Pencil2D | Move and Zoom the Camera Layer

[@deathjohnz5721]

you give a chance for those who want to be an animator but cant afford to buy some software animation. thank you pencil2d

[@NightFireXD]

I have Dyslexia and i love to animate but found it hard to use a lot of animators. After Pencil 2D sitting on my desktop for a year i took these tutorials and now having a blast. Didn't take long to get all the basics and this helped cut down my animating time so much. So tyvm for this. Now i can concentrate more on the art perspective.

[@PhoneKlinic]

That's good congratulations 👏🎉

[@Habizuh_Studios]

I just want to say thank you so much for giving out these tutorials. I needed a new animation program and when I opened Pencil2D, I thought it was super complicated, but you helped simplify everything. Keep up the good work, looking forward to seeing more videos in the future.

[@KnightBlare]

To Those Who Faced Problems in the Background Moving Smooth Part, Just add keyframes from 1 to 12 in the camera layer. This will make the Moving background smooth and not just snapping from one place to another

[@ramankr0022]

Thanks for sharing. Really liked it. Learning about Camera Layer is so exciting.

[@joshuarayborn]

Ok, I add the frame on 12 and it doesnt scroll. It just stays stationary until 12 when it just zooms in.

[@hotdoghippogriff]

Your pencil2d tutorials made me subscribe :) 😄😁

And I meant to say thank you for the videos; they're very helpful.

[@jdd4153]

Your videos are always super helpful and very well done. Thank you!

[@xamuska]

NOTE TO SELF AND ANYONE WHO SEES THIS: Zoom works by putting blank keyframes in between both frames.

[@gentle_rodent]

Thank you so very much for making these tutorials! ☺🙏

[@lounestb3718]

this is really cool! can you show us something about the vector layer next time?

[@chocho5894]

Thanks you so much! Me and my class are doing an assignment and I’m trying to add sound and move the camera layer thank you so much!

[@jasonnye5917]

When I try to move the camera on the 12th frame, I don't get a smooth transition from frame 1 to 12, all I get is a frame 1, then frame 12 where I moved the canvas. Why isn't it transitioning smoothly like yours? Edit: I had to add key frames to all the frames in between 1 and 12 to get the transition to work. But you didn't have to? I am using version 0.6.6

[@andromeda16384]

mine too pls help

[@andromeda16384]

But mine goes smoothly for the first keyframe to second but then doesnt

[@andromeda16384]

Yes i found out the problem there should be a keyframe in the bitmap layer also when you zoom in that makes the transition smooth :D

[@alejandrobermudez104]

Doesnt work.. followed instructions perfectly, my image does not move when I use camera layer and create a new key frame. The image moves instantly on the 12th keyframe with no prior movement

[@eiffiegardner4782]

on following instructions, when you add 12th frame and move image, on playing it directly go to 12 frame and frames between are not changed. Solution is: after you add 12th frame and move image there, Go to 2nd frame and add frame, keep adding frames until reach 12 frame, between frames will adjust automatically to reach 12 th frame

[@LightScintchilla]

I know this problem was solved, but I just wanted to add that the camera does work correctly if you export the animation. Just for some reason the preview is broken in the program itself.

Your explanation is the best

[@kenwolfendenhalifaxuk.9081]

installed v 0.6.4. but can't get this to work. Camera view is large and does not respond to resizing or moving. In bitmap both image and camera move together. What am I doing wrong please?

[@revinhood6189]

You forgot to add keys both at the start and end frame.

[@muathabdullah3133]

thanks for your good tutorials, i am wondering how did you draw the background

[@alkaupadhyay7650]

Bruh he downloaded it and also gave the link and credit to the creator. Check out other vids

[@xucaen]

How do you wrap the background? Like in the old Flintstones cartoons, Fred might be chasing Dino around the house and we can see the background is moving but it keeps repeating.

[@alexandersarria2754]

Excelentes tutoriales. Muchas gracias.

[@MF-ty2dj]

I know I'm probably doing something wrong, but when I click camera, hand tool; the background and camera move together. I can't reposition it. I see that you have the vector track there: Do I need to have the Vector track in as well?

[@GTADhammika]

Good job bro❤️ Thank you❤️

[@athlon448]

Whenever i try to “preview” the camera movement (by clicking the play button) it doesnt show the camera moving. But when ever i drag the marked area where the time is back and forth, i see the camera moving. This is bad because i would like to know how fast/slow the camera moves in the final product. Its this a bug or something?

