KB = kilobytes (size measurment)
Kb = kilobits (internet speed measurement)

[@yonesantana]

Kilobit is also a "tiny" unit of measurement. (But thanks for making me check)
Using the common byte size of 8 bits, 1 kbit is equal to 125 bytes.

great tip....... i have a question, how do you add backgrounds to your final work, like in the song Let it go, what did they use when added in the background of elsa walking in the snow etc,.... :)

can you please explain how to animate progressive walk cycle and character redirection?

[@archangel7052]

What's the difference between referencing the same file multiple times vs duplicating the reference?

[@24yrukdesigner]

How are you animating referenced characters please? I've never got animation with layers working on referenced characters because it seems to create 1 animation layer for the referenced character, which cannot be collapsed or merged?
