Head Turn Tutorial - Anime Studio Head Turn with Switch Layer

This tutorial should be an other way to make Head turns in Anime Studio. Other ways ar the use of scale Bones, great but hard to understand (for me). And another way is the use of Actions, but this way doesn't really satisfy me. So Switch layer works great and give me exaclty what i need for my animations.

how do i bring something behind another in 7pro

[MrBallato]

@MarikXYami Just select the Shape you want to move and press SHIFT + DOWNARROW to move the Shape behind all others. To move the Shape step by step down press only DOWNARROW (or CTRL + DOWNARROW dont remember now). To bring it in front just do SHIFT + UPARROW.

i don't know if this is just me, but i am unable to make videos on anime studio 6 longer then 2 minutes. Is there a way to get past that?

[MrBallato]

@Morkinz

I don't know. Try to go to ->FIles-> Project properties, there you must be able to set the first and the last Keyframe. There you can change all the Project properties such as Movie hight, Movie width, Keys/seconds and Movie length.

@MrHallajs hey, i just started using this program myself so im a beginner also, like you said the SHIFT + DOWNARROW doesn't work, anyways all you have to do to put a layer under another layer is simply go to ur layer section where your Head, Eyes, Month, and or whatever you have layers for, and just drag your selected layer under each other, such as you would want your eyes to be over the head.. so you list the eye layer above your head layer, get it ? i hope i helped you im new at this =)

anyone help me, how do i move a shape behind another it wont work when i press shift + downarrow :/

[GaldraxiaProductions]

Yeah, there are lots of ways to do head turns, but I find the switch layers most convenient and simple. Also, if you want a smooth transition from one switch layer to the next, you can click on the layer settings on the switch layer and check the box next to "interpolate switch layers" on the last tab. It'll work if you've only moved points and not deleted any though.

Great video, I learned so much from this! Is this tutorial applicable to debut 6?

also is it possible to use this technique to animate a character who let's say is running torwards the viewer, such as switch layers for the arms/legs/torso/head/ect. ? many Thanks in advance.

I think your intention is good but the video resolution sucks. Thanks anyway.
