Preparing a Head for Animation in Flash

[@HerbalToons]

This is the way I animatie, combine motion tween and frame by frame. It works. Jazza isn't lying to you. He's teaching you.

[@zeeshanzaffar1435]

With that skill and "key frame katty" I can't Imagine what not could be possible. You are great and skilled flash animator.

[@Kronikwookie]

I can't express to you enough how much I appreciate your videos. They are really motivating me to start working on my dream animation series.

[@oDanielSas]

I totally agree! Your videos are amazing! And the periodicity is the cherry of the cake! XD

[@MrTSUUA]

When watching all these Draw with Jazza videos, it's a pretty good question if anybody can even draw WITHOUT Jazza :P

[@QuestText]

You are practically becoming a tutor for my animation course Jazza, Thank you so much for your hard work.

[@andyzhang7890]

Thank you very much, your tutorials are the best on KZbin!

[@MicahThaAnswer]

Jazza You Genius! ... I just can't get over these great tutorials man!

[@Antank8]

5:09 to do this shortcut motion you hold the "ctrl" or "cmd" key and click the edge of the shape while the mouse as a curve next to it

[@MikhailCazi]

That was brilliant. Subscribed!

[@heldersampaio]

You are awsome Jazza!! Congrats!!

[@lindacarroll9631]

Thanks for telling me about Key Frame Caddy! I have learned so much from your work and demonstrations. You WOW me!

[@Zullala]

Oh Lordy, I am so thrilled with this Key Caddy thing. I have Flash cc and omg, it took me like 2 hours to figure out how to get Key Caddy for it. In the end I realized I simply did not have the correct extension manager @_@. Anyway, thank you bunches!

[@east3myway]

How do you?!?

[@Malik_Hoff]

Jazza is So Fly... his shirt matches his Glove

[@TheLGomez]

It's just like working an animatronic puppet. So much win!

[@MrMegaSuperBoy]

Thank you a lot! :D I bet these are the best Flash tutorials on KZbin.

[@jasonfella265]

Awesome video. Very clear and informative!

[@warflof]

Really helpful dude ! As independant, your tutorials help me to improve step by step ! And I'm really glad for that ;)

[@JuLePine]

What did you do to "pop it out" on the minute 16:02... I tried everything I could to make in into a single face but doesn't work... could it be because I'm using a mac?

[@garrettbaker2320]

This is a goldmine...thanks!

[@Mickey377]

Awesome stuff bruh!

[@Widukin666]

I simply loved it. It was very useful. After lots of searching, I can finally start making my own animations. Thank you!

[@blinkfarm]

Man, thanks for all the great tips. Now I need to figure out how to replicate the Caddy in After Effects!

[@ScoobyCool9000]

Thank You!

[@noahnoah5239]

Great Job I've referenced this video several times. very talented.

[@solidsnake797]

This tutorial answers so many questions of mine, Thanks!!!

[@MichaelELoucas]

Amazing, and great music too! :-)

[@pr0m4xine]

great tutorials jazza you continue you great ;)

[@IamAboe3]

Verry good explanation, love your work, but where is the end animation? I always like that part :D

[@nikkim3442]

IamAboe3 // This video was made before he made it. Notice he has a different intro and is using flash not Animate CC.

[@allenthompson3384]

Excellent Tutorials... who says "Flash is Dead?"

[@techmakers7527]

Right said !!

[@ThanhLe-os2mi]

Allen Thompson Savitar said it

[@allenthompson3384]

Kewl. Love flash. Always been my favorite program. It has amazing how it has grown in its smart functions. Hope it can still place in the animation world. Good on you Adobe via Macromedia!

[@JavierGonzalez-qg5el]

great stuff man thanx for the knowledge.

[@dodgerfan_0181]

jazza. could do a video of a layered mask mouth with tweens (specifically for shape tweens) in animate cc. where one layer is one drawing

[@aarondraws7699]

how do you know which mouth shapes to draw and how to draw them just go a little more in depth on the drawing portion of that part

[@deskasandreas4504]

Subscribed. Well done!!!

[@Kuyosaki]

i love you jazza and all these tutorials but i don't think i am capable of drawing this good... sure i want to be

[@chrisj.2611]

Too easy to be true ^^ That video helps me a lot for my coming animations. Thx (Y)

[@pearl7611]

How would you pull of soft cell shading in flash? Like how Disney shades there characters.

[@noureldinAbukhalifa]

Im just commentig here to appreciate your hard work (y)

[@Jazza]

+nour el din Abu khalifa thank you!

