How to animate like Domics/Jaiden/Theodd1sout?

[Onyon]

Hi guys!

I want to make animations like JaidenAnimations, Domics, Theodd1sout, Tabbes and so on.

I know they're using Frame by Frame, but i want to do this with bones and vector layers.

I need 3 keyframes for my "Hi!".
The first is 100%, the second the same and the third is 0% to fade the "Hi!" out.

And here is my problem: Is there an easier way to make the layer disappear and appear?

If I got like 10 text layers or 10 vectory layers it would be a bit complicated to do at least 3 keyframes for every layer.
And i had to copy and paste many keyframes to do this.

And yes, i'm german so my Anime Studio version is.

CTRL-R and save out your "hi" artwork to a png file.
Import the png file back into Anime Studio/Moho.
You can now fade it out with two keyframes - one at the beginning and one at the end.

Don't know if the version you're using has the feature, but newer versions allow you to select multiple layers and fade using the layer opacity for all of them at once.

Stuff I do often: I put images or vector layers into group layers and animate that. If I need to do the same animation with multiple objects, I animate 1 group layer first, then duplicate that layer as often as needed, then change its content, and finally adjust the timing.

Thanks so much for all your help!

I didn't know it is possible to export the vector layer as a png file- good to know.

I'm using Anime Studio pro 11 right now, but i'm looking forward to get Moho 12 with the multiple timeline.

I'm glad for all the help you gave me and will take your suggestions in consideration. Though I think I found a solution to my problem now, but I'm grateful for all your awesome answers.
