U changed my life.... God bless you.... Love from India....

[@unclejohnsyoutube]

I don't know why this has been on my watch list for 3 months but OH MY GOD!!!!!! I never knew about Shift-T to change the bounding box!!! MIND BLOWN This is why I subscribe toi this channel.

[@TipTut]

Haha glad you're still finding the videos useful John! This plugin is a game changer for sure.

[@TipTut]

Yes it's part of the plugin.

Bone tool 10 seconds after watching the intro: "Damn dude you didn't have to do me like that"

[@readitnow]

Well i got to say, so far this is the best video i've seen on teaching how to work without need to use other tools with animate cc, thank you! Right now am doing videos but not animated as i want it to be, this is a big step forward and was a really big help for me thou even i don't earn any money to keep on learning this software. Regards

[@lawjackson7376]

Very cool! I love this tool :)

[@TipTut]

Me too!

[@travelhackingTV]

I'm stuck here 7:25 it is too quickly for me(

[@bananananners2899]

I'm trying to figure out how you deleted the inner circle sections at 11:42 is there a shortcut key I need to press to only delete a segment? TYIA

[@Jeremy-hx7zj]

i was following along until about 8 mins in and then things got extraordinarily confusing. you began rapidly doing things without really explaining why and I couldn't keep up anymore.

[@broalisprot1637]

11:47 when i doing this, that not combined, 2 circle after i delete inner line, i cant fill color, so i group them, but still same cant fill them color. i use animate 2020 whts wrong

[@broalisprot1637]

finaly i did it, just close and try again

[@floquence]

Thank you! Meanwhile, is there a way we could prepare the character in Illustrator and move to Animate for rigging?

[@CrankWavesbackupchannel]

I think you can do that with Character Animator.

[@royalcircus7]

Im learning animation and ur videos helping me a lot .Thanx for this video

[@TipTut]

Most welcome 😊

[@bigdamnhero2297]

Awesome video as always, quick question though at 12:35 you break the objects and draw the line before filling in the color, you seem to be able to use symmetry somehow, (you were able to draw lines on both side by dragging it once) is that available in Animate. If so can you tell me how? Thanks.

[@TipTut]

There no symmetry I just cut out me coughing so it looks like I draw two at once haha

[@bigdamnhero2297]

@@TipTut didn't see that coming 🤣😂 thanks though.

[@someguy69112]

Is he cutting ctrl x the shape at 7:16? It dissappears and he puts it on the chest area

[@ZuluAka-nn4ei]

Salut à 15:26 quand j’essaie de faire shift T sa fait rien ? T’as une solution ? Merci bien

[@justinreid1037]

I just discovered you. Awesome work! Will def be following.

[@TipTut]

Awesome, thank you! :)

[@tchagolago]

Excelent tutorial, but at 15:23 the shortcut for the symbol registration only works with EDAP Tools installed? I trired direclty in animate and did not work. And this kind of registration works on illustrator files imported to animate or I have to build the entire character in Animate? Tks!

[@TipTut]

Yes, you need EDAP tools, the basic version is free. You can work with anything that you can turn into a symbol, so yes Illustrator files will be fine.

[@tchagolago]

@@TipTut Thank you!

[@AbcjuniorKids]

Hi dear @tiptut I have been looking for a video that explains character creation in adobe animate. I place a png in first layer as sketch. But where I get confused is that which part of body to create on separate layer and how to group certain parts. Do you have a video that can help me with it please?

[@TonesOverthinksIt]

If only Character would give you this as an alternative to the IK handles. I rather have precise control of what joints rotate and how much.

[@themysteriousunknownrevealed]

Ok Ok Ok, I'm loving these Tutorials! I almost uninstalled Adobe Animate, because I hated Flash... HATED, I am using the word "Hate" here. I HATED Flash. You'd swear that Flash killed my parents in my origin story. I'm digging what this adds to the arsenal, Are there any tutorials that show how you can use Adobe Character Animator in conjunction with Animate? I'm sure I could figure a way to do everything separately, and then composite it in After Effects, but it be nice to streamline my work flow as much as possible. I look forward to your future tuts and watching the ones I've not seen yet! Cheers

[@TipTut]

Glad you're enjoying them!

[@dombyrashyKZ]

IK Efector only available in the paid versions?

[@k44rbon]

can u plz tell rigging with bones is useful or with edapt tools, like in case of moving and giving it detailed animations.OR is it the same?

