This video is an introduction to frame by frame animation. It shows how animation works by changing each frame slightly to create movement. One tool that seems easy to use is the timeline panel, because it’s just adding frames and playing them like a slideshow. The idea of duplicating frames and making small edits seems pretty straightforward and easy for beginners.
I think what might be harder is keeping track of all the layers and frames at the same time. It seems like it could get confusing if you have a lot of frames. I found it interesting how animation is basically just many still images put together, it makes it feel less intimidating.
This video goes more in-depth and shows the full process step by step, like creating layers for each frame and using the brush tool to draw. Adobe Photoshop uses layers often to help organize the animation.
The brush tool seems easy to use for drawing animations. I think the harder part would be tracing previous frames because it takes more precision and patience. It's smart for animators lower opacity to trace the previous frame. It’s kind of like digital flipbook animation.
This video focuses more on animation concepts like keyframes, in-betweens, and onion skinning. It explains how movement is created and how to make animations look smooth or fast depending on timing.
Onion skinning seems interesting because it helps you see previous frames while drawing. That seems really helpful but also a little confusing at first. I think understanding timing and spacing will be harder than using the tools themselves, because it’s more about creativity and practice. It's interesting that animation is a lot about rhythm and timing.
Some questions I have are: What’s the difference between keyframes and regular frames in Photoshop? And how do you know how many in-between frames to add?
