That way no “repeats” are made or you aren’t saving over your files. I learned that after trying to make a new animation, it wouldn’t save! I was like “what? this worked last time, I know I’m doing it right.” Well, make a folder for each animation. It saves every frame in sequence as PNG files as “000″ “001″ “002″ and so forth. Now, before you move on, I’ll tell you this now. Now moving on, let’s say you’ve finished all your frames, right? Open the “File” drop down menu but go to the option that says “Export Layers” ^^^Here you can choose how many fps you’re gonna use :) Once dropped down there is an option called “AutoPlay” which is beneath “Onion Skin Mode” There’s an option on the same drop down menu under “View”. Now, let’s say you want to check how your animation looks so far. Once opened, if you make a new layer, the previous layer will be colored red and the layer above it if you’re checking frames will be green! Now let’s say you’ve just finished your final product and want to animate, yeah? There’s an option on top labelled “View” which you want to drop down and there will be an option called “Onion Skin Mode” I’m not a big animator here, like, at all, but I know how to animate!Ĭheck below the cut if you want to find out!
