Thanks man. I can't afford college so this is all I have. You and Proko have taught me pretty much everything I know.

[@digitalsketchbook4364]

Not me already wasting my money on college

[@mrgolftennisviolin]

@@digitalsketchbook4364 still worth it to give it your all and make the most of the opportunity. It’s overpriced (at least if you’re in the US) but is certainly not a waste. Hang in there

My techer from did the same exercises with us, so u don't are losing too mutch skshsk, and u have more freedom

[@abhinavtiwari2855]

Please suggest more animation exercises like this so I can improve

[@laura79613]

Hey there, you can look up the 51 Animation exercises. I'm sure they'll help.

[@KelseyMA87]

I am a 6th grade history teacher, looking to make custom animations for my lessons (just for fun) and this is the third video of yours I've watched. I am impressed with your teaching style: pacing, explanations, etc. You're a natural! Now I just need to learn how to draw. 😅

[@tedc8021]

I'm happy that there are teachers like you who care so much. I hope the animation is going good!

[@triangle4studios]

@@tedc8021 Agreed. He has teacher potential. Very strong delivery.

[@anndavidson6950]

On a 15 min mark I was like "why can't I just copy-paste the same ball in order to stay true to the size and also make the process faster" and then you said it :), very good and clear tutorial, subscribed!!

[@lauren.heaver]

The tip about the marbles? That just changed e v e r y t h i n g for me 😳 Thank you! 🙏

[@SaggyRats]

I’ve noticed that you do analysis videos on some animations! I think it would be SO cool if you did one on who framed roger rabbit! I adore the way the characters move there 😁

[@Trishpaytaxes]

Really well timed and simple explanations, it was fun to animate along with you too! Thank you for making this video!

[@isaacrichmum8468]

I am greatly in love with your content. I love Acting & for long I have admired to communicate through animations .Just know through your tutorials , I will soon be great Animator. Thank you for all 51 exercises. 🇺🇬.

You make an awesome teacher. I have Dyslexia and found it easy enough for me to understand. No longer looking at the interface in sheer terror @.@. Also i love how you are improving animating skills for everybody. Great job! so grateful for this. Namaste

Incredible tutorials! Loving the process of learning the basics of this software because of them.

[@eggie247]

thank you sir, I'm really stuck at practice, now you give me a lot of exercise, please more content

[@toonybrain]

This is a very good video: Helpful, clear content; essential elements of animation addressed, organized instruction. I came for the OpenToonz - a new software to me - but I was impressed by the presentation of the animation fundamentals.

Thank you AnimatorIslandTV. I am trying to implement some of these concepts in my videos so the help is much appreciated!

Thank you. !👍🔥❤️

[@user-in2im1rw7l]

Really like your explanation flow. Thanks for informative video 👍👍

[@xucaen]

I really liked how before you explained ease in and ease out by using a stack of paper. I'd love to see a video where you show us how to make this type of animation on paper. I think you have ac tendency to explain animation concepts in terms of Opentoonz which muddles the concept. ❤️✌️

[@madhvishukla4332]

Thank you sir , i struggle a lot with timing and spacing, this is very helpful 😊

Also can you do a video solely on Model Sheets? This is the first time I've heard of that and would like to know more. (Ofc i can find other videos but i like to stick with one teacher until i get the half of what I'm learning.) 😎✌️

These are so helpful! I have a ton of amazing stories to tell from my life and I'm just looking for a great medium to tell them in. I currently have Toonly animation & Adobe Premiere pro but I think this free software offers more flexibility for customized images/animations. Thank you for these videos! Your English is amazing by the way.

Why doesn't the Selection Tool work on all levels in Opentoonz 1.5 ?

[@jamyalu8901]

How do you color all frames (in one layer) at once?

[@raphdraws]

You have to do it one by one using a bucket

[@Conradd23]

For some reason my drawings ended up on different levels. frame 1-36 was Level "B" 37-95 was "D" and 96 was E... Any idea why this happened and how to merge them all into the same level?

