- An introduction video to learn how to create a simple animation in Photoshop using the video timeline option, onion skinning, as well as other tips and tricks.
Currently studying illustration and always wanted to animate. Thought the assignment I have been tasked with (creating an animation out of my illustrations) would be a nightmare, until I found your channel. You are a life saver! Thanks so much!
Your tutorial is short, clear and concise, in other words perfect. This is exactly what I needed and I wish I would have found this sooner. Thank you so much for doing this and doing it the right way too.
short? concise? not really. 11 minutes is way too much
5:44 enabling onion skin
thanks bruh, didnt need an 11 minute video jus to show how to enable something small like that
is there a way to change the color of the onion skin for the before and after to see a color difference between the two?
Great tutorial, many thanks
but how do you turn on onion skin for specific layers. i want onion skin for one layer while no onion skin for the other
Nice tutorial...
Very good, perfect fit
This video was very helpful
Thank You!!!
my mind is just BLOWING right now
but how to slow down animation or increase the number of frames for each drawing? great video!
Click on the same icon that you click to enable onion skinning. then select set Timeline frame rate
@@User_1976_Dodge this is to change the whole timeline right? I think what op asked was about the duration of each drawing. it's my question too... like, if I want to draw an eye blinking, but want the open state taking longer that the blinking state, how can I set this up?
@@SaraBeeAMS Yeah, It controls the speed of the animation. Lower Frames per Second (fps) means each frame stays longer thus slower animation.
30fps means each frame shows only 0.03 seconds while 10fps means each frame shows for 0.1 seconds. (More step-like than fluent)
If you want a frame to stay longer, you can do so by repeating that frame.
Let's say, the first frame eye is open, the second eye is half open, and the third frame eye is closed... now you can repeat the same frame for frames 4-5 as well, then the sixth frame eye is half open, 7th frame eye is open completely.
@@User_1976_Dodge thank you! I tried to do that in another way that I think it's easier than what's shown in the video
@@SaraBeeAMS You're welcome.
Frame by Frame Animation? If yes, I myself use that method, I create a layer per frame and as for Inion skin, I simply lower the opacity a little bit to see what's beneath it. gives me more flexibility.
Omg are you drawing that with a mouse? Lolz well done.
My only problem is how do you color the frames in the video layer? The paint bucket tool doesn't do a great job so I like to add color behind the outlines in a separate layer. Once i add the color on the frame i want in the video layer theirs no way to merge the color layer onto the frame in the video layer. PLEASE HELP!
Thank you josh
how do you change the fps? I'd like to change it from 29.97fps to 24fps
Click on the same icon that you click to enable onion skinning. then select set Timeline frame rate
My video is taking forever to render and sometimes my photoshop file will crash or freeze my computer. Is this just a problem with the 2021 version?
It really depends on the length of you animation, the size of your document, and also your computer. With a short and simple animation like mine, it shouldn’t take more than a minute or so.
@@joshheckendorf9192 Let me try to make the project size smaller and see if I will be easier to render my project without my computer crashing :)
Hi there. Can we render the animation in PNG?
Yes you can, but you will have 100 pngs in a folder somewhere. Then you can create a gif as well.
I tried using the onion skin and it doesnt work :(. It never shows the drawing from the previous frame...
I’m having the same issue currently thats why I searched this video.
Mouse drawing is very difficult with PVV
