I was so frustrated about this whole frame symbols and how the time line behaves. All KZbin tutorials just skipped this section like we already know them. But you saved the day. Thank you millions of times.

[@icreatestuff3610]

Finally someone who explained this frame stuff in a way that I completely understand thank you so much!

[@mystron390]

ok

[@emt155]

my professor NEVER showed us this, just said, add this frame here & animate. but never explained how or what the difference is. Thank you so so much!

[@snorklTV]

Wow. Thank you. So glad this helped.

[@pixulstudios7337]

Short and crisp explanation... i am learning from other channels but i found its lengthy and not to point... You have a niche for straight to point even for a novice ...Cheers for your success

[@snorklTV]

Thanks so much! That's great to hear. I know what it's like to watch those videos that ramble on without any clarity. I try really hard to stick to the point. Its great to know people are appreciating that. Thanks for the sub!

[@mynameistrd6841]

your explanation is much much clearer and more concise than any professional training websites that I have watched!

[@snorklTV]

wow. thanks so much!

[@tubodeensaio8260]

best explanation ever on the topic! thank you so much from a aspirant animator. You own a new sub :)

[@snorklTV]

Wow. so happy to hear that. Thanks!

[@ppunz]

and this absolute legend is STILL hearting comments to this very day, wow, thanks man so so much :))))))))))))))

[@snorklTV]

Thanks!

[@amyerickson8302]

I love how you ddi this video, so much easier to understand. I hate those videos that expect you to create a whole character animation along with the instructor - who has time for that. Please make more videos!!

[@yurynaftaliev874]

A brilliant explanation! To be honest, it has not been easy to find your tutorial. Your video proves once again, that to know something and to know how to explain it are different things. Thank you very much.

[@dnoiam6626]

The first videos to actually explain word for word what a keyfram is thanks 🙏🏽

[@brunomenezes9011]

Finally someone explaining these things. Most just explain everything else as if these ones were understood already

[@snorklTV]

So glad to hear it helped you!

[@phendformyself]

Your tutorials are great. Clear, straightforward, and your style makes them enjoyable. Thank you.

Thank you!

It is now 2021, and this is the best tutorial. I now understand keyframes. Thank you so much.

[@evgeniianagovitsyna6665]

Thank you! So useful! Finally found what I need!

[@marisszen]

Thank you thank you! This was so clear and succinct. I've been reading and trying to understand the difference between frames and key frames and you made it click.

[@jorr1334]

Best Keyframe turorial on the web!!!! Thank you :) Still Relevant 2 years on...

[@TravelalongNZ]

Really good video. As many others said, only video I found and I understood about the frames. I have been juggling a lot and now I am there. Thank you.

[@snorklTV]

Glad it helped!

I am so glad that I found this video. Keep up the good work!!

[@derrickdouglass]

Thanks for explaining this concept in a way that made is easy to understand while not dumbing it down. :-)

[@dianamalovana2898]

Very useful! Thank you so much for clear explanation

[@nyctilia]

I would have needed that so much when I started trying out stuff with other tutorials ... would have spared me lots of time. Now looking through your introductions after having already done some tweens to make sure I have it clearly now xD Thank you :)

[@EricaSzabo]

Thank you for this excellent, very clearly explained video!

Kymberlee Douglas I have a complete course. Lots of techniques you can share with the kids www.creativecodingclub.com/courses/animate-cc-for-everyone. I’ve had students as young as 9 take it. Give it a look if you have time.

Just a question. I'm in New Zealand; how can I find an "online teacher" with your skills to have Screen Share tutorial sessions with?

[@snorklTV]

@@henrymeinesz759 not really sure, but that's why i spent months creating my course: courses.snorkl.tv/courses/animate-cc-for-everyone its the best way I can give lots of people many hours of my time. if you have any questions shoot me an email. my address is on that page.

[@tithiwakhariya8636]

this was really helpful!! I always get confused in this part!:) Thank you!

[@jasondashney]

Thanks for the info. Thumbs up. One thing though: too many KZbinrs spend around a minute explaining what their headline already says. Nobody is listening to a full minute explanation of what's upcoming before deciding whether or not to continue. I want to learn more about keyframes, so I clicked the button but then have to listen to someone go on and on about what's in the video. You've already closed the sale so there's nothing more to gain at that point. It's like being done with your meal but you have to wait for too long to get your bill.

[@snorklTV]

Jason Dashney thanks for watching. This is part of a beginners class where I gently guide first time users. sounds like you may need something more advanced.

[@katlegomotube3811]

you delivered it with very clear explanation. Thank you for helping me finish my assignment :)

[@adobetrial3857]

Hi! I like the way you keep the repeating the differences between those types of frames. It helped me a lot! Anyway, I was wondering how to enable the "Expand frame Span field." I often needed to extend a frame to a couple more seconds and it annoys me how I can only drag the edge of the frame to expand it. I looked up online and the Adobe page says that it's actually possible to simply type in how long I want the frames to last. I don't have that icon to the left of the Visibility toggle on the Layers section. :-(

Thank you very much you explaint it like a pro indeed a nice video.

[@notlocked]

Something simple to understand

[@Akashi.64]

Thanks :>

[@briancoates8348]

What does it mean when the box that marks the end of the span (the one that's useless you say) what does it mean when it's filled in? I'm following school bookwork and I'm asked to create frames for a static background and in the example picture, that box is solid black, not hollow. When I inserted the frames I got the box but it's hollow.

[@snorklTV]

Sorry I’ve never seen that. With a static backround you you would have a filled keyframe in the first frame and regular frames after that. Last frame would be the hollow rectangle.

[@snorklTV]

Check out my course. You can get the whole thing for free for 2 months. You will learn a ton. Link and info above.

[@SallyAli789]

Thank you

[@EverlastingEclipses]

i dont know what i missed but starting out that dot on the first frame is not black dot like you. It was empty circle and when i clicked insert frame it doesnt change like you showed it just shows blue dot and greeen dot connecting a square above the frame

[@snorklTV]

Hi. that's very strange. I don't know why you would have any colored frames unless you were adding classic tweens or shape tweens. I would quit Animate, re-open, and start with a new file.

[@Hii-ec6nr]

thanks, this helped a lot

[@fake8064]

Can u help me ? Whever i draw something at first frame and then select 2nd frame and draw it copies the things from first frame to 2nd frame and that have many white dotntexture on it, i cant draw with it

[@snorklTV]

it sounds like you need add a keyframe (F6) in frame 2 before drawing in frame 2. I would suggest watching more of my beginner videos in the FREE preview of my course: www.creativecodingclub.com/courses/animate-cc-for-everyone There are 30 free lessons there that should help.

[@chrishennessy87]

The first rule of keyframes is... you don't talk about keyframes

[@missourilovescompany3081]

You never explain the difference between a dark gray frame and a light gray frame

[@theamatreneur1162]

I literally keep doing these steps and it’s still wrong. Sigh

[@snorklTV]

Sorry, I'm not sure how to help you. This video just has me drawing in a few different keyframes. What exactly is going wrong? Is there something I'm not explaining clearly? Please let me know.
