ASP11 How to use Frame by Frame with layers and masking
Posted: Fri May 29, 2015 5:21 pm
Hi everyone, here is a longer guide to using Frame by Frame in ASP11 with all the benefits of multiple layers and masking.
Although not immediately obvious, you can very easily keep all the layers synchronised by using a master layer for timing and referencing all the others.
Here is a template that will give you synced layers including blue line, clean-up, fill with masked highlights and shadows.
Many useful styles for FBF are included in the template.
It is fairly in depth and I do waffle on a bit but there are some useful hints in there ( some that I accidentally forget to utilise in the clip itself- keep an eye out for where I tell you that it's often best to use merge shapes and then leave it unchecked for the entire video- well done Chucky).
So be patient and check it out.
Oh and forgive the lousy drawing and animation, I just hope that the method of using the program might be useful and some far better artists will show us what can really be done in this increasingly powerful application.
I'll be happy to answer any questions.
