[@Howdoyouchangepf]

Dude I don't know where you are or what you're doing now but thanks for your 3 recent videos teaching me how to swap frame lip sync and modify rotations

[@TonyG718]

Wow, As an artist, it’s hard to find both great artist who also give clear, concise explanations during tutorials. Well done. Instant sub.

[@viciousgamer0619]

Short, Simple and straight to the point, love it. Seriously bro you saved my hide, you basically summarized several hours of my teachers lecture into a video less than 10 mins.

[@Hik4rol]

I swear to GOD, I been fighting with the damn software all evening until I watched this. Your tutorial was simple and straight to the point!! You just saved my life!! Thank you!!!!

[@kylexfourie58]

Niggha ive been fighting😢😂

[@nyahilistic9276]

Recent animation school graduate here: Currently using your videos to help me enhance my portfolio for the industry! Thanks for making this and I love how concise everything was!! :)

[@chiikawaamelody]

im curious; how was animation school?

[@forzenfukuroanimations]

I think your the first person I could understand talking about all this rigging stuff for the first time. I need to learning how to do flash rigging...and you explained it in the most simplest way! Thank you!

[@Snoop1000Skins]

Nice! You should consider a “how to design a character“ video.

[@epictechtamil2512]

Absolutely

[@gigibeanboo]

Definitely

[@Mr_penguin69]

Good idea

[@alikhalid6170]

Absolutely, Definitely, Surely, Good idea

[@AJKurano]

Agreed

[@DigitalDrew92]

Great video man, the animation segments look so good. That seems like a whole lot of work to do but the end result is great. I'm sure things get crazy when you have a very complex character design. Keep up the stellar work Chad, I really enjoy watching these.

[@Chitchadshow]

Thanks for watching! There's definitely a benefit to more simplified character designs, that for sure. The few times I worked with complicated character rigs I needed a whole screen just for all their control layers and it got pretty crazy. Glad you are enjoying the new content!

[@Axarch]

Ridiculously informative! I'm subscribing if this is kind of quality I can expect. You need more views.

[@Chitchadshow]

Thanks for checking out the video!

[@ThatsValForYa]

you explained one of the most seemingly complicated things in animating in the simplest way i have EVER heard!!! insanely good video, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@amirasyahida6994]

why i cant seperate the character in adobe animate? i cant make button with seperate part. its gonna be whole character button :(

[@akshitpanicker9790]

Why on earth did it take so long for me to find your channel bro? Short, well explained and practical usage in less that 10 minutes is what i needed.

[@dhruvrajsinhjadeja-vfxarti3085]

This is one the greatest life changing tutorial on the Internet for 2d animations. Thank you very so much sir for this tutorial :)

[@lkityan02]

As someone that knows 3d rigging already, this is really straight forward and easy to pick up. Great video btw

[@MattsNotes]

This is literally the only helpful video in existence for rigging characters that I've found! Wow haha nice work! I've been transitioning to animate, and even adobes own videos are not this helpful

[@Chitchadshow]

Appreciate the feedback. Glad this video helped!

[@owenhuwmorgan]

Love your work. I’m an animator just like you

[@bhagathitesh]

Took me back to 2000 when it used to be called Macromedia Flash which I learned on my own and there wasn;t KZbin and was enjoying making 2D animations and interactive widgets gradually until Flash wiped out for 2 -3 years completely and I start different direction but fortunately I still remember all the tools and shortcuts and commands to apply May be I spend more time and with Animate and do some more 2D animations at some point

[@Bingleheimer]

Thanks mate! Happy animatin

[@CoLewGaming]

Hey Chad! Just curious how do I save a character that I’ve drawn? So I drew Spider-Man and I have him all rigged and ready to animate but I want to use him in future animations. How would I save his objects? Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial!

[@katappamama007]

My Same question help me

[@1NT0_TH3_L1GHT]

ctrl+c ctrl+v

[@TeenyTotTime]

Hi Chad, at 3:22-is your character already separated into parts in another program like a psd file OR are you actually separating the arm, hand, body etc... using a tool here in animate? If so what tool are you using? I have a jpeg image in but how do I separate them? Thanks Chad!

[@jewricho]

Rigging makes animation smooth

[@GameboyLovesSplatoon]

Thank You for the useful and entire information!

This was extremely helpful. Thanks for sharing.

[@Chitchadshow]

Glad it was helpful!

[@burhancityreal]

Thank you for this video it really helps me

[@LearnNow1022]

Could you teach us how to make our own full body cartoon character?

[@foongpedq2238]

very useful when u show both software ~ But How to bend any parts without plug-in ??

[@jackcardenas6531]

How do you correct the gap that is created when you rotate the forearm or calve. The lines do not connect for me.

[@danielcardone8622]

I'm confused. so can you draw one figure then separate it into individual parts in animate? or do you need to separate them in another program and import them as individual layers?

[@toddy3755]

Too late but I'll asnwer this comment bc there can have more people with the same doubt, well you have to draw your character in a separate software part by part naming each of them, then join all his peaces on Photoshop trough layers and save as psg to open in animate

[@jytvreal]

Whats best to use? after effects or animate

[@colacho_art]

Thanks for the help! Still I hate this, each time I add a main bone, the rest of the pieces goes to hell, and I don´t know why....

[@Catmoonstory]

For smooth animation,which is most convenient _ Character rigg.or FRAME BY FRAME Animation. .

[@amitkumar-zr3xt]

This was really helpful for me thank you so much 🫠

[@Bye_All_Means]

[@brightspot8902]

GREAT MAN

[@pugmel3234]

Hello, I'm using adobe animate and I'm a bit confused about the "convert members to graphic symbols, because I'm importing a character from Illustrator, with all the limbs separated as movie clips, so if I convert a member I will have 2 different symbols, which I don't know to animate only the graphic ones. **Sorry for bad English.

[@sossos2665]

Thanks a lot ❤️