[@dmsdrumcovers9506]

Great tutorial!! What happened to the part about flipping the arms & legs for the right side?

[@Mimefight]

Any advice/tips for characters with an outline?

[@lettucedraw._.]

Guess that’s a no.

[@MagnetiqLabs]

Can't wait for the next episode ;-) One question. When i changed shortcuts from default to EDAPT i'm losing my usual commands like F6, F9 etc. Do you plan to talk about shortcuts in the next episode, or i missed something? Thank you man! Love your channel !

[@TipTut]

That's to be expected as all of your shortcuts are changing to EDAP control. There are new shortcuts for each to help with a better workflow when using EDAP.

[@MagnetiqLabs]

@@TipTut Thank you! Yeah, i saw second episode, so everything is clear for me :-) Looking forward for some cool stuff from you using the EDAP!

[@zabarmast7354]

Hola..... Eagerly awaiting for next episode... So creating a character with a Golden Ratio make a tidy animation, right?

[@TipTut]

Hell yeah!

[@Deewayne94]

Thank you for you tuto ! 🇫🇷

[@songyin8256]

May i know your experience on Animate creation or other graphic designing, between PC and Mac, which one is the better choice?

[@Cool123Movies]

Bad luck again....no problem In future I will buy it.

[@davidbodelier8343]

It seems like the IK effector tool is only available in the premium version of EDAPT. Is this correct?

[@krazygyal]

Edapt doesn't work for me. I cannot deactivate autokeyframe on Mac...

[@NotPcPlayer]

Populating the symbols is more confusing than trying to get to the star in mario. Edit: This is my 4th day in Adobe Animate. Im quite new guy here, ive found lots of people working with this program but I’m sure even tho I am struggling now. With your tutorials I’ll be getting better and more experienced.

[@Jonny_Benzo]

I'm new too! There's multiple forums and discords with tutorials to guide you as well

[@dawoodahmed5793]

Hey brother, i hopr you are now a pro in adobe animate :). Can you please guide me, i had a ghost made on illustrator, i have all it limbs separated, now when i inport it to my adobe animate, i am unable to apply the bone tool to it.

[@rfstudio269]

waiting !!

[@paroglenogram]

When is part 2! Edge of my seat.

[@TipTut]

If not this Monday, then next Monday for certain - depends on whether I can get it recorded in time :)

[@yoonssam_kr]

I am new in adobe animate, do I still need this EDAPT plugin? I mean I am not sure if adobe already came out (via upgrading) something that can do what EDAPT can offer as it has been 2yrs?

[@b512-t1w]

Adobe are at least 10 years behind Flash Powertools. IMO, they will never be able to catch up.

[@yoonssam_kr]

@@b512-t1w I see. so I understood your answer that we still need to use EDAPT plugin ya.

[@jessicacorrea6333]

Does this work with html5 canvas project?

[@johnt.mickevich2772]

Just discovered your channel and these rigging videos are a life saver! Quick question - do you know if the Bounding Box reset (shift-T) has been deprecated? I can't seem to make it work like you do here.

[@TipTut]

Don't think so, but there's a shortcut window you can check in the app to see if it's changed.

[@johnt.mickevich2772]

@@TipTut Yeah - i think it's gone in the latest version. A search for "bounding" or even "box" turns up nothing. Boo!

[@ntilcheff]

@@johnt.mickevich2772 Search for "Zero Transform" or "Set Reg Point To Transform Point" and you'll find what you need.

[@TipTut]

Thanks Nick, knew you'd come through!

[@ntilcheff]

Just saw John's question, Matt, and thought it won't be too inappropriate to reply. Hope you're well, mate!

[@rosemangofairy]

I'm curious, do you have an opinion on a rigging comparison between Adobe Animate and Blender? More specifically, which is better? 😆 It seems that the multiple setups you would have to procure in Adobe Animate just look more complicated than Blender's. I'm speaking as a total newbie at both btw, so I was wondering whether I was mistaken or not. I'm watching your video here but it seems to me that the rigging system doesn't look as easy and intuitive as Blender's rigging. If it's true then I would be highly disappointed in Animate as a product, as they are supposed to be one of the leading programs for animating. Love your videos as always! 😺😺😺

[@spacykid]

Is this the rigging approach to like shows like rick and morty/family guy/etc? I know they use a different software but would this be sufficient to replicate their movement system?

