Thanks for being here!
Ok, after more tests, I find it ! Thanks again. :)
Isn't it better to learn to do animation in Blender and having way more flexibility?
I ask for help any time i copy a layer and paste it after when i modifie the copy it affects on original what did i do WRONGGG HELP
I've tried to watch several CSP animation tutorials in the past but always found them either unclear or otherwise not streamlined enough to stay focused on. This one though....Is amazing! For the first time it makes sense to me. Thank you!
I KNOW!! I ran into this issue myself when I was learning CSP (quite a while back, for example, there were no blending modes in clip studio owww), that's why I tried making this tutorial.
Then I realized it is pretty hard to make a tutorial that covers all that CSP offers for animation without being unfocused haha but I did my best! So reading your comment really means a lot!
In the future I'll also create tutorials covering specific parts of the pipeline or tools so I can dive deeper into them. Thanks for watching!!
;)
Same here especially drawing digitally and learning everything about digital art
I agree!!! Its finally clicking snd these dreams i had dont seem so scary as they used to be ^^
Man they REALLY need to get you featured on the official CSP Animation tutorial playlist! Maybe then your useful tips will be more widely-known to people
Thank you She-wolf! Fortunately, the CSP team has been really supporting of my work. They retweet my posts from time to time, and I did a couple of webinars with Graphixly and Wacom, that they uploaded to the main CSP youtube channel. They have been great!
a good artist is one thing, and a good teacher is another.
and you my friend, you are bloody great at being both. this is really damn easy to follow, compared to the 4 previous csp animation tutorials ive seen.
Thank you for your kind words!
The fact that you did this tutorial on an actual animation instead of a classic exercise highlights the humongous amount of work and dedication that came into this video! Never thought of separating all colors on different folders. Gonna try it!
Hi guys! One detail I forgot to explain is how to combine 2 layers in the timeline.
For example if you want to reuse part of a drawing, like copying face you already drew, pasting it to a new body in another layer.
The way you would do this is using the normal folders trick that I explained. You just place both layers into a normal folder, and make that folder appear in the timeline (by right clicking in the timeline and selecting the folder's name). Then you right click on the folder and merge it down into a single layer. It works for 2 or more layers.
Thanks for watching!
;)
I notice at the end of the animation, you render your entire sequence. What animation hot key you press to preview render entire seqyence such as toonbom and other software packages
@@donniejohnson4371 By default there is no shortcut set to preview the animation on the program.
You could manually click the 'play' button on the timeline, or go to File > Shortcut Settings > Select the 'Menu Commands' category > under 'Animation' there is 'Play/Stop' > there you can set a shortcut, i use the '-' key. Hope this helps!
Could u do a tutorial for iPad?
I know this video is 2 years old, but DANG! I came just to learn the layout, but the ability to lock a layer to a color is such a time saver for my art style. So many great tips, appreciate it
In 5 minutes you solved 3 of my Clip Studio Animation problems; 2 of which I’d given up on finding tutorials for. You’re a life saver!
Hi guys! If you found this video helpful I would really appreciate if you can check out the written version of this tutorial!

It is participating in this month’s CSP Tips contest and it is a competition based on how many likes and views it gets (our favorite type of contest, I know…. haha)
EDIT: WE WON! Thank you so much for all your help guys!!
Right now thankfully I have my living expenses covered, so All earnings will be used to start building a team to make this channel grow, that way I can hopefully bring more content to you faster!
Thanks for watching!
I remembered joining your webinar from CSP back then and always wanted to try animating in CSP but I get so lost everytime I opened the timeline and the folders. Found this earlier and thought "hey it's the same person as the one who held webinar back then!"
You've explained everything so well for beginners and I'd love to try animating with CSP sometimes in the future. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Kurorisa! Hope you can try it out!!
Awesome style! Really looking forward to seeing more of your stuff :)
Thanks a ton Jesse! I'm a big fan of your videos, used them to learn good ol' Flash back in the day haha. Happy to see you here!
;)
This is a great tutorial! Clear, enthusiastic, and easy to understand. Also, that new intro looks pretty slick!
Thank you Tridek!! More content on the way!
My tablet graphics ain't clear 💀
Easy to understand??? you gota be joking. i was already lost after 5 minutes dude....
I’m completely new to clip studio animating, and holy shit was this the most detailed, clarified and concise rate tutorial I’ve seen, and I’m not shitting when I say I’ve watched sooooo many tutorials over the past week. I genuinely hope more people recognise your talent of explaining/creating things, because it’s literally amazing. Good job mate 👍🏼👍🏼
Truly appreciate your kind words! Wishing you the best of luck in your animation journey!
@@ManuMercurial tysmmm, I hope you continue enjoying animation as well :)
I’ve watched SO many CSP animation tutorials and this is BY FAR the most helpful, clear, and succinct. Manu explains what to do, how to do it, and why to do it. Seriously, thank you for making this it will be a touchstone video for me!
Really appreciate the message HexStuff! Thanks for taking the time to write it
Been getting into animation for few months but this tutorial has been helpful still watching it. One of the best! Really clear and to the point! Love how you explain how it works makes me understand it a bit more
I have never seen a more helpful tutorial than this one! Thank you so much for your hard work! You explain so many things that I never understood from other videos!! Now on to animating! :D
Thank you for this video, seriously, it's one of the most comprehensive animation in CSP tutorials I've watched and is helping me a lot!
I saw your aniamted short film and I'm so blown away with how good it is! Been wanting to replicate those camera movements as well, and your video has helped me on how it can be pulled off! Also, one thing that has helped me way too much for animating are vector layers. It's helped me so much with the lineart and coloring, since area scaling sometimes bleed past the linework.
