Yeah, a few hours after I did the tutorial I came to realize the bones tool is so buggy that it is unusable. I had stuff moving all over the place. The new timeline animation method is also whacked. After about 3 more days of frustration I have gone back to using "classic" tweens. @#$%^&* Adobe!!!!

Extremely helpful tutorial, I really like the problem solving element. This taught me to do the bone construction on my animation, which hopefully will appear on my channel in the near future. One thing I learned which avoids the problems seen here - start with all the pieces separated, with big gaps so there are no overlaps. when the joins are all made to the right areas, use alt button to drag the limbs back into their correct position. No more layer problems!!

I love the failing! It's much better than tutorials where people make it on the first try :)

thank you so much for your time. :)

this software makes me think of something called macromedia flash. its quite similar but it allso works!

Thank you so much for taking the time to make these tutorials, I love the way you present them showing all the pitfalls of the bone tool and how to get around them. Great tutorials :]

@OregonBrandon His bone tutorial was the best one out there and if you don't appreciate his free lesson make a better one yourself. The problem he came into and solved with the image layering at the beginning of this tutorial was KEY. The same layer / PNG border issue brought my deadlined project to a standstill for several days until he finally made this tutorial that explains the common error. So many ungrateful armchair quarterbacks...

@OregonBrandon no flash is just fucking retarded, undo button never reselects what you were just working with, thats proof enough adobe doesnt give a shit about this program....

[OregonBrandon]

firgure out how the bones tool works BEFORE you make a tutorial...

very slow pace... poor

[ZeLroy]

cant you just lock that layer or the eye so you cant see it?

i agree on all points. make sure to be clear about separating the body parts, and using control + up and control + down will make things faster.

(btw, is the Floyd in your name referring to Mayweather? if so, then that is another point I agree with)

[TuuuSam]

can i get thet image

It seems like you are having all kinds of problems because the way you separated the body parts. I strongly recommend making the pelvis a seperate peice and attaching both legs to it.

Also ctrl+up and ctrl+down are your friends here!

Anyways, good video. Its good to show common mistakes and why they are mistakes. most tutorials dont do that.
