So, I'm not too happy with this tutorial anymore, so I've since updated it! Check out the newest version here! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m5qDlMt9tZfdeWQ.html

“I’m going to assume you know how to use clip studio on a basic level” Me, who has been using it for three years: well this will be eas- “And that maybe you know what a vector layer is” Me: * heavy sweating *

My dumb ass mind reading the thumbnail: "How to animate in SCP" *Hold up*

Me at the start of the video: I can't wait to animate! Me at the end of the video: 👁️👄👁️ WHAT

I'm so glad I want to make comics instead of animation, this sounds insane.

CRYING CAUSE THIS MIGHT AS WELL BE IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE..

You: Its easy! Me,crying trying to find how to make a new layer: yeah it sure is

"no" "don't do that" "or you will die" Bro that's what we do as artists: We pour our heart and soul into what we do, get two notes on tumblr, and then shrink and die in a corner before we are resurrected with black magic and do it all over again

Yo, your kind of humor really made this work for me. Trying to get into CSP's animation portion is so daunting because of the videos/ tutorials being too wordy with their vocabulary or bland. It makes me zone out way too much. But I like your video because it's like you're snapping your fingers at their dog to get their attention. Yes, I'm saying that I'm the dog in this situation.

this might sound dumb but i usually avoid instructional videos because i have a really hard time focusing after a couple minutes with my ADHD,,, but the memes you added helped keep me engaged! i really wish there were more teachers that implemented humor into their teaching while still being helpful and informative, it makes a world of difference for me

I can't figure out how to add new animation cell between the 2 existing ones

7:38 proof of digital art in a nutshell

GOD i wish you were around when i first got CSP, i tried animating and did the 1 frame a second thing you reverbed not to do because I WAS A BIG DUMB DUMB

5:34 It should be *"Stepisode more than 2 but less than 4"*

You: Its easy! Meanwhile: I CANT USE THE SECOND LAYER

definitely saved for later reference, this is gonna help a lot

I've learned more in this video then I did in 4 years of learning by my self. the power of having other people explain things to you.

Hopefully this tutorial was enough to get you started. Animation's hard work and it probably still feels daunting, but it gets way easier when you don't have to wrestle with the program to do it. btw, obligatory shill, I have some new merch available! crowdmade.com/collections/zedrin Anyway, I've also got a livestream today. I'm gonna be trying to learn a program of my own, and messing with blender: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n7FlnK2Gp9e-fps.html Also, for comments unironically trying to argue the pronunciation of "gif", please see the disclaimer at 12:01

Hey Zedrin, I'm a big fan of yours and also animate using CSP, did you know that just like specifying a vector as the first frame to make others a vector layer, you can add layer folders and any cell afterwards has the same folder structure and layer names inside, I think this makes having multiple elements way easier to manage.

I literally have been looking for instructions this entire hour on how to get all my frames visible and you're the only one who plainly said "an animation folder for every cel" and I'm so freakin grateful. @_@ ty ty ty ty. I'm a dolt, you are amazing. I rest my case.

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Other videos tend to ramble and overdo the engagement, so I really appreciate how simple and straight to point this video is. The sprinkles of humour are also a nice touch. Great work :)

This tutorial covered a LOT of ground in a relatively short time, which is great for some people, but confusing for others. If you're looking for something that's a bit slower paced, I've designed an OFFICIAL tutorial series over on the official channel! You can check out the series with the first video here: kzfaq.info/sun/PLzSHl36nXG14ZerXV7DAudYUcvNwZFRN_ This series goes a lot more in depth over the animation process and covers things a bit more thoroughly. Each week a new part of the series will go up, to a total of 6 videos, so look forward to it!

your enunciation is so clear and engaging, great job you're a fantastic teacher

New to using CSP, figured that my experience with PS would be enough to let me just to explore CSP in general to pick up the differences. Then I felt inspired to try a lil animation, saw the animation folder and realized I was not going to be able to intuit myself through this. This is an excellent video, thank you for sharing, I'm sure I'll be referencing this a lot!

hi! i'm at the 4-minute mark of your video, and I like the pace you made. You went right to the point, made it amusing in a short amount of time without being blahblah like other videos. thank you ^^

I'm new here but this dude makes it so easy to pay attention to the video. i mean the memes are strangely helpful xD

Thanks so much for this guide.