[@murli123]

Anyone know how to save preferences of inport export

[@da23ad]

Cant save the video in playlist....

[@AzzyC25]

Having a bit of a trouble with the copying levels to change the colors part and couldn't find the FAQ on the website. In the video when you go to replace levels, you select the file location that you want to replace it with and carry on. I tried following along with the instructions, and rewatched the video a few times, but can't get opentoonz to cooperate with me. I'll follow the instructions with replacing the level, but a window pops up asking if I want to Load or Import the file. I've tried both options, but ended up getting a level that opentoonz won't allow me to edit. To be clear, I had this problem when attempting both options. Any advice on how to fix/work around this problem?

[@emicontained6870]

Hi, this is my first day using OpenToonz 1.5, I have an issue with creating new layers, for some reason when I try to open a new vector layer it starts at layer B instead of layer A, and says I cannot name the layer A. This happened again when I tried to copy and paste the time scale from my 3rd layer with the ball to a new layer, it would only let me name it layer D instead of layer C, but I don't have a layer name layer C. I know this is a small detail, but I don't know what's wrong. It's made my first experience with OpenToonz frustrating.

[@fixufixu5651]

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy

[@frenzytechies654]

hello Mr. Ferdinand, I am practicing this right now , but stuck in a problem, so i have this ball but i added another level for the eye and mouth, and for several next frame i created the duplicate (by pressing D , so its not linked, because i want to change the eye and mouth expression) , now after sometime, i realize i need to change/move the intial position of my ball, so how do I can move all the level altogether including the duplicates?, i tried to select all levels and move but only one level is moving, the ball is moving but the eye and mouth didn't move.

[@AnimatorIsland]

That's a cool addition to add a facial expression. Great idea! Yeah shifting multiple columns/layers at once doesn't seem to be easily possible. I would probably parent the face layer to the ball and then move the ball layer with the animate tool (which will then also move the face, because it's parented). Here is my video on how to parent one layer to another: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJPPf2ekedCdmc0

[@AnimatorIsland]

Of course this would move all drawings and all levels on a column. If you only want to move individual frames, you have to set multiple keyframes for those areas - or once again move the lines on the layer seperately and align them manually.

[@frenzytechies654]

@@AnimatorIsland thank you very much, i've finished watching the video. its very useful. I definitely can use that. thank you. great help.

[@sodapop1459]

@@frenzytechies654 ​ @Frenzy Techies maybe just shift select the Columns you want together and in the timeline combo bar press the Collapse icon to create a Sub Level then whenever you want to edit one of the Columns in the Sub just highlight the new sub Level and press the open icon on the timeline combo bar. also if its just Linework on different Columns you might want to link together look into Apply Match lines under the X-sheet tab?

so what is the keyboard shortcut to create a new frame SIR

Just move on the timeline with the arrow keys and start drawing, no shortcut required. With D you can duplicate the current drawing.

Thanks for the tutorial! Quick question: I've got a Column with everything on but some of the drawings are on Level G, some are on Level I and some are on Level J. I don't know how I managed to do this. How can I merge Levels J and I into Level G so that they're all in one place? How do I avoid accidentally doing this again in the future?

[@AzzyC25]

Have the same problem. Did you find out how to fix it? Completely clueless on it. 😅

[@ZupaTr00pa]

@@AzzyC25 Unfortunately not 😢 Never managed to work it out.

[@AzzyC25]

@@ZupaTr00pa Damn. Though think it might have to do with automatically saving and the drawings file location, because every time I try to save it under the proper things, it says there's already a file under that name. 🤔

We can make animation in Android phone with flipaclip app

[@magicalempire]

what I find difficult is eg. I import a set of png parts say 22 parts I can not select all (ctrl A) to scale them equally in one click

[@AnimatorIsland]

If you use the animate tool in scale mode instead of the select tool you can scale an entire layer and all drawings on all frames that are on it at once. This tutorial talks about the animate tool: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sF6yY6B5oLarp6M