[@jasey13]

Hi there I am getting increasingly fustrated with Penci 2D. I have tried to follow everything you have taught, doing it the exact sam way and my camera layer doesn't scroll along, it stays the same from 1 to 11 then jumps to the new camera position on the 12th key.

[@g1itchers]

I hope you found the solution, but try adding key frames in bit map layer and it should flow smoothly. This community is great!

[@TKontent]

So how do you get the camera to move at a certain time?

[@DarrenBurch]

Thank you so much for this information

[@TJFREE]

You're welcome, Darren!

[@genericname6753]

When I go to the camera layer, the camera view border box reference thingy disappears? Do you know if there some way to fix this somehow? Some setting somewhere? Anything?

[@Ankjear]

I hope you still reply to comments, but I was wondering if its possibly to have one part of the animation be a certain part be something like 12 frames but a short section be 40 frames?

[@TJFREE]

Good question. The short answer is no, but you can accomplish this effect buy duplicating the frame that you want to play slower... Or make two separate animations and then combine them together in video editing software. Hope that helps!

[@Ankjear]

@@TJFREE holy smokes that was fast and yes, that helps a lot I just now need to bug my cousin on how to work video editing 😭😭

1920 x 1080

[@hobbowizardanimations]

but how do I zoom in and out without a mouse i really cannot figure it out

[@oxlegendxo3318]

Any tips for smoothing out the camera motion? It's honestly very stiff in your demonstration.

[@emelitaromeral579]

add more fps using the bottom right counter, or manually move the image per frame or 2 frames yourself so you can do extra stuff too like easing in and easing out

[@SyedShoaib-t8k]

WHAT VERSION ARE YOU TELL ME PLEASE

[@deepaksivarajan7391]

Thats nice, please show how to track an animation cycle with the moving background...

[@FarahA27]

How do you zoom in and out of your image? Whenever I clicked on Zoom, it just zooms in on the keyframes.

[@amdsj89]

any idea how to make a walk cycle by making the background moving backwards and the character moving forewards ?

[@emelitaromeral579]

1. make the background and setting first 2. do what Tj did here with the camera and shift the background backwards 3. while it shifts plan in the bitmap layer where each step will land on the background 4. create your walk cycle with the footprints as a guide

[@ruslanlukovskii6743]

What OS is it? It looks nice

[@SonictheHedgehogInRealLife]

How do i make the camera locked to the canvas size so its not zoomed in or out or moved. just precisely the canvas size?

I can't see other layers on the camera layer

[@tejaskishoresharma4776]

WHEN I IMPORT AN IMAGE IT TAKES THE CENTER AND I DONT HAVE ANY SCREEN LIKE U GET WHEN U IMPORT

[@sleepdeprivedrat]

you can zoom out, or resize it with the selection tool

[@80ssnorklover7]

How do you give movements for your characters like either with motion tweens like flash normally uses or either that just how do you move your character in motion tween Style.

[@jill321-u2g]

my camera layer is not working can you fix this problem

[@spi1ral]

is tweening a function yet?

[@c1nnamodoll]

i have a question--what if we want one layer to be unaffected by the camera pan, or to move in the opposite or just a different direction than everything else? how would we do that? this was SUPER helpful thanks !!

[@veniaminlev9976]

go to settings, everything should be there. take care

[@zoraackerman1684]

Exactly my question. For example, if someone is in a car, you want the car to stay still, but the background to move.

[@psgamerOO]

How do i lock it so it doesn’t move when I’m trying to animate

[@dorkyderpterio8649]

I'm currently using Pencil 2D! Is there any way I can use multiple cameras for different scene shots?

Try making multiple camera layers

but if i do a camera movement how do i revert it back to the original position

You can click on "View" and then "Reset" or "Center" while being in the frame that you wanna bring into the original position!

[@Noir-Fenix]

Is there any way to loop the background?

[@emelitaromeral579]

Theres two ways to do this depending on what kind of looping you need. If you want the whole animation and background to loop Look in area where theres stop and play, you see a left arrow, a right arrow, and then a U-turn and then a range, to loop something, you have to 1. select the box on range 2. type the frame numbers of the frames you want to loop 3. then select the U-turn and play However if your character will do something different but the background will keep looping you have to manually copy paste every frame in order in the camera layer

How do I make the screen ratio 16:9

[@TJFREE]

Good question. You can't set the ratio directly, but double click on 'Camera Layer' and the dimensions can be changed. 1920 x 1080 or 1280 x 720 are good 16:9 ratios.