I've not found a tutorial on csp that I could actually pay attention to until now. Thank you for being hella informative!!

Thank you so much. I had to watch this several times and come back to this as I'm learning animation. I subscribed. And the humor is a nice touch!

“It’ll be easy” I am still trying to figure out why it only plays one of my frames.

I know that cel animation can be confusing, but I find it more convenient as you can make a frame last as long as you like instead of just copying frame after frame (like I did when I used Flipaclip)

It was one of my first times using CSP and this tutorial was really simple and straight-forward. Thanks ^^

I watched several videos on the matter but yours is the first one i actually got it. thank you so much!

Thanks for the tips! As far as importing your image sequences into Premiere goes, you can set your default fps for importanting in preferneces to 24fps rather than 30fps. I don't remember when I learned that, but its super helpful if you primarily use Premiere for 24fps animation.

This was the single most comprehensive tutorial for animation without over analyzing on unnecessary steps. Good job, Subbed!! I use tahoma 2d. But I use clip studio to illustrate for my comic book issues.. just wondering if you could do a tutorial on lip syncing in clip studio as well?

In less than *10 seconds* you explained _everything_ I needed to know about this program regarding what I can and cannot do where-as I have not been able to get a simple straight-answer searching online for weeks now. Thanks bro!

So Glad that I played with the Bezier Lines & Vectors in Microsoft Paint back in the 90's ~ I am so ready to be an Animator!

Hey! Thank you for making the only comprehensive hand animation tutorial from CSP I've managed to find! After years of frustration and suffering I might actually be able to animate a thing properly in this program without wanting to evaporate 5 seconds in

Bonus tip for the complex characters part... use the 3d model editor that comes with CSP. Make a 3d model using blender or w/e you would like to use, edit it with the CSP software, import it into CSP and use that model. It will save you so much time, so long as the character is super complex.

Thanks for the tutorial, really helpful! Didn't know a thing in animating in CSP before, really glad I found your video first before starting.

Love this program because I can animate and create scenes with a painterly feel if I wanted to. Highly recommend!

I animated a fan animation of Yoimiya with clip studio paint and this really helped! I use EX instead of PRO tho. But every setting is just the same tbh

this is the best tutorial channel i ever seen. And i see a lot of tutorials.

Why are these tutorials so good like I actually want to watch this and never get bored lmao.

zedrin! ya didnt explain file objects! they're basicly symbols and can replace folders entirely so you can bone animate. nevermind, its not super worth it really just use flash

13:06 : "says i should consider watching thiat video" Me: I'll consider watching everything. As a wise man once said: "I'll take your entire stock!!"

I'm just getting into animating and this was massively helpful, thank you! :D

Oh awesome. Love it when you upload. Hope you are doing well!

thank god i animate using clip studio paint and previously there were only like two tutorials it's a nightmare learning a new program when you don't have a reference

5:09 Saving this for later

Zedrin thank you for the key frame tips

Just changing my drawing app from AAnimate to CSP cuz why not.. and turns out the difference is little! Thank you so much! Your explanation is top point! Very easy to learn.

"And yes it's pronounced "gif" fight me" Subscribed

How can I make a layer that is always present no matter where I am in the timeline? Is that what a vector layer does?

you explained it perfectly, and it seem to work similliar to photoshop's timeline

HALLELUJAH!!! I FINALLY FOUND A CSP TUTORIAL!!!!!! THANK U!! ☺️😫👌😆

I learned to use separate animation folders the hard way

One hand, helpful... other hand, said gif as “jif”.

gonna need to rewatch this a few hundreds of times

i'm only 5 minutes in so far and let me just say; you? are a god. thank you ohmygod you've no idea just how much this video has helped me

i swear ive watched this like 4 times and i just... dont Understand™ i dont understand how csp can be so far ahead of the game and also be so behind with this overly complicated layout when krita, a free program, has a much cleaner workflow i do appreciate your video though, i reference it every time i try test animations in CSP

Imagine those anime animators : ( Hopefully they get a raise

Do you know how much I love you for this? Thanks mate ♥ Hope you have a great day ♥

This tutorial is amazing. Thank you so much dude!! Got EX not too long ago, hopefully I can make something cool with these tips!

i would recommend exporting the animation as a movie, it makes it an mp4 with whichever framerate you want and you dont have to edit each cell together may i ask why you prefer image sequence?

