Jira Sukosol correct if you listen carefully 👍🏻

[@ghxostman7176]

Thank you so much for this. I've been trying to figure this stuff out for months.

[@jynreyngel003]

Thank you so much! You've got all that we need. This is by far the best tutorial. 👍👍

[@mrsg6794]

Thank you! This was very helpful! I am new to animating in Photoshop. The only problem I had is that the anchor point no longer shows when you click Control T. You have to click a button in the tools that says "reference point" and turn that on. Just in case anyone struggles like I did finding the anchor point in this video. It is "to the left" of the X, Y, and W. It shows 3 dots on top, in the middle, and the bottom.

I have a flip book kit and you inspired me

[@EthanDray]

That’s awesome! I love flip book animations, they’re a blast. You should post it once you’ve finished, I’d really like to see your work :D

[@ArtifactsofExile]

is there no onion skin option for this animation mode? its only available in the video timeline for some reason

[@khulood2684]

Hi, what the different between option ( create video Timeline) & ( create frame Animation) ?

[@allyncia]

So good! I’m super newbie but reading animators survival kit so it’s neat to see how this translates in Photoshop. I want to make some stick figures walk so I hope I can follow this and that would be a such a thrill to know that I did it. Thank you for this awesome awesome demonstration and instruction!

[@EthanDray]

I’m glad it helped! How’s the animating going?

[@allyncia]

@@EthanDray All over the place! I'm finishing up my 3rd School of Motion course (ABC) and I created my first walk cycle but, I did manual/parenting method and I choreographed walking and then some ballet jumps but, now I gotta loop that or maybe I should add some secondary sweat drops -hehe :) She's probably tired if her walk cycle keeps making her dance. Yeah, lots to learn still :) Thanks so much!

[@EthanDray]

I’d love to see your work if you have some links :)

[@allyncia]

@@EthanDray Oh thanks! Actually, everything has been for homework and work so, nothing original posted but I do have some original I'm still fussing over to eventually post to Dribbble. Soon enough, I'll be able to say, here ya go! Nice work and tutorials! I want to do more fxf soon too!

[@SaadKidwai]

Thank you!!!!

[@kay8163]

Can we do the same for photoshop CS3?

[@samuraijack3880]

please help me whenever i edit something (i.e. the torso) it edits it on the previous layer too :((

[@cristianoferrari299]

How can i export this as a loop video

[@saminazahif8401]

How did u go to frame one back

[@laboheme4]

Thank you! What do you think about animating in Photoshop then finishing it off in After Effects? I am trying to decide whether to focus on learning Photoshop, Animate or After Effects?

learn all three. :D

[@onjoeee]

Can i export to Mpeg4 or Mov ?

[@rigalanextreme]

thank you Alanbecker....

[@SillySugarGliders]

how do you onion skin?

[@techetees587]

subscribed

[@legal3131]

Hi Ethan I am good until recoil.how do you create the passing one layer from the recoil or the first step?

[@EthanDray]

Hey American Help Group. You can select all of the layers from step 1 and place them in a group folder (create a group folder by clicking the folder icon at the bottom of your layer panel). From there you can click and drag the group down to your new layer icon at the bottom of your layer panel and this will duplicate the group with all of the layers from step 1. I hope this helps!

[@Daniel-bo1fx]

but how do I export a video/Gif??? please help

[@rvaisakh10]

Can I use this for animating a picture? Just a still picture of Mr. Bean? Rather than drawing a character with a brush?

[@redwolf7221]

i just want to ASK what is the app

[@remote6048]

is there any way i could use onion skin

[@KaustavMajumder]

No bullshit. Straight to the point. Tutors should learn a thing or two from you.

[@sohyun896]

how do you export it??

[@mattdiamond719]

how do you save it?

[@amancioyallbish3394]

How do I download my Animation?

[@asthajhawar9799]

Since i am a beginner and this tutorial make me so curious to know more about photoshop but just want to ask whether this photoshop is freely available for desktop or we have to purchase it. What is the instructions to be followed for getting photoshop on desktop.

[@beljihnwahfl9903]

Photoshop is NOT free and must be purchased to be obtained (legally)

[@4thmoonproductions887]

Awesome work! Do you take freelance jobs?
