Find out how to animate in Adobe Photoshop using the timeline, video layers and onion skin... But is Photoshop even a good animation software? What are the pros and cons you need to consider before animating in Photoshop?

I strongly only use photoshop for animation because the line quality so good and the way it interact with the pen with extreme accuracy is just like you are drawing on a paper with a charcoal pencil. Drawing in photoshop is so good but moving those drawn picture on specific fps is pain in the a**. Moving those drawn pictures require so much of gpu, if you don't have gpu and only run on RAM(even if it is 16GB RAM), it won't move those drawings smoothly and gonna lag while playing. Cause it is like changing between photoshop layers at 24fps or any other fps, which will require gpu. When i was animating in photoshop it wasn't playing on 24fps but on 3-4 fps, i thought it was because of my 4gb ram that can't handle photoshop, so i expended my ram from 4gb to 16GB but that didn't cause a bit of change in photoshop animation, it was still lagging, so i did some research on internet and found out that animating in photoshop requires gpu and unfortunately i don't have gpu and my laptop so old i can't buy a new gpu for it, so at last i had to compromise to the situation. I draw key drawings in photoshop and then export those key drawings as png files and then import them in opentoonz then draw in-betweens. And btw, you can also use AnimDessin2 plugin for animation, it makes animating in photoshop so easy with its already defined tools. Sorry for the long story, but i don't want anyone else to suffer just like i suffered. Take a note on that low end pc users :D

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and advice. It's really appreciated! Good to know how GPU dependent it is nowadays. I can totally understand how the line quality could be worth it to build these workaround workflows and it's great that you found a way. I am skeptical about using add-ons, because they might break or become incompatible with new versions of Photoshop. Thanks again for these insights and tips! :)

I appretiate this video a lot. Verry Helpful. I spent the past few days trying to figure out how to do animation in Photoshop. I Primarily use Animate, but always thought the brushes in Photoshop would be nice.

PS AnimDessin has lots tools which makes using framebyframe animation in photoshop much easier and faster. Its bascially a collection of custom scripts which does a lot of automated work. For instance @9:40 when you create a new frame, Photoshop indeed adds by default this 5second frame. The AD2 panel allows you to add 1, 2 frames but also custom length frames. Basically what it does in the backend. It adds a new layer and then trims it back to 1, 2 or the custom length. So this saves the user tons of clicking

I added onions skin before and after color as it was pointed out due to a user which linked to this video. It does all the work automated. It's not as clean as CSP, but it works. Also this animdessin2 is free, which the extension he was talking about in the video is not. Difference is, this extension uses frames where the paid extension uses videolayers

Great video! I don't think Photoshop has a default video layer time of 5 seconds, it seems to just fill out the whole timeline start to end. So if you have a shorter time on your background layer, the video layer would be shorter. Still, would have been a good basic thing if you could choose how long it should be😆

Not sure if you were showing cap or cation studio pro in this clip. Both that is best of both worlds. I can do both vector and pixel and also seems to have amazing brush engine. Plus it has way better core functionally for animators vs photoshop

Does anyone know if there is a way to scrub the timeline and hear the audio? Am i missing something, or is that another PS Animation glitch? TIA.
