The Power of SYMBOLS in Adobe Animate CC | Shapes vs Graphic vs Movie Clip

This Tutorial is a complete breakdown of how to create, modify and animate Symbols in Adobe Animate CC.
I start the video by explaining the difference between shapes, graphic symbols and movie clips, including how to modify them, animate them and how to create symbol inception. Then I’ll show 3 different ways to create symbols, followed by how to multiply, copy and replicate symbols to your advantage, and I’ll end with an explanation and examples of the 3 types of symbol looping, which are loop, play once and single frame (frame picker)...let’s go...

Just want to express how much I appreciate your videos. Learning Animate sometimes feels like trying to play 3 dimensional chess but your tutorials are very clear and concise. Thank you!

[@warneriker5516]

I have watched a ton of Adobe animate vids - yours are by far the best. Short simple, and to the point.

[@achiniyapa5706]

I found all my topics short and sweet. Thanks. Great one.😍

Halfway in, and so far… This is the only good symbol tutorial… Everyone else has been so terrible at explaining it and just repeats the same jargon as everyone else, without actually explaining why things are the way they are. That’s what it truly means to teach something.

[@Kinetic_Animations]

But you can’t move a graphic across the screen? I thought just did earlier… I saved it as a static asset. Basically, I want to be able to make a X-wing Starfighter wings folding, save it as an asset, and be able to move it across the screen.

I re-did my graphic symbols tutorial (but re-used some parts). Let me know if this helps solve your problem? kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZ3JgGCHi76fmJI

[@thisguydoesanimation]

You need to animate the wings flapping "within the symbol's timeline" (micro movements) and the actual movement of the x-wing on your "main timeline" (macro movements)

how to do lip sync on a character as it's moving around . when my character moves the mouth pops out of the head because the mouth stays in one spot, please help any advise would be helpful.

[@rendraanimation]

use new key frame on your mouth later. and move it litte bit then follow the face movement.

I made a graphic symbol where I animated a clapping audience in a theater. Now I want to replicate this graphic symbol and make many of them but at the same time I want to change the colour of the hair and the t-shirt of each audience. When I try to make that, it makes the colour change on all of them. I would be grateful if you can help me solve this issue

[@animatednarration8860]

oh I think I found it. I think I use duplicate symbol option and make a new symbol out of the original symbol. So in the end if I want to make 20 audiences, I will have 20 different symbols in my library right?
