    If it helps (in my opinion) 24 fps usually makes a very smooth animation that makes it look like its really moving/

      @rokoroko1147 7 лет назад +26

      Malia Huff 24 fps may be smoother and better for programs like Adobe Animate, but when using something like fire alpaca, using 12 fps is best for a smooth look.

    I learned that you can also animate by folders instead of purely just layers in FA. So really, you could put sketch, lineart, and color layers in a folder and that would be its own frame! Very convenient if you want to keep things organized without feeling the need to merge everything together. Great tutorial!

      It depends on the amount of minutes in an episode. If you are doing it by itself, it's going to take A LOONG time even if they are very short episodes.

    • @salem.meadows

      Without a team it's gonna take an extremely long time. That's why with animation memes or animatics it's either not completely colored or traced, it's a simple and cartoony style, it's super short, etc.

    • @punsama2905
      @punsama2905 8 лет назад +29

      Easy, Correction. If your either on eraser or pen button, then at the top bar (Where all the line drawing options, like the circle drawing one, not the place where it has all the layer and select options) there should be an option called correction, set it to 19 and you got smooth brushes for days. You don't have to set it to 19. I just use 19 because it's the most smooth.

    • @punsama2905

      HeyNobody Yeahh, you can 'animate'
      She stated that she's not an animator and she can't really animate so you shouldn't really expect her making a full on smooth animation. And as for you, your animations are a bit choppy and I think a lil' bit more frames would make it much more smoother. Just a little bit of citicism for ya' ^^

    I don't have much to comment, but I just want to thank you! I have a lot planned, and when I found FireAlpaca, I knew it'd be greater to use for animating than Flipaclip. I've been unable to discover how to use it. But now, I can, and thank you so much!!

  • @doodlyanimates9486
    @doodlyanimates9486 4 года назад

    I can't animate blinking so what I do is I draw the eyes fully open, paste and shrink half way closed, paste and shrink to give a guideline on how the closed eyes should look. If you want it to look a bit nicer, make the eyes grow and then shrink. Also, I personally like the look of the eye blink when the bottom of the eye stays in one spot. You don't Have to do this but it does make it easier since you are only drawing two frames.

    WHoaaa what a super close and easy alternative to Macromedia Flash! It's probably not meant for relatively big animation project/works that need around 12 frames or that has a 10 -minute or more duration, but it really is perfect for simple GIF works.

    • @fantasy4500
      @fantasy4500 7 лет назад

      If paired with a video editing program, it can be used for bigger projects. I am using it for an animatic right now, and paired with Windows Movie Maker, it can do wonders.
