whats the name of the song?

[kyuubikid213]

WHAT IS THE SONG?!!

[takato132]

i need help finding mspaint whre can i download it online

[kyuubikid213]

@takato132 If you have Windows ANYTHING it comes with it.

If you have a Mac, I can't help you.

[Shadowangel691]

@takato132 If you have A windows then click Start and then the show all button (Or whatever it's called-I forgot,I use a mac) then click accessories and it should be there.If you have a Mac,try downloading Gimp,It's sorta like photoshop...which is more complex than MsPaint but it does have the same tools :D

[Assassin14Deadlink]

Hello, I Sort of do the same animation as you, I Use Photoshp cs5 to draw my characters because you have layers

[TheAutumnAyane]

add shading

[tjdudangel]

I have some questions.

What do you mean by key frames?

and when you try to color one of your drawing that was already saved and was exit out of paint and was reopened up again, when you try to use the paint bucket to color it, there are some parts where it's not/ can't be colored. Do you have any idea or suggestions how to not get those things when you try to color ur drawing?

[KayxXxCee]

@tjdudangel Key frames are the most important frames of the animation (the most important images). Check it out on Google, there's a pretty good description.

[Momosama123]

What button do you press for the key frames? I

[soulblaser]

[crazyrockstar19]

[justy1onle]

you don't need to download anything,you can use windows movie maker.

if you have paint,you'll have movie maker.

ask if you need any more help! XD

[loco4coco1235]

Actually, WMM only came with windows XP

[xMercuryx56]

@crazyrockstar19 Windows Movie Maker?

[KIBAfang90]

yes windows movie maker a program that comes with your computer.

(liberty sais hi)

[xMercuryx56]

[KIBAfang90]

(Liberty sais hi)

[shadowwolf337]

Yeah, good info! And great work!

[iiinicka]

how do I put it all togethet????

[JMVpokefan]

This looks so cool! but can u explain which keys or buttons 2 click to make those in between frames. thats pretty much the only info i need 2 know 4 now. Thanx! ^^

[letsgo75]

im still confused

[Kumiko775]

I didnt understand anything u wrote but nevermind >.> Maybe cuz I am using WMM that is easy to understand.... I can say this video wont help for beginers ( I AM NOT BEGINER! )

[WhatTheHeckAnimation]

thats true, though you can make some pretty good animations with paint BUT it takes FOREVER!

[pokerockmario123]

not really, doesn't take that long.

[soldier4670]

my mistake it's macromedia really confusing XD

[soldier4670]

Edit: it's adobe flash

[soldier4670]

you can do this with macromedia flash also easier to make games, videos ect

[hilarioph]

Do you use the movie maker when you use the ms paint?

[SilviaakaMippyPro]

what i do to make my animated movies is draw everything i need in paint then place all the pictures in movie maker and just edit the speed and everything and save the video once i done doing voices and all.

[Desecutive]

Use ImageReady.

[SunInHerSmile]

=0 i dont understand, anything

[unnoon]

i dont understand this pls help me :s

[meh842]

when you drew all the coloured lines how did you get them all black, did you fill them? when you fill mine only sections of the line fill >.>

[crymsonarkanjel]

Select the current color of the line as your primary color and black as your secondary color, then using the eraser tool go over it while holding the right click button.

[meh842]

:O ooo that makes sense thanks alot ^_^

[kurumilover2003]

Wow, this is great! My paint animation here on youtube were "animated" on paint, but not like that!

that's really good information, thank you! i'll try to use it in my next one :D

[abby2234]

ahh..this is hard lol

[abby2234]

lol i cant work out ps 0.0

anyway paint will do 4 the mo =P

[zimsfriend]

you should become a member of deviant art.i love your drawing;D

[ReitannaSeishin]

i do it way differently, but this way does work. in fact, i think your way is ten times smoother than mine. ^^

[xis10ce]

awesome vid

[greenpigen]

i think its awsome, i wanna animate 2, but i just cant figure GIF out.... sigh, if u made a video how to learn that, i would love it ^_^

[EFDragon]

you see, even at the end you can see how good photoshop is =p

i freakin love photoshop

im pretty much a PS whore

[okamiheaven14]

wow that is one awesome MS Paint animation tutorial! the person's hair waving around looks 3D

[totalanimefanatic]

You don't really need a GIF compiler to animate, but it might help a tad.

All you have to do is zoom in on WMM on the timeline and shrink the files.

But this was a good tutorial. :)

[BrideOfEdward]

that's how i animate, but it takes a LOT of time. I recomend the GIF thingy/

[DUDEIMSIGNEDUP]

Can someone please give me a couple examples of gif compiler programs?

[Pokeball26]

Easytoons, but you have to color it in jasc animation shop, or any other program you can find

[brednbudder]

i say unfreez is the best.

[Pokeball26]

What's unfreez?

[EFDragon]

photoshop ftw :D

the program has quite a bit of versitility

i think its worth it

normally you'd have to spend 2X as much buying seperate professional programs, and there you would have to constantly switch programs too

[SinAgurk]

I got the Adobe CS3 Master Collection for free... Guess who's been on PS 24-7!!! I'm doing stickmananimations on it atm :P

Btw... I made an animation using only special brushes at first, but people keeps letting me it's cheating X3

[SinAgurk]

Telling* :P

[ExilleFromPie]

Gimp - Free just google it

[RuneAnime500]

Okay, i'm trying to learn how to animate, since it's only my first time, but the problem is I use paint to do my animation, can microsoft photo editor work for this animation to process?

