youtubers are always like "omg you can hear the plane in the background you can hear the construction in the background" so i have to give you props in the fl studio segment for having the only background noise I've heard on youtube that's Genuinely loud and obnoxious

[@Low_qualityKel]

"sorry if you can hear, but theres a 600 pound bomb testing in the background, lets get started" (maybe 1 quiet thud in the background)

[@HungryWarden]

“Sorry if this disrupts the video, but Russia is testing more powerful nuclear weaponry, hope it isn’t too distracting!” The video: *one tiny crackle in the background*

[@Thewalliest]

"Sorry if it's a little loud during this part, the volcano that my manor is built atop is currently erupting" (Quiet rumbling audible for two seconds)

[@geteatenbyme1366]

"sorry guys if you can't hear me, 20 sonic booms are currently happening rn" tiny little squeak is heard for like half a second

The Rubik's cube one was definitely the most interesting

[@justkidding0147]

Yes, very Interesting

[@DarkMusic110]

probably took the longest

[@MegaMonkeVr]

Yeah like how did pro use a Rubik’s cube to make an animatio

[@Lolo_fried]

I know you are most likely to be a cuber

[@cvcubes8578]

It more interesting in the context of what he is doing, but very useful learning how to do algorithms you could visualize what it looks like to do them instead of using the written algorithm

[@iamcurun1r]

I love how anything Rubik's cube related just comes back to commutators, like you have a random puzzle you want to solve you use COMMUTATORS you want to spend hours animating a walk cycle on a virtual cube just use COMMUTATORS anyway very funny video Tom I really enjoyed watching it

[@songgie]

one thing i learned years and years ago was that if youre in MS pant, set colour one as the colour you want to change, black in this case, then the second colour as what you want it to be, pink here. use your eraser brush and hold right click instead of left click and drag your mouse across the piece. itll change the black ONLY no matter what other colours you have on the piece

Fun fact: you can also probably animate a walking cycle using FL Studio's built in visualizer editor

[@dumaass]

Also you could make it play the animation in the pattern by turning on the scrolling and making it not continuous.

[@dayleywhaley2420]

Yes me and my brother actually used it to make a 1 minute anime concept trailer, as you can load images, gifs and such into it (as back then we didn’t have decent video editing software), then you can use automation clips to key frame any of the controls within it

Very cool. The cube was bananas. I recall trying to get ChatGPT to create ASCII art a good while ago. The results were predictable given the technology (and similar to your results). Glad us animators aren't entirely replaceable just yet. Good to see the elliotsacoolguy shout out too.

[@valuerie]

10:21 Fun fact! AI *DOES NOT* understand what it's "supposed" to be doing in any context. It's been trained on what text output is most likely to occur in response to your prompt. There is no language acquisition or deeper understanding about anything, even about what basic object/word pairs like apple are. Apple is a word symbol, and also a real world object that we have paired with the symbol "Apple" in our minds. The AI only ""understands"" that there exists a symbol "Apple" and that there is a % probability that that symbol will appear next given an input prompt. Again, at present Generative AI, Large Language Models, and Machine Learning Algorithms are not learning and do not understand anything. They are not alive.

[@valuerie]

also I'm pretty sure if you zoomed in in FL Studio it would follow the playhead through your animation. But this is an old video. Anyway!!!

[@lofwyr5063]

I thought about animating in mspaint before, well, not mspaint cause I don't use windows anymore, but one of the linux equivalent mspaint programs, combined with a window manager that keeps all windows in a workspace fullscreen in a sequential stack that uses keyboard shortcuts to go back and forth through the stack. Then either start as many instances of the paint program as you want frames, or start, like three instances and use those for frame A, frame B, and the inbetween between them and save, reload and organize accordingly. I wouldn't have thought of doing it all in one instance of paint like you did.

[@Figureight]

That rocket ship laptop fan is screaming "MSI Laptop" so hard.

[@mikec4111]

You’ve honestly got some fun and creative ideas man! I wanna see this channel succeed and grow so badly. You know you should reach out and do an episode with those amazing host folks from Drawfee! Their channel is pretty big and I feel like you’d not only get some more viewers through them but really get along with them too. They do some equally fun and creative drawing ideas that you’d fit in well with, and they do co-hosts and guests all the time!

[@X4R80]

15:03 you can also just put a dot at the start and the rest spaces, or if you wanna do it the pro way, put a "bold space" (** **) at the start, instead of a dot

[@takaielliott2391]

About to watch the full vid, but I love seeing KZbiners watch KZbinrs I like. Loved both the inspo vids you mentioned and Ik I’m bouta live this one

[@puzzlick7088]

For ms paint if you use the eraser, I think it's the first color you want to erase. Second is the background color and hold right click to remove just that. So, like pink and white for this

[@squeakyfoxx]

small note(get it?) for the FL studio part if you do more like it, turn on "monophonic drawing" in settings -> general. this makes drawing notes more like drawing in an actual art software. I use it all the time for quickly sketching out chromatic scales and runs and whatnot before quantizing it. super useful

[@YSNostalgia]

The Rubik's cube animation gave me inspiration for my own creations. great work!. (:

When I was a kid I used to make animations in Microsoft paint in a different way I drew one frame, then I copy pasted it and undo it all. Then I copy paste it back Then i use the delete tool and delete that then I draw the second frame and undo it and the delete Then I copy paste that on it and I keep doing this for all the other frames And you press ctrl z to go back to the start and ctrl y to see the animation

its not the program that matters its YOU

[@trubb225]

Hi, CyanSandwich! my main art system is MS Paint, and I'm pretty sure you probably already figured it out, but the "onion skin" thing you were on about wasn't working because you were saving in the JPG format. This means that, when it's saved, it'll garble up the colours, hence why it didn't work. if for some god forsaken reason you ever want to try MS Paint again for animations, save your frames as .png files. it'll make it work a LOT better.

[@CyanSandwich]

For fl studio you can automate what page you’re on on fruity notebooks 2 so you could use ascii art and automate the pages
