cant colour in my animation cel even using the fill tool. It just doesnt detect a line and when i use magic ward, it only detects the border

Question, when I set my entire line art folder as "set as reference layer" and then go to my color folder, it colors the entire background which I don't want. The thing is my line art is already connected and set as reference layer but still colors the whole background?

When I’m animating in CSP, when I play the animation the quality of the individual frames drops significantly. But will return to normal when I pause. Is there a way to fix this so there’s consistent quality? I’m creating sprites for a game, so it’s kinda important to make sure all of the frames play together smoothly, and properly.

I was really exited to try this, but hell no, i just got anxiety from watching the video, i dont understand softwares, imma keep doing my stuff on figma hahha

I hate when artists say more frames does not mean better animation, yes low framerate can look better than high but that low framerate had alot more effort per frame than the high in that situation, or there are simply mistakes in the higher framerate piece, but if equal effort is applied per frame higher framerate allows for increased detail and options which, scaling with how detailed the piece is, will increase the quality of the animation. It's a balance, more frames means more work and if you either don't want to or aren't capable (deadlines/ability) then use a lower framerate, but if you are willing to put in the effort and have the time to do so, especially if you aren't making a fairly simplistic animation, then it will result in a better final product, to a point, obviously animating beyond 60fps is almost certainly more effort than it could possibly be worth, and even then 60 fps is probably excessive most of the time but 60fps is generally used as a baseline for clear smooth motion, mostly in video games, but going up to 40-50fps from 24-30fps will allow more clarity in motion and generally translates to a better final product. People often point to professional animation from massive companies still using the cinematic 24fps but that is just the minimum they can produce something that looks professional, more frames=more money and companies always prioritise profits. Again I'm not saying lower fps=bad I just hate when people say something has no real benefit when it's more situational. I've seen some surprisingly good looking sub 10fps that use smearing etc very effectively to give the appearance of smoothness.

The problem here is CSP lost plenty of users. I think everyone knows why.

…I’m listening…

ok

Is Clip Studio Paint free?

You have funny words, magic man.

;)

Huh

I was with you up until the part where you introduced your rocket science known as animation folders