[@banterfamily4668]

+Draw with Jazza you are amazing your my inspiration I'm trying to save up for a graphic tablet but my family is having trouble with bills and we need money please help

[@crashcredits3891]

hey jazza ,I'm a 13 year old kid who wants to be a best animator so I"m following you for it and I think you as my teacher so can you say how did you make 10 and more animation in one single frame ???

[@GRIM-Forever]

He animated inside a symbol mate.

[@asdfasdf33f67]

Keyframe Caddy doesn't seem to be available for CC 2015, that's too bad

[@SonidaMarks]

You have to go into the file as a notepad and change its comparability

[@gauravrajghimire6396]

awesome man thanks a lot n keep it up

[@Marcastle]

Amazing.Da to do this in illustrator cs2? using also the cs2 photoshop?

[@SW1NGL3]

Hey Jazza!! I'm in love with your work and i was wondering if you could direct me in a direction that i can find a good skin color cuz I'm having a lot of trouble with that

[@antonioripado2012]

I love your tutorials but I have one question: how would you do if you wanted the head to move in different angles?

[@friskyobriskey4322]

literally was wondering the same thing. Did you ever find out the answer to that?

[@antonioripado2012]

@@friskyobriskey4322 I haven't unfortunately

[@Jabutimado]

This is so sad 😭

[@TrucSale]

That's pure gold

[@lokomotiv-yar]

good job jaza. i laern alot

[@ricardologapo1728]

This is very helpful thanks a lot!! 😀😀

[@agungwidi799]

In adobe Animate , keyframe caddy can be replace with frame picker, right?

[@FrankLopezx]

i dont think this is what i was looking for Jazza, what im looking for is to create something like Cortana from Halo just the head hologram per-say , i want to animate something like what you have done here but at the end i want to load her into Processing for using IF/Else conditional statements where she would lip sync whats being narrating by the premeditated set of strings aka words/sentences/phrases altho most of this programming stuff is out of the scope of this video what i really want is to be able to animate her, by the way what formats are the exports in ?

[@mrenie]

Why do you always draw with fill brush and never use the stroke one?

[@humanobject0.129]

0:06 when you are angry 0:07 then you notice cameras and you smile

[@Chill1332]

I have a question. Can you still have a cache of mouth, eye and brow shapes without keyframe caddy? Or do you have to keep that clip of animation of all the shapes, copy and paste them into your timeline and then cut off that unwanted facial exercise afterward? I have Flash 8, which doesn't seem to be compatible with it..

[@kerslashtv]

How'd younmake the eye dropper automatically paste into the palette like that?

[@emmanuelbaez81]

Hi Jazza, just one question, how do i get that same brush shape your using. From what I'm seeing it seems more accurate and efficient when outlining or drawing.

[@stanb5448]

took me 7 hours to copy your Douchy (with a touch pad for mac). i am exhausted and he seems happy.now let s rock the animation but don t know how to record the voice. need a mic ? or random suggestions .. may be an iphone ? have u gut a sound card for the record ? (everything is home made) thanks a lot for sharing your passion. a friend of mine in france is doing some good stuff as well : Arthur de Pins.

[@fraxinellla]

24:03 For some reason those bottom eyelids make me giggle...

[@justianiwahjudi3901]

oh, unfortunately I have flash 8, i can't use keyframe caddy in flash 8 ;( Do you have another variant for flash 8 ? Thank you very much

[@Colteal]

Hi Jazza, could you check my characters head layers ? I'd send you a file. I can't understand where I gone wrong. My Eye socket and eye layers has some issue.

[@gdzeek]

I think I got lost when you started using different variants of eyes and jaws, how do you select just one layer like that and insert a bunch of layers within it? or was it all just different keyframes in one layer? but one selected only to make the others fade while you drew new ones?

[@yunusartist]

wwwow.. marvelous,, i like so much that animations and illustrations steps,,

[@Jazza]

glad you found it helpful :)

[@crashcredits3891]

hey jazza how did you make inside the jaw graphic?please help me

[@chanaadams3371]

Hi! :) Thanks for tutorials, just one thing.. I'm adding Graphic to the 'Load Graphic' and it shows me one after adding five separate graphics..any suggestions?

[@muhammadbhatti1218]

How to do head turn?

[@MrWubblesGaming]

how did he do so you can see through the glases? I can't find that type of color...

[@darkkidanimator2740]

change the.... i think the opacity of the color...

[@hydrogencarbonate7944]

if the glasses are a graphic you can tint

[@efenty6235]

its so useful

[@missyv1756]

I have a character that has different pieces of dialogue in different audio clips. So I guess my question is if you save the head as a graphic symbol, can you duplicate that symbol later so that you can keyframe/animate the different head positions for dialouge pieces without having to recreate every piece?