[DynaMoMo]

Cool vid! I just started making videos too using MS Paint. Check them out if you'd like too.

[LeComaAnim]

I have a secret for you - you didn't animate this like the pros.

[h8r4me]

What is a GIF compiler?

Is it on the computer or u have to buy it somewhere?

[Narutoluver15]

its the file format that you save a picture through

[XxToKyOmEwxX]

Wow, thanks Stacy! This was a huge help! :3

[happysheep07]

o-o awesome vid...umm..confused me just a little but its great!

[JiraiyaZantIssun]

how do you put two animations on top of one another?

[AnimateMeee]

i need help what do you mean by save the hair.....i save the hair but when i save the hair on the head then its there...like i cant make another hair on top....u get me....Please Reply!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Xstacy02]

Honestly I don't quite comprehend the 'save the hair' part, but I believe you should have saved the hair frames as individual frames, and not save it with the head as well.

[Saquya]

This is really good. I made an animation called "out of the sea" i'd like you to see. ^.^ please check it out.

[haster789]

where u get th GIF workshop?

[Cazmill13]

Wow. Cool.

How long time does it take you to make an animated drawing like this?

[Kyoto14]

can u tellme where i can download the same photoshop as you? and the anymation is GREATTTTTTTTTTTTT ^^

[Xstacy02]

it can only be purchased. do not support illegal download.

[DarkeAnime]

I still don't get it. =(

[x0punkykisses0x]

Me neither,it isn't clear enough

[LRMMcDonnell]

cool, how did you impose the stuff though!?

[MadRockerGirl]

were do i get a pic editor thingy?

[JegXIII]

*sigh*

This video didn't help...

[Xstacy02]

use the curves function rather than pencil.

also, try drawing on a larger sized area before shrinking it for less pixelised images.

[tasfa10]

i've a stick figures animation on paint.. see it

[awp192]

great allthough itdoesnt really look that much bettr in photoshop does it

[sweetdream242424163]

yea but it looks dat tiny bit betta and adds more tone

[DancingWitScissors]

o-o;;

Thats all good and stuff...

But, it doesn't really tell me much HOW to.

^^; gomen ne.

[Alyssa12345gal]

thats good and all, but no offence, your way is much harder to understand (again no offence) then this other girl who I know. Again, sorry

[Krisio78]

that is so kool! T-T

[XxToKyOmEwxX]

woooow amazing :O only i used layers in photoshop instead ^^

[Greendayrocks789]

whoa thats amazing drawing for windows paint! i could never draw that good on windows paint(lol i probably couldnt draw that good at all)

great video!

[mewrikka]

THANK. YOU. This was great! I NEVER thought of that!!! xDDDDD Thanks so much! This will definately come in handy~~ Thanks!!!

*hit with brick*

[franki4ever]

Dancing hair!

[blathebla06]

I never thought of doing it that way, I've done GIF animations before but thats a good technique, thanks for uploading :)

[cinderpelty]

Or download it from emuel

[KaraConga]

OR from piratebay thats where I got mine xP

[mewwinxsailormelody]

how do you get photoshop?

[Xstacy02]

buy it

[cuteycutegirl54]

How do I crate a frame.I don't know.

[Xstacy02]

Using Microsoft Paint?

[cuteycutegirl54]

okay.

[rikuizo]

hey what gif compleir do you use?

[Xstacy02]

I used Saint Paint. You may also use Pro Motion software. I find them user friendly.

[irishsk8erkid]

try downloading atani search t on google it sucks but it works and its free

[spaceeskimo11t]

a little complex

[CheriiChan]

u all can go to my profile to see fast moving animations. i do mine a tad differently. =] but i liked ur way. it got a tad confusing with all the lines tohugh ^-^. Im gonna be a cartoonist when i grow up =]

[Xstacy02]

you can sample some from downloadcom

[Fideodido]

flash ftw

[chinasky00]

Everytime i put my drawings from paint into the win movie maker, i shuts off, they are around 30 drawings in bitmap format, is there a limit or smt?

[Xstacy02]

i don't think there's a limit. but i would suggest that you use a GIF compiler or something similar as movie maker is not the best tool for the job.

[bubbaUK]

lololol that will take 10 years if you have to create a complete animation movie

[xXJHovXX]

Yo.... thankz so much for uploading vids like this... so helpful....

[Xstacy02]

actually, this "GIF compiler" does NOT come with Photoshop. You cannot use Photoshop to create animations, but merely to make the frames look 'better'. Any program that could create flipbook animations will suffice.

[XxToKyOmEwxX]

like how i used animation shop?

[Xstacy02]

This music isn't from BLEACH; it is the opening song for Dirty Pair TV anime (1985)

[Xstacy02]

it's like layering one image over another (e.g. background)

[shukei01]

Excelent work...congrats

[samuraichi]

dude what programe do u use to animate it??? i am goingt o fav this it rox!^_^
