[@JotoheKian]

Wow, you are amazing. This is my first time coming across your videos and I must say you are golden! Please keep up the great work. It's very helpful and very appreciated!

[@joshualelon]

which one are you using to move the actual positions of the keyframes at 3:53?

[@aspebb]

This is a good video, but I wouldn't really recommend it for anyone that's super slow at this stuff or has no knowledge of this.

[@M8cool]

Quick question - why did you create the ball using the pen (stroke) tool rather than just a shape tool? (Unless it's the same thing)

[@sniperdebitcoin1951]

I bought the Fruity Edition and tNice tutorials tutorial helped out a lot!

[@richardrowland9511]

I am having problems with the copy and paste portion? It just puts the key frames on top of each other? so the ball ends up in the middle instead of hitting the floor?

[@zikkyherman9183]

thank you

[@marcadicts7427]

Perfect

[@robertoroman1957]

[@laurencebranzuela9008]

Nice tutorial,

[@Denise-xx9rz]

Very nice

[@MordechaiHammer]

Love these tuts, Ross. Curious -- why do you use rounded, thicc strokes for balls (as opposed to the ellipse tool)? First time I've seen that.

[@thenikhilray99]

Generally there is more control in animating a stroke than fill.

[@kevinbenting1824]

i followed all these steps but when you are using sample that you have imported the program just bugs up.

[@ziqiguo9758]

Like that!!!! Thank you!!!

[@iberumen]

When I first started I could import samples but now everti I do so it just gives the soft 1. I want to cut, stretch and edit the

[@waldo0888]

can someone tell why my curve doesn't look like the one in the tutorial? and if that means something what should I do?

[@lindseycardon1917]

For the graph curve? Mine was the same was because it automatically went to Edit Value but we want it to be Edit Speed type of graph. I just right clicked and changed it. Hopefully that helps

[@user-wx9qp5yn2i]

Can't even create a ball using pen tool. I followed what you did but nothing happens.

[@clopez5077]

[@nithikeshrajan5861]

try changing the stroke color from the main stroke panel, not the layer one

[@cluelessbeats]

I was stuck here for a while too. Think of it this way: Create a path by clicking two points, very close to each other. You've now created a very small line. If you set the stroke to 1px, it will show up as a very small line. If you set the stroke to say 100px, and change the cap to round, the stroke will be much bigger than the line you've created, and radiate from the line, so it looks like a ball. I did this at first, then i edited the line with the pen tool, moving the points so one point is on top of the other (so they're on the same place).

[@DHANUSH499]

where can I get this ball dwnlded

[@LuckyInLondon]

Hiya Ross. Do you have any tips on how to create the layers that drop down like in this video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKPRf3pte66YlaMsi=3TQIDQ3Ink18Ii8s&t=11 I can create the layer, fade it in and out, create an animated outline, but I cannot figure out how to make these layers drop down. Cheers, Frank
