alan is the man!! awesome tutorials..

[@nonam22686]

5:05 this part isn’t working for me, can someone help?

[@kamalanayangauranga3409]

Alan you didnt mention about the pencil type whether its a straight, smooth or ink type, by default its set to straight and thats where people face problems, like they want to draw a jagged closed curve but a square comes up, so u gotta change the pencil type first

[@Mayo130]

Aalok Sarma yes this confused me at first and I figured it out was Ink mode. Took me a while... he could have said it was ink...

[@Woioioi_]

Just what i wanted nice! You should show us how to have looping backgrounds, for instance if a guy is running sideways across the screen make the background seems like its moving without the annoying judder everytime u reset it for the loop.. if you know what i mean

[@devon_mistek_giannino]

Thanks alanbecker tutorial!!!

[@jacksontoonz]

I had searched many animation tutorials.. But Alan Becker is the Best.... Is there any other word Better than Best. Ill use...

awesome videos

[@maltedpeaches6796]

whenever I try to draw in pencil, it always converts it to a line or circle, or sometimes even a rectangle... does anyone know how to stop that? sorry if this is a stupid question

[@OfficialMatrVincent]

Okay, so I came here for an alternate solution to making backgrounds, because I have Photoshop and not Flash. Here's the thing; Photoshop does not have a tool to remove pencil, like Flash does. I've looked everywhere for an answer and can't find one. I look in this video and find that this miracle tool does not exist in the program. So basically what you're saying is that if you don't have that tool, you can't make backgrounds. Terrific.

[@theomniscientbrothers5113]

In photoshop, draw with pencil in one layer, and paint the object in another layer. When done delete the first layer :)

[@Andyman620]

I suppose you could experiment with masks to try and get rid of the lines. If not, you could use a very thin line or manually go over the lines.

[@akshaytati]

Flash doesn't even have remove pencil tool... He just changes the stroke colour to none

[@Will-c2d]

well obviously not seen as its Alan Becker tutorials and he's the best animator ever!! ☺

[@mokshn9731]

and i also wanted to ask you how can you use your animations...are they just for fun? Or do they have any other important use..please answer

[@fionnsterr]

it can be used professionally, like there is loads of animation jobs like working at disney or for tv or something

[@mokshn9731]

thx

[@wunkus9821]

When I use the pencil tool, it makes strait lines and curves and most of the detail is lost. For example, I once drew a fire shape with the pencil tool and i got a perfect ellipse. This has made me prefer the brush tool and rarely use the pencil tool. Is there any way to disable this? Thanks!

[@wunkus9821]

+Aidan Cannatelli I found out how to do it, and for those of you having this same problem: click the pencil tool, then go to the settings for it beneath the tools. One of them allows you to change whether pencil strokes are straightened, smoothed, or free-form like ink.

[@wunkus9821]

***** You're welcome :)

[@TotallyTally]

Even after 4 years, this is very helpful!

[@foxieyt5195]

Man i feel bad for alan becker bc he is working hard for us...

Typing "First" or "First comment" doesn't really count as a comment, it's just a stupid thing that people type to look congratulated, which their not congratulated, just ignored.

How do you show the outline of your stage? I want to create a background, but then I can't see the size of my original stage.

[@gator652]

+MurstenMovies See where it says 100% at the top right corner on his screen? If you click that and click "Fit window" or something along those lines it should show the outline

[@chapp612]

+Wolf “Sky Lightning” C. That kinda helps. Do you know how he got the red outlines on his stage? Is there an option or did he just draw it? Thank you for responding to my comment though.

[@gator652]

MurstenMovies My pleasure, and no, I'm not sure how he got the lines. I think it has to do with some sort of tween, or command. There outta be some tutorial online somewhere.

[@chapp612]

+Wolf “Sky Lightning” C. I have been looking for a while, but I can't seem to find a tutorial. I think I'll just outline the stage with my pencil tool. Thanks for the help!

[@gator652]

No problem! And good luck!

[@PieChiefcountergamer]

At adobe animate cc. The pencil tool will automatically create straight lines. Like when i create the clouds. All the edges are not smooth(curved) but instead they are sharp. Anyone knows how to fix this?

Make the backgrounds in photoshop and copy/paste them in.

trust me, not worth do it in Photoshop cos it going spoil background... happens to me so all you need is Illustrator - much better than Photoshop.

@@FizzieBro i agree, it always ends up pixelated if you copy it from Photoshop.
