I have been learning to use this program since your first tutorial, i'd just like to thank you for putting your help up here. The sound quality may not be great but iv'e learnt all the basics iv'e needed to start doodling and creating my own little animations. Just had one question, is it possible for me to create entire little "cartoons" on this program (Anime Studio Pro).

@Digby2583 Absolutely. Although you need dedication, and probably want to start with shorts.

HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP!!!!! how do i put the bones together? how do you put bones correctly? dop you hightlight the points? someone help (cry)

[jotoonkid]

The bones don't link together, you can just get them really really close as if they were linked.

i did this but instead of making the person in AS6 i did it in pain then when i went to put the shapes back together they moved weired and white covered nearly every part except the bones? do u know why it did this?

[jotoonkid]

Paint doesn't have alpha, and so any background white will stay there. If you have no idea what alpha is, you should probably just stick to making people in AS rather than paint.

Okay you officially suck at making tutorials...I can barely hear you at full volume, you give little to no verbal instruction. I cant even make the person like you did cause you never mentioned how to copy then paste and it would wind up backwards. Dude, it's a tutorial. TELL US HOW ITS DONE. I hate people who make tutorials like this...my god!

Thank you for the tutorial. The parenting of bones is the key to proper bone manipulation. Best wishes and seeya.

When I use the translate bones tool it only drags the bones, not the object. Someone posted that he had the same problem but fixed it, but he didn't say what he did to fix it... -__-

Also, when YOU go to "frame 1" I can see images of the different objects on the left side and keyframes on frame 0, but I don't have that at all...

@GrimmTeather can you tell me what you've done? cause I have the same problem and you didnt mention what you did wrong
