I did it the hard way with Photoshop. Check out my animation. All hand drawn.

[@anklebiter2529]

Where do I get after effect did you get yours free?

[@hoscat1395]

they are not free? but i am considering it.

[@jirehla-ab1671]

How about animate cc?

[@frames_by_james007]

Can you monetize and make money off of a Video were you used Free pix Animations as long as you give them credit in the description? If not how can I monetize a video using free pix animation?

[@Arabon]

This video just changed the game for me in so many ways. I've been wanting to "level up" my animation skills, but all the other tutorials I've watched have either been too advanced or lacking in knowledge. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together. Take my sub lol. Cheers!

The cutest comment I’ve read 😂

[@MissSaiko]

I bursted out laughing :D

[@grigo.]

I was watching exactly that moment while reading this comment

[@RedOwlCreativeStudio]

Adobe Illustrator and Aftereffects are the best tools out there for 2D key-frame animation. After you learn the basics, possibilities are endless. Best thing about it is you can develop your own style of illustrating and animating which makes your work unique! I self studied these two softwares for more than two years and now I'm gradually working on building my own channel with a unique style. :)

[@whitelily3474]

From where can I get them? Google??. Play store??

[@jeetaero]

@@whitelily3474 from Adobe website

[@basbooy]

How about Adobe Animate?

[@RedOwlCreativeStudio]

@@basbooy I meant for keyframe animation. Of course Animate is best for frame by frame :)

[@atozmedia24]

can u learn to me also please

[@James-si9xe]

This is probably one of the best After Effects tutorials I've ever seen. You're a hero man.

[@sheservesfun]

[@uuuuu1111]

Wow, I didn't even realize this kind of animation was possible in After Effects, and you summed up how to do it so quickly and efficiently. Like honestly the amount of useful knowledge you dropped here I've seen classes take several weeks to get through.

[@uuuuu1111]

That is to say, awesome job, thanks!!

[@mariajalal9339]

[@ASSADZMANFILMS]

This is awesome thank you so much for this!!

[@omarknowsphotos]

This is the single most useful video on the internet in relation to getting started with animation.

[@nassera8550]

Wow, and I always thought that making a animation is so hard.. but now I’ve seen this.. it looks so fun and easy.

[@semanticsamuel936]

It is hard. This is very basic, but getting realistic-looking movements takes a lot of practise (as I'm learning!). The principles are straightforward, much as pressing a key on a piano is straightforward. Making a good animation is difficult, much as playing a Chopin sonata is difficult.

[@Taiwaneverything]

Love this stuff. Thanks for explaining in such detail. Easy to follow.

[@jamesallinson6298]

Thanks a lot for this I’ve got t get a distinction for my next project so I get into uni and I’m taking no chances
