[pivot101God]

wtf? how do u draw these perfect stickman kinda thick and not have to keep drawing them for every frame!!!pivot is alot easier than this this is only to add effects to pivot after the anaimtion is complete

[863games]

@pivot101God True but most animators don't draw stick people, it's ok to begin with. If you want to be a better animator then use flash or pencil animation program.

[josyula547]

[FlawchyTheDuck]

What is overshoot and where is it?

[HadensProduction]

Good Tutorial! Great for beginners 5/5

[mrmanicmuffin]

pleas somebody tell me how do i make pivot points

[pkizza0]

I havnt acctually inserted joints between symbols ect. Iv simply selected the symbols to move and the free transform tool. With this you can move the point of rotation (white circle) and the symbol(s) selected will rotate around that point.

[aandre311]

when u select the symbol normally have the pivot point in the center u can move it wherever u want u can select where u want it to be when u make the symbol though

[skatebordkikers]

how do u create pivot points

[fayaz099]

make a tutorial how you did it please tell us

[HaHaProductions25]

how can we like make something form a fist to a waving hand?

[ZanhiXX]

Wowza, I'm the latest post. Great tutorial by the way.

How did you make the character?

I fail at trying to do so. xD

[randomjunkrox]

hey when will your next tutorial metioned in the coments be posted?

[pkizza0]

if ya need a tutorial send a PM. Ill probably have a go at making another.

[jbkrule]

what did you use to learn flash?

[Dansback]

okay i'd really like to make a really good one

[PiggyStudios]

that helped sooo much thanks i will definitely b watching more of ur tutorials

[pkizza0]

Thx, if ya need a tutorial, just ask.

[randomjunkrox]

hey, can you make a tutorial about getting characters to walk using symbols and tweening, that would be great because i cant find any on youtube.

[pkizza0]

Aghhh, didnt see this comment, Im sure ill fidn soem time for that.

[jbkrule]

hey randomjunkrox, on cartoonsmart (search it in google) they have some great free video tutorials. I haven't tried any of the pay ones but they have the first 1 or 2 hours of a walking tutorial that is really helpful.

[sora887665]

i posted my video response

that is the video that i made using this tutorial.

thanks a BUNCH man ur great

[pkizza0]

wow, glad to see i acctually helped someone.

If ya got any questions, just ask.

[Xonah]

Hmm... Some ppl motion tween like this right? I really want to know how they do that, well this kinda helped me too, TY!

[pkizza0]

It gets the job done faster but sometimes frame by frame is neccesary.

[Xonah]

When i Motion Tween it and lets say the guy waves, it looks really strange. It doesn't fit with the other parts of the arm. Do u know what im doin wrong?

[pkizza0]

The pivot points(white dots when symbol is selected with the freeform tool) need to be put in the right place before tweening.

My video came out too fast and it is difficult to see me doing it.

If you can tell me something that u need help with i might make another tutorial.

[Xonah]

Cool! Well are u good in making fight movies? 'Cause i dont know how to make, u know, beams :]

And maybe a motion tween tutorial, how to make a walking guy orsomething :]

Ill subscribe immediatly ;]

[pkizza0]

well. a beam could be done frame by frame in an nfinite number of ways but i think i might try a motion tweended beem for ya.

Would you like me to do it like a tutorial or just record myself animating it?

[Xonah]

Whats the best for u :]

And I've got a problem, when i add sound in my flash, then add new scene the sound is gone. But i want it to continue from the last part of the previous scene, how to do that?

[pkizza0]

hmmmmm... I dont ussually work with scenes but i guess you should w8 for that sound to end until you change scenes.

But if its music i can see your problem.

iv never ran into that problem before but ill look into it.

[DoomSentinel]

hey what is the purpose of symbols? and y cant i paint sometimes?

[pkizza0]

maybe because you dont have any frames inserted.

[pkizza0]

do you have msn. i could talk to you their.

for backgrounds i use a different layer and craete a symbol which is the background.

or maybe a forground and background layer/symbol.

[pkizza0]

it wasnt too fast for u too read???

it kinda came out to fast when i uploaded it.

make sure u use layers and have the arm layers behind the body layers.

i think thats what your asking about, right?