[@yulowwarner4697]

do you have any idea about how the process is or what programs they use, for animations such as avatar or saint seiya or even disney animations? they always look smooth and beautiful, plz give us some lights on the matter

[@PdUnique]

I think they make 3D models and then animate with them, unlike this where we draw each frame

[@UNICLYPSE]

Jazza, what the HELL are your brush settings?! My brush jabs out and smooths in the wrong places, can you tell me exactly how yours is done please? I use a HUION Graphics Tablet. Also, seems weird of me asking this as I've been animating for over 10 years. (About 11-12 now, give or take.) But it's just I'm too lazy (afraid) to change my brush settings on my own. (I don't want to completely destroy it and ruin it forever.) I noticed how smooth your lines are, they don't jab out or look pointy, and it's not too smooth to the point it makes some pieces fat and some too thin.

[@hydrogencarbonate7944]

when i did this with my character my lines looked very bad and i had to start over i couldnt take it

[@cme20]

hey man my color picker isnt coping to my swatches. any help?

[@OWD-vk1cy]

there's no way to get keyframe caddy i even ditched torrent and web archive, but out of luck

[@Spat856]

Is there any particular reason my keyframe caddy keeps replacing my previously loaded thumbnails?

[@novius5069]

Spat856 I had a same problem

[@LunoChillen]

How do you use the Onion Skin?

[@Boot3897]

Do you have to trace the image if u made it illustrator

[@royalcircus7]

now u can pick frames with frame picker .no need to use that extensation in 2022

[@jcisbell]

Sometimes when I download your resource files, my computer reads them as "corrupt". Any ideas? For example the file for the Doda 2 animation, I can't unzip. I had this happen with one of the vcams and another set of resource files,It was the lesson on Paralaxing. :) Great stuff. I just finished TWO classes in Flash and YOUR lessons have taught me so much more interesting and useable stuff.

[@Ehronaut]

What was the animation book you recommended? I can't find the video you mentioned it in

[@dananimations588]

this does not work for adobe flash cc please help

[@nikkiardman5541]

Hey jazza I buyed the app Called animation creater. You should buy it.you can Make an animation in it.

[@shikzproductions4740]

that was good

[@patriciaorellana6469]

I'm sorry if I missed it but what series of flash are you using?

[@tron-fan1824]

Anyone know how to do this in Adobe animate nowadays?

[@osvaldosilva9128]

excuse me what is the skin color code?

[@pr0m4xine]

is possible to do this in photoshop jazza?

[@anim8rsinkstudios193]

Update for anyone seeing this and trying to get Keyframe Caddy, it doesn't work if you try the mentioned install for anyone using CC 2017 on a mac, and some Windows. But you should be able to download it form the Adobe Exchange and use the following link to install it. Very easy after that. I found it on the ratings and reviews section of the Exchange site. Thanks user Aron Mani! helpx.adobe.com/animate/kb/install-animate-extensions.html

[@paullayton3881]

thanks Jazza... is this possible in Edge CC

[@eylultunadokme]

+Paul Layton yes, edge animate cc is basically a better version of this program

[@eylultunadokme]

+E. Tuna Dökme I mean animate cc

[@PandaGaming-uz7gb]

What kind of thing are you using to draw on? is it a tablet or some special screen?

[@darkkidanimator2740]

i wish photoshop can do really smoth lines like this..

[@DavidGriffiths]

What is that one Jazza's right hand?

[@crookerpatrick]

Jazza, something occurred to me...you drew his chin higher in the base layer because his mouth is closed, unlike the reference image which shows him smiling wide. But, in that reference image, even though he is smiling, his mouth is actually closed because his teeth are touching, which means his chin should be in the same position for both. You would only need to draw it higher if his mouth open right?

[@DrewNorman]

Are you drawing with a mouse or a Pen on a tablet?

[@vwlz8637]

isn't it obvious? (a graphic tablet)

[@Megacharlie]

I do frame by frame now :)

[@angeljames6663]

Are you drawing with the computer mouse or a tablet? If you're using a tablet how do you hook it up?

[@a4di256]

Angel James He is using a tablet and it plugs in using USB

[@arsNovaavoN]

что за сглаживание

[@666spark]

[@SausageDynamo]

HOLLLYY SHIT. This is like how they animate the simpsons! With different graphics/symbols for each parts of the body You can see this in the simpsons movie! When homer is trying to have an apiffony and he gets pulled apart by those trees!!!
