Tip: Draw key frames first, then add drawings in between so it looks smoother. A popular movement pattern is this •-•--•----•----•--•-• It starts slow, and ends slow
@@pratikshakhalane9484 the lines are frames and the dot's are key frames, a frame is a copy of the previous keyframe and a keyframe is a different drawing from the last keyframe, changing a frame will change the keyframe its copying but not with a keyframe which doesn't altar the previous frames before it when you mess about with it
this is good advice it is a basic skill to learn key and in-between frames 1 i think drawing every frame is not a mistake unless you want to have that style of animation 2 again it depends on what style of animation you have, i don't think there should really be a required number of frames unless it looks good 3 arcs are important in making your animation smooth and natural all of these tips are great and helpful i'm just putting my opinion out there (two years late lol)
If your lines are shaky Id suggest taking a small amount of time to practice having non-shakey lines. My best advice is to draw whatever it is on a program specifically for art, be sure to make the canvas the same size as the animation canvas, and then add in the image. I say this because many art programs have a stabilizer tool for smoother lines. I know this was posted a month ago but hope this at least helps a little bit
@@nullro_ thanks I was working on the shaking lines part lately . Btw my animations get speedier and I can't so the spacing properly which makes them look real rough and etc. , do you have any tips for the timing and spacing part ? (Thank you again and god bless you 🙌)
@@mariahholden2088 It means you are animating on two frames, you want to copy and paste the frames to animate on twos and if you don’t copy and paste its better to animate on 1’s which is just animating 1 action to another action and so on , and if you don’t copy and paste you have to try and draw every frame to look the same and it just mot worth it when you can copy and paste frames. Also you need a high fps if you want your animation to look smoother when you are animating on twos
@@compostedhumanwaste I want to ask how can I move my character if there is a background.because everytime I try to move my character the background also follows.please let me know
U r truely an inspiration for ppl who can't afford fancy stuff for things like this. U draw so well just using a finger... Keep up the good work. I have a question do u draw on mobile or tablet?
🤔 I actually started first Animating on FlipNote in my DS (Yes. "FLIPNote".) It was really bad at first, so I hope I get the hang of Animating on a new Sofware/Device. And I hope y'all have a goodnight.
Just a tip guys; u don’t have to redraw every frame for it to look good 💖 sometimes it even looks better to just move certain parts around because it keeps the charceter consistent and the lines don’t wobble around (also then u can finish things quicker 😉) also I’m like no where near professional lol this is just what I think 🦕👍
Lmao I literally didn’t know how to animate cause of the frame thing but ever since I learned and that was like 3 months Ago my animation has gotten way better thanks
Another tip is to animate the key frames first then the breakdowns then the inbetweens, this will help you with the movement of the character and where to draw their position next, trust me I made the mistake of animating right after every single key frame but doing this made the motions a lot easier
4 minutes and they were able to say some BIG mistakes! I don’t have that much experience but in my personal experience that I do have all of them ARE mistakes or at least for the most part. Amazing video and very convenient
😕 A common mistake every (and I mean, EVERY) FlipaClip Creator makes is jittery Animation: An object moving 10 Pixels in one direction in each Frame is smooth, but an object moving 9 Pixels in one Frame, and 7 Pixels in another is jittery. The best way to describe jittery Animation is like a car breaking down, because it's like it's moving in different speeds. 😯 Another common mistake FlipaClip Creators make is accidentally resizing objects. the most common way this will occur is when you don't have a proper reference, or when you can't see the object anymore. So your mind has to get creative, but most of the time, you make the wrong calculations and end up making everything disproportionate.
this guy motivates me...I also draw with fingers in my phone and was about to quit because I thought stylus pen was the best this guy showed up and now I'm deciding to continue...thanks bro
Happy to say that I do all the steps a lot. The one I don't do the most are Arcs but I will incorporate more Arcs on my later Animations. Great video, definitely a Subscribe from me. 😄
The draw every frame part isnt rlly true U can get away with copying and pasting certain frames once or twice but most of ur frames should be new ones so the first tip isnt rlly true as many people use double and even tripple framing and their animations still turn out quite well
Great tips. Now one critique. All RU-vidrs need to focus on volume control. I hate having to turn the volume up to hear someone talk then down for music then back up to hear them talk again. I could barely hear what you were saying
@@campbellvickers3432 😮 Wait a minute... weren't you that person who started that Comment Section-War? (Please don't hate on me if the other person did it.)
Yeap bro you are wright I had also made animation long time ago only at flipa clip but other person don't like that you are wright my full support is with you good luck
Thank you so freaking much ahh I've been doing it all wrong and animate each frame a lil bit "too detailed" so it ended up with a less smooth looking animation (if that makes sense)
the thing is i cant really do EVERY frame by hand because i dont really have hands to do it with i use a laptop and have to make them with the mouse pad and some times i just get tired and copy paste. i cant afford a tablet phone or any mobile devices so what do i do then? any tips on how i can make it easier to draw every frame or mix copy pase with drawing? edit: another problem is that if i were to redraw each frame i cant usually remember each size which can be tedious to have to figure out or do it slightly fill it in then size it low and fill in any uneven stuff
Lovely video, for someone who has tried learning on my own, quick question though, how did you get your lines to be colored like that and visible between two framed?? Mine doesn't do that