[@TipTut]

Yeah absolutely, you can replicate that style with this technique

[@spacykid]

@@TipTut Awesome and lots of thanks to you for making these videos! They helped me out a lot with creating the series im working on right now

[@Cool123Movies]

Waiting

[@Glitz1021]

For some reason, my symbol won't adjust it's bounding box after choosing Shift +T. Any other suggestions.

[@demoxxi]

you have to use Edap shortcut for that to work i suppose

[@Tulukanoo]

I love bro you are so osm I am big fan bro

[@tomo4977]

Hi! Thanks for the tutorial, I'm having a small issue with adding points onto the rectangle. Instead it adding a point when I hold control, a black box comes up and it moves the whole rectangle. I'm off the guide layer, and Im using the graphic symbol. Any way I can fix this? Thanks : ) EDIT: fixed it, I was using subselection instead of selection 😅

[@TipTut]

Haha well done! :)

[@Rain87166]

Do you no how to set it back to normal I'm in the middle of one of my animations and I don't want to try this new character rig till I'm done with it.

[@TipTut]

The only thing you need to do is change the shortcuts. You could also just create a copy of the document to test it out.

[@funfact5360]

Can you please make a tutorial on your text, like you write Animating, Animation background and Bounce techniques Etc.

[@TipTut]

You mean the text in my thumbnails?

[@funfact5360]

Thank you so much for your reply sir ! Yes you are right. Like how you write animating, Tiptut shorts and Bounce techniques in your thumbnails. i use photoshop and Animate.

[@jessesmith8990]

after watching part 1, I still don't know what edap is or why it is needed. just one more thing to make me confused.

[@yourmomgayandyourdadlesbia8718]

Hello! Your tutorial has been very useful and informative for me! Though i wanted to know/ask if its possible to make the individual joints in another program and import them in? like photoshop for example and then import all those separate layers for each indiv. part?

[@TipTut]

Yep absolutely, each part is a symbol, it doesn't matter what the contents are. Glad you enjoyed the video, but please don't just out both my parents like that. Jeez.

[@yourmomgayandyourdadlesbia8718]

@@TipTut Okay! Thank you so much!! And your videos are awesome! You’re so good at making ACTUAL tutorials with ACTUAL solid information, instead of calling it a ‘tutorial’ and then showing a weird personal process that involves like 25 work-arounds.,,, sadly that’s wayyy to common amongst the younger/newer artist community, but I’m So happy to see someone who knows what they’re talking about! Keep up the awesome stuff:) Oops MY BAD lolll, I’ll put them back in the closet DW DW

how do you isolate it?

thank you sir.

You need to download it like I show you in the beginning of the video.

[@VinhNguyen-tm5sb]

@@TipTut Oh i see, thank for your help

[@srushtipusate9492]

does 2019 version have this feature?

[@TipTut]

This is a plugin.

[@HighClassTupsi]

Great tutorials, but all tutorials i've watched, you've created the character in Animate. What if I made mine in Illustrator? :) I doesn't look like yours on the timeline and in the library, when I do that.

[@TipTut]

Hi, just bring your character in a piece at a time and convert each piece to a symbol for the same workflow.

[@HighClassTupsi]

@@TipTut Thanks for the fast answer :) Just to be sure. The way to do this is to save an Ai file for every bodypart (one for head, one for upper arm etc.) and then import them to stage or library? :)

[@TipTut]

Not that complicated, you should be able to copy and paste directly into animate from illustrator

[@HighClassTupsi]

@@TipTut I tried that, but im only getting layers in the timeline and not in the library like yours under "Link Character". It's probably cause I'm doing something wrong :) I'll figure it out somehow :)

[@Gamer-je6xo]

@HighClassTupsi did you figure it out

[@besthobbit]

why does everyone always want you to download extra stuff....

[@TipTut]

Because the native rigging is trash and these people are doing good work and should be supported

[@davidadenusi]

Hard to keep up with this one, you were quite fast😅

[@antarasengupta9000]

please help me, I downloaded the software and extracted it but it is not opening in the animate. please tell me what to do.

Follow the install instruction in the video.

[@antarasengupta9000]

Thank you so much!

[@mohammadhashash9329]

[@ozerirmak]

Programs such as Adobe Animate are very weak in terms of rigging, in fact, if riging is to be done, it should be done with programs such as 3dsmax or maya.

let me win :D

im going to animate terraia WITH RIGGING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
