There at the bottom, my file (whatever characters). It’ll open a browser to download your GIF, and then it’ll be saved! The second arrow says to uncheck that last box so the “FA” logo isn’t covering your animation (because logo’s are annoying…)Ĭlick that box that says GIF! And then it’ll say to download That first arrow just says you can change the fps to your desire. It’ll show the animation once every file has completed. Then, click open and they should start uploading. All of them should be highlighted afterwards. Hold down the “Shift” button and click on the last PNG file. Want a shortcut to clicking all those frames?Ĭlick on the first PNG file, then scroll all the way to the last one. Now, a folder should show up like that ^^^^ I mean mine just went straight to one of the animations I was working on, so just look for the place that you saved all your PNG files and upload all of them IN SEQUENCE. That pink box in the middle is asking you to upload all those PNG files that were saved into your folder. Well, I usually just duplicate that layer. It can get really confusing with all the layers, so it’s best to number them…the reason I say “number them” is because…what if you have this super detailed picture, right? And you don’t want to repaint or recolor or redraw everything because it took you TOO freaking long. OH before we move on, a note on animating. Now, select that folder and there should be a pop up that asks if you want to GIF it! ^^^ I called my file “Example” and if you can see, there’s other folders that I made for different animations. 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. hallo Look It's the tutorial people keep asking forFirealpaca is a free animation software that I've been using ever since I started, in combination with. 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” If you want all the facials to work with the red eye one, put the red eye. 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! She uses FireAlpaca for animation, Paint Tool SAI v2 for drawing. A strong pose through the whole body matters more than one mouth shape.How To Animate with FireAlpaca! If you haven’t seen their “How To” blog yet :) That’s why anime mouth flaps can work so well. What matters more than hitting every syllable is making it look natural and flow with the acting. This is the difference between getting swallowed up in every last detail and paying attention to reality. These are reference charts to show the differences more clearly Not only does the 2nd gif take less frames and energy to make, it’s more relaxed, it looks less distracting, and his lips are much easier to read! They blend together, sometimes to the point where the shape doesn’t change at all! People talk quickly and the mouth doesn’t have the time to get into each shape. You don’t need them! Making each shape is unnatural. Don’t do this.^Īn easy way to tell if you’re animating lip sync wrong is if you run out of frames to make each shape. Since you’re going frame by frame, your audio is slow enough that you can make each shape slowly and distinctly and you can get each individual phoneme down in the animation. What’s easiest is to say it yourself and pay attention to the shapes your mouth is making. When you do lip sync, you want some kind of reference to make sure it’s right Phonemes are just the shape your mouth makes when you make certain sounds. They’re just gifs so no sound, but you should still be able to tell that he’s saying “I’d say a solid B… Solid B minus.”Īnyone who’s looked up how to do lip sync has seen phoneme charts. I’m going to use a bit of unfinished lip sync from my taz animated part as reference. I mentioned on twitter that I wanted to do a lip sync tutorial and immediately got some people who were interested so I put one together real quick! The lip sync tutorial they DON’T give you
