Once ready, go back to the main timeline, delete off that original drawing layer you created.There’s a red slider above the layers, you want to slide that to the last frame. By default the symbol might have like 60 frames in there, and if you’re only using 10, you want to get rid of the rest now. Trim out any extra frames inside the symbol.Frames is accurate to say, but also remember these should be considered Drawing Substitutions as well, which is a really cool aspect of Animate Now can add/draw on more frames within that symbol. Double click it, and you’ll be inside that symbols timeline.Find the symbol in the library, (it will have the layer name by default, best to rename it now just to be organized).Drag that layer into the library (which will automatically make it into a symbol).Draw the first frame on the main timeline.Flash is simpler, but I’ll explain the advantages after all this… This is a little different from Flash, where you’d create a Movieclip (or the now buggy Graphic clip). I just want to explain the whole looping symbol thing a little better.īasically if you wanted to have a looping symbol in Toon Boom Animate or Animate Pro and you wanted that constantly running on the main timeline, I’ll list out the best steps to take below. The highlights include a much-appreciated Text tool, better SWF previewing and exporting (with Filter FX), new Sound display (which I’ll tackle in a future video dedicated entirely to the topic of lip sync), Blending FX and finer color tuning. Also because its been a while since I taught an Animate lesson I had to remind myself of a few things I’d forgotten, so I threw in some general Animate instruction as well, in case you’re rusty too. But now you can watch me talk at length about it in the video. What’s that you say? There’s an Animate 2 out!?!?! Yep, it launched while I was on vacation recently, and I didn’t get a chance to properly announce it here. And the second video ( this one) was recorded by yours truly, and features some of the new stuff in Animate 2. The cooler looking video (based on the preview image) is the one with the old western dude and this was done by Justin Cook who will be spearheading some character templates and tutorials with Animate. Hey Howdy Hey! I’ve just gotten done adding two new videos to CartoonSmart’s Animate channel on Vimeo.
