What's in the course?
The course covers all the basics. Interface, art and drawing tools, using symbols, understanding the timeline and working with colors.
After we cover our bases, we go over some basic principles of animation, like timing, spacing, and working in passes, just so we're all on the same page.
After that we get into the nitty gritty of animating our first shot, using hand drawn, frame by frame animation. All the way from key posing to cleanup to final color.
Then we cover a different approach to animation, using tweening, which is one of Animate's most powerful tools. We cover motion tween, classic tween and shape tween, using each for a different situation.
Then we'll take a moment to discuss storyboarding and show how to create an animatic directly in Animate. We'll add some sound, and prepare our scene for final animation.
Then we get to animating our second shot, this time using a rigged character instead of frame-by-frame. We'll show how to rig the character from scratch (using parenting and the bone tool) as well as cover the process of lip-syncing.
When we're ready to export our animation, we'll go over all the different options and settings for best results.

![[NEW] Stop Motion Animation course
Get the course: https://www.bloopanimation.com/stop-motion-animation/
So what is this course about? Well... its awesome.
It teaches you all the basics of setting up for making stop-motion animation, as well as how to use Dragonframe, the industry standard for stop-motion.
We start by going over the basic principles of stop motion. What youll need to setup a proper stop motion environment, as well as a quick overview of Dragonframe - the industry standard program for stop-motion animation.
After covering the basics of how stop motion works, we go over connecting and setting up a camera, as well as how to light our scene.
Then we show how to build a set for our animation sequence, and construct a clay character from scratch.
When our assets are ready, we get into animating all the shots for our sequence. We cover Dragonframes planning tools, audio tools, onion skinning & toggling, and even lip syncing.
When our animation is ready, we show how to export our images from Dragonframe into an editing program such as Premiere, and learn how to use After Effects for rig removal and working with RAW files.
