How To Animate in Photoshop CS6 & CC - Tutorial for Beginners

[@adrod]

Probably one of the best tutorials on animating I’ve seen, amazing work.

[@ocuorat2776]

it's much easier to go to layer> video layers> new blank video layer, so you don't need to create 1 copy of each layer to animate, to do the in-between is also something that makes it much easier, even without having taught the way I learned to use it I really liked the video and it taught me a new way to use photoshop thanks

[@TheCicadaShow]

I'm a 2nd year animation student and I often find myself having a hard time learning even the most basic thing in every software. Your tutorial is really helping me out here!!

[@oso7627]

good luck!

[@NGgraphix]

what software do you use in animation?

[@Studioterrel]

This is amazing very useful. Ill rewatch the whole thing when i get my labtop back.

[@jessejayjones]

Thanks Dino!!

Related 630 There are several tips about which functions of Photoshop to learn first The selection feature Image merging Layers (I learned about these and more from Trevs photo blueprint site )

Same bro, next month i might upgrade my laptop xD

[@mkm1015]

i'm fully aware that it's impossible to compare CS6 to the newest versions but I will ask anyway - is CS6 still good enough in 2021 mainly for graphic design?

[@Bob-no1tk]

@@user-cr1zz7we2s great idea bro

[@ghostiease]

I DID NOT KNOW PHOTOSHOP COULD DO THESE MAGICAL THINGS THANK YOU

[@PsychoIsLovinLife]

Never would have been able to finish a project i'm working on for a class without you, thanks dude

[@slipspacesurvivalist9416]

I like how I've had CS6 for fifteen years and just in the beginner section of this video I'm learning stuff, like how to reset rotation... What I get for never having been shown how to use the program. lol (And how dare you draw a nearly perfect circle so easily on the first try...) This has been an amazing tutorial, thank you.

[@VicZablanVoiceLesson]

This is so far the best that suit what i was looking for to start with Photoshop. Thank you very much for sharing this, very clear.

[@wall-efreelancer2768]

You made one of the most instructive and interesting tutorial! Big thank's, hugs and cheers!

[@realgamerjob1738]

TYSM, this helped me alot, I was animating on photoshop incorrectly, so I watched your video, again thanks!!!

[@ALICE-wx7eq]

This isnt exactly what I was looking for- BUT PHOTOSHOP HAS AN ANIMATING FEATURE IN IT AND I NEVER KNEW?? THANK YOU!

[@artisseed2894]

Finally a easy tutorial Amazing vid Jesse! keep it up! :D

[@jirehkay_animator]

This was really helpful! You don't see a lot of tutorials that make it this easy to understand. Thank you!

[@laura79613]

[@madyati]

Trust me.This is the best Photoshop animation video on KZbin, many thanks♥️

[@johnanimated1793]

[@un-sociablesenpai3606]

This is really helpful 💯 although a lot of people recommended to animate on krita instead, I still prefer photoshop lmao

Just came across this tutorial for help with my digital imaging course, and this is probably one of the best tutorials I've seen so far! Good job, and thank you! :)

[@Gelcrow]

Thanks for the tutorial mate, it really helps with my assignments. :)

[@Moogchungus]

Thank u for this tutorial I feel more motivated to practice my animation skills :D

[@mertyavuz3349]

best tutorial i ever watch so far...

[@capsizebrian]

Good tutorial. just a few questions. If you have already designed animation frames (rather then drawing your character as you go in the "onionskin" view) can you drop existing created frames into the video group? What's the best way to drop an already designed group of frames into a video group? What made you choose 12 frames per second as opposed to 24? just how fast or slow your character went? Thanks

[@StyleMasterSteve]

I just asked almost the same question and realized this video is 3 years old and there are no replies. If you could help shed light on this id be very grateful.

[@shirinkamisami4487]

Also i know how to draw with Photoshop no need to take times to learning more .i really love this tutorial and it help me so much.

Hello, with "Video Groups" how would I insert a frame inbetween two other frames without shifting the timing of all the other drawings downstream? I would like all the frames that come in after the insert inbetween to keep their place in the timeline.

Hi Jesse is it possible to animate JPG photo in any animation software or it has to be illustrated or vectorized first ?

[@jessejayjones]

Hi! Yes, you can import most kinds of images into Photoshop to animate with! They can be illustrated or vectorized files. :)

[@StyleMasterSteve]

I have a question. Im currently learning animation. If creating a static background in photoshop, what dpi should I save them for use on larger screens? like a HDMI home projector or huge tv? I keep seeing videos that say make them at 92 dbi, but that looks pixelated. Also, is 24 frames fps a standard in cinema? or used only by the highest in cinema like Ghibli and Disney?

[@jessejayjones]

Dpi doesn't matter in this case, as that's only for printing. What is important is your project's resolution. 1920 x 1080 is a fairly standard HD size, but you can look up the resolution of your projector or TV to see what it uses. And yes, most animated movies are in 24fps. Hope this helps! :)

[@StyleMasterSteve]

@@jessejayjones much appreciated.

[@artisarium]

Ok, now I can animate. Thanks!

[@podcastdog1702]

Im getting an error saying "could not use the pencil because the current time is outside the range for the target layer" and im confused on how to fix it, what should i do?

[@someguy403]

Great tutorial!

[@jessejayjones]

Thank you! :)

[@JECohen84]

is there a way to change the color of the onion skin for the before and after to see a color difference between the two?

[@lineart5832]

You are learning very well just click of the mouse does not appear. With the brush tool selected, please click with the mouse wherever you click on a panel and not To erase the tablet's selection

[@theinktician]

When i duplicate the layer of the first frame, it just makes an empty new layer. It's very annoying

[@oxid71]

Hi i have a problem. I can't work with "create a video timeline" it just doesnt show that option, only the first option is there. Do i have some version of photoshop that is missing these features? Or does your version have some added features?

[@i_am_pixxie]

[@fromthepeanutgallery1084]

Thank you. Question how can one animate a series of photos? Say like 24 photos of a sun setting? Thanks

[@jessejayjones]

You should be able to! I would try using Select All (Ctrl + A) and Copy (Ctrl + C) to copy a frame from your sequence, and then Paste it (Ctrl + V) into your animation and set it to the correct frame. Hope this helps!

[@CakeChanArt]

This helped me tons, thanks so much!

When i try to delete the background keyframe it just deletes the background layer and keeps the key frame? Why?

[@FavBlaDe]

Hey, I love your tutorials, I have a question about my own channel. Is it allowed to screen record phosotop and mac osx behind for tutorials and commercial used them here, like you do? Do we need special license from software comps?

Im using PS CC 2015... at 11:26 i cannot delete the BG frame... when i select it and hit delete, it deletes my drawn layer frame at the right Layers panel instead... i tried right clicking that bg frame and the only options of removal is " Dispose" which doesn't get removed and still includes in the frame when played. Help!

[@network-nub6687]

nvm i figured it out.. u need to go to the tiny "stack of pancakes" bar at the btm right and click delete frame.. guess they didnt put shortcut yet in 2015
