[@cryy]

Hi Jesse! This is somewhat unrelated but when I export as movie from Flash CS6 and upload the video on KZbin, there's always this slightly noticeable crackling sound in the background. Any idea what causes that? Thanks ^^

[@jessejayjones]

I'm not really sure, but I would check the Publish Settings under the File menu, and make sure your audio is exporting at 44.1 Kbps.

[@Dancing_Cow_909]

Do you/anyone know if it is possible to make the space bar play an animation in Animate that your testing, instead of the enter/return button?

Thanks for the amazing shortcut tips, so what about zooming in and out the timeline, is there any short cut? I know to zoom the canvas but is it possible to zoom the timeline using shortcut keyboard?

[@annieishere]

Mr I see that some of the people use pencil tool and delete two line so which key is going to work

[@yasirdahlawi2340]

your videos are very helpful (:

[@giuliamurolo6975]

Hi jezze, in my adobe animate version it says that I have to press ctrl = to zoom in, but I can't find a way to do it on my keyboard. What should I do?

[@SilverHunterN]

I knew all of them already but the space one. Thanks for the remainder though!

[@SilverHunterN]

SmartPanda Studios I'd like to, but online based jobs isn't the thing for me. Offline jobs are so much easier. Unless you live very close to me in England, then I don't think I can join you.

[@inarazizena6012]

+Ināra Žizena You can download it from Adobe.com. :)

[@JebbyGD]

When I'm moving stuff like simple shapes with the V tool around in CS6, it will often times move it and lock it to a position I don't want. Is there a hotkey for free moving?

[@jessejayjones]

+JebbyGD It might be your snapping, which you can turn off under View menu, or Ctrl + ;.

[@CrateTribz]

How do you use classic tween

[@BlackOldDragon]

I'd like to ask about setting shortcuts. It seems like when I try to change the 'play timeline' shortcut from enter to spacebar - the program changes it to a blank " ". Could I somehow set this bind in another way? Thanks in advance.

[@jessejayjones]

You could try using AutoHotkey.

[@telix9729]

[@8ShadowNights]

Oh no that's not what I meant but thank you for the information! I meant if I could use it as an editing software? Thanks! -R

[@jessejayjones]

+8ShadowNights Ah, you can animate an intro with it, but you cannot edit videos

[@8ShadowNights]

Jesse J. Jones Thank you!

[@savage_gamingph9514]

[@jessejayjones]

+PhoenixAlikan Do you have your Fn key pressed?

[@juuzousuzuya6527]

[@nutellaflavor4423]

Hi ! First of all, your tutorials are very helpful and I want to thank you for making those ! Now I have a problem. I've been making different images in Sai, saved those into psd format and loaded the said PSD into animate cc's library. I loaded every image into a blank keyframe. The thing is that the drawings are all way too big to fit into the field of the camera. I need to move all the drawings that are located in different keyframes (so they can be alined) to one area of the camera AT THE SAME TIME and I don't know how to ! I tried everything but I can't find a way, help me please !

[@beachboyz1609]

hi Jesse J. Jones I've been trying to get into digital art recently and I've done most of the research myself and i'm almost ready to purchase a tablet to get started. i was hoping you would be able to check out the table before i purchase it, just so i could have a more professional digital artist look it over. the tablet is a Parblo coast10 10.1". its not quite a beginner tablet but its in my price range. all i'm looking to know is if there is a similar tablet that is better and in the same price range or any problems that you might know of. if you are not able to look it over that is fine. thank you.

[@jessejayjones]

I'm not really familiar with that tablet. I have a cheap recommended tablet in the video description. Good luck! :)

[@faizamin7519]

thank your video really helpful

[@richieoster3126]

Is there a shortcut to keep pasting a symbol from the library into your movie?

[@jessejayjones]

If you copy that symbol and paste it elsewhere, it will paste the exact same symbol. Super easy! :)

[@richieoster3126]

Didn't know you could copy from the library, wasn't paying attention thanks for the help :)

[@jessejayjones]

[@CelineTaylor105]

[@chanoyt5141]

WHAT IS THE SHORTCUT KEY FOR YOU WILL ONLY ERASE THE TEXT AND NOT THE STAGE COLOR

[@jessejayjones]

You need to lock all layers you don't want to erase. To edit text, make sure to "break it apart" first by selecting it, and pressing Ctrl+B a few times. :)

[@jonathonistrainwreck4131]