I literally just learned how to use a goddamn tablet oh my god what have i started this is gonna suck

Oh look, it's a new favourite channel!

thank you! got csp for christmas so i could start animating (on other things besides flipa clip. rip my fingers) and this was really helpful!!

Well this could be useful for killing time.

I was just trying to animate in csp yesterday, it’s like you saw me shorten the frames and went: No. Time for a tutorial.

This actually was helpful, and also very amusing to watch XD Thanks for helping!!!

thank god for this tutorial, it's engaging and is very simple with explanation and iT MAKES SENSE

*thumbs down for pronouncing GIF as JIF* *thumbs up for the Grade A "Choosy artists choose JIF" pun* No but seriously this was hella helpful. Thanks for the fun explanation!

"GGGIF" I'm just gonna overhear it cuz the tutorial was really helpful but each time he said it it triggered me...

Dude just summarized everything that took me a year to learn in a few minutes

oh its you zedrin! i didnt even realize until i recognized the character you were drawing!

ok i admit i laughed a bit watching you draw a circle for the head several times bc same, been there, absolutely struggled with that so many times before anyways i've been using photoshop to animate up until this point, and honestly, this seems SO much easier, bc it's like combining the convenience of flash with the actual ability to draw something reasonably good like in photoshop (flash's drawing software is horrible, i hate it so much) so thanks for the tutorial!

very very helpful, even came back after watching once bc i forgot and still very clear for me, tysm!

This was a very clear tutorial :) Thank you for your tips!

Liked for the amazing CSP animation tutorial. Subbed for the GIF pronunciation stance. ✌️

Solid work!

You are a lifesaver dude, finally I get it

just got a cintiq after 7 years of wanting and now im chillin here sky high on the zaza CRYING MY EYES OUT at all the features ive suddenly got access to :’)

I learn really easily . Thank you for this

i love you, thanks for this it's so helpful

Thank you! It's really helpful and I learned a lot

I feel the need to give you and others this tip. Right click your cel layer that you've drawn on, and select the option "Create Folder and Insert Layer". You can now use a folder for your cel and your 1 cel can now have any number of layers from sketch to clean up instead of stacking animation folders on top of each other and struggling with the excessive amount of layers spread out in the layer panel. It's much easier on your first cel to insert into a folder with a right click then name your layers sketch, cleanup etc and go from there. Each new cel will automatically have the folder created for the next frame once you do this. It will have an identical number of layers inside saving you the time of adding them again. This can be done with the iPad version as well. Try it out. I think you'll find it's much easier to animate with and far less cluttered. It makes it easier to use 1 animation folder if all your cels are inserted into a folder. If you manually add a folder for your cel, rename it to the cel number so it will work properly, go to timeline and rightclick and select that number to see it appear in the timeline if it doesn't appear for whatever reason. This is especially important if you want to use keyframes with camera effects for different animation folders later in your project. You won't have to copy and paste those camera keyframes across multiple animation folders if you organise it this way for an individual character.

ok but.... THANK U SO MUCH!!! THIS HELPED SO MUCH

Thanks! This really helped.

This excites me as a traditional animation graduate. I’ve been looking for some affordable animating software 🥲😭😁

Why cant all tutorials be this enjoyable.

HOLY SHIT IT'S ZEDRIN!

I love that I was just watching as I was trying to learn coming from TVPaint, and then I was like "huh... that character looks like PV-02.. Damn it IS! This dude's a fan... WAIT THIS IS ZEDRIN!!!"

It made sense to me. Thanks a lot.

Thank you. This helped me a lot.

This helped me a fucking lot more than i expected it, i love csp now more than before just bc i wanted something similar to flash to animate but in raster and now i have it. thank you sm

This is so helpful, thank youuuuu

after using csp for 2 years finally decided to try animation, watched this video and yeah... my college level physics makes more sense

😭💕 you are the best

Me watching and then watching it again to take notes. Also thank you, this was very helpful ^w^