I personally still have no idea what’s going on.
I feel really bad that I fail to understand the most well received, detailed csp tutorial out there because of how many people found it to be a life saver. I rewatched it a bunch of times to try and get something to stick, but I failed to grasp most of it. It’s not a bad tutorial, not at all, but I still have a hard time understanding anything about using this program. I really want to use this program, but it seems extremely alien to me no matter how much I try to learn about it.
This was so helpful! :O Usually I find clip studio tutorials hard to understand but this was so simple! I think I’ll finally be able to make the move from flip a clip to clip studio! 🙏
Best and clearer video to explain how to animate with Clip Paint Studio !
You've done an AMAZING job ! Thank you !
I've been wanting to learn CSP animation to make some animated Twitch emotes, and it was so confusing but this video helped TONS! I'll definitely be re-watching as I go through the process myself.
Have to say, you are the only one so far, thank you for taking the time to shiw where the tools you are talking about are located!!!! Most tutorials I find assume you already know all the shortcuts and what they are called. Great tutorial and a million thanks!!!!❤❤❤
This is Truly the best tutorial For CSP I have Ever seen and look foward to more! It is so incredibly complicated the way you do it but it just makes the Whole process Easier and More Cleaner in the END especially for beginners, THANK YOU!
The layer color trick is genius. It's by far the most useful thing I learned in this video (and there were a lot of great tips too). Thank you!
Now this is something I've been looking for. Lots of other tutorials ive seen from a long time ago didn't cover much. But this does.
I am so glad you explained the folders well because I never knew how to get my layers to actually show up! Thank you!
Bro... I was expecting a tutorial like this for years! Most of the stuff you teach I did already find them out there (like the multilayer folder frames used in anime, for example) but I know this is going to be super useful to a large group of people. Thanx so much for charing this magic.
Man this is probably the BEST tutorial I’ve seen on CSP!
Your tutorial is amazing, super useful and easily understandable! I really appreciate that you spent you time on this ❤
Thanks for making this video! I know Clip Studio EX has amazing tools for 2D animation especially in Anime production, but I felt like I could never understand until I saw your video. Thanks for making this a very clear step by step video!
This is probably the most insightful video on csp I’ve seen! I currently have CSP ex version on the iPad Pro and it looks doable to make some stuff on it. Can’t wait to share my projects God willing!
Wow!!! This video is so helpful. I already knew the basics by just playing with the program but you gave me really good advice on keeping my layers organized and using keyframes. I'll be waiting for the post-production tutorial eagerly. ¡Muchas gracias!
I’ve been working with CSP’s animation tools for over a year now, but I still learn new things every time I watch a professional provide a run-down of the software.
Your advice was very helpful. Thank you!
I've watched a bunch of tutorials and you're the only one who showed how to duplicate frames!!!! Thank you!!! You've saved me so much pain!!!
This is really awesome! I just got csp pro edition for game development related 2d character animations and your workflow looks great for it
this has to be one of the most concrete csp animation tutorials on this site! instant sub, i’ll definitely be back for more :D
Thank you for this, the other clipstudio animation tutorials were so difficult to understand and three times longer than this video. This was concise and actually worded this in a way that was easy to understand.
Woot! Thank goodness, I needed this back on my computer! Thank you!! :D
I was struggling learning CSP animation and your video was so helpful. I can hear your passion and joy using this program. Thank you so much for clearly explaining your process. You're very talented. Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to learning more from you.
the way that you're perfectly explaining everything in a way that is easily understandable >>>>
Wow you really did an amazing job! It really looks cute and so fluid
this vid got me actively hype to use clip studio to animate (i’ve never used csp to animate before, just other software) and i can’t wait for your next videos you mentioned!
I am so freaking glad this tutorial was shared to me. Absolutely THE BEST most comprehensive one out there for new tips I didn't know about, decent and quick break downs of each section from start to finish. Thank you so much!
Thank YOU for checking it out Rin! Best of luck animating your lovely characters!! 💪
helped so much. especially the "with every line you draw, you're one line closer to your dream" part in the end after so much new information
thank you!! ^^
Dude this is the most comprehensive yet fun video I’ve ever seen on cs animation. Thanks a million!!!
Thank you Vic Rose! Can't wait to see what you'll animate with it!
One of the easiest to understand CSP animation tutorials I've seen! Thank you so much for making this!!

thank you so much for this tutorial and thank you for making it so simple and in depth. you explained perfectly the areas with animating in csp that I've have difficulty with. so once again thank you:D
Manu Mercurial! Excellent tutorial, man. I'll be sure to recommend this to other people learning csp.
A real step-by-step beginner tutorial. Thank you so much! Even though I am quite lost in the folder part, I am going to watch it again, because the info is there. I can't wait to watch the post-production video and how to manage all the PNGs.
Hi Walter, thank you for watching the video!
I'll copy an answer I gave before that hopefully helps to explain the folders bit:
What I did is: instead of setting my animation folder to show an animation cel (which is a single layer), I set it to show a normal folder (which can contain several layers inside). That way you can have several layers On at the same time, inside a single animation folder, and even turn them on and off whenever you want.
The other thing I did was to use the 'Change layer color' button to force the layers to only draw in a single color of my choosing. That way I don't need to change the color i'm drawing with (I will always draw with black) but the layers will show a different color when I draw on them.
I hope this helps!
This was a God send. Thank you so much for the tutorial.
I'm digging this, thank you man. Lot's of video out there but this is just the perfect set of knowledge being shared catefully.
