Only anime that only jumps and flies

Maybe not only

Simple animation using a layer mask

The explanation of the animation is tough

The work is very simple

 

It is more interesting that you can control the layer mask

New animation

1)

With new animation

800px width 600px height Margin (top and bottom) 60 (left and right) 80

The frame rate of the timeline is 8 and the playback time is 3 seconds + 0 frames

Does not check the production frame and drawing size

"OK"

background

2)

Delete the animation folder in the layer palette

 

Add a new raster layer

Draw only running ground

Add a raster layer to grow grass, add another and draw stones

We made the margins on the canvas because the background is easy to draw

 

Put these three layers in a folder and name the folder "Background"

Close folder (can be locked)

Only layers

3)

Add three new raster layers above the folder

Name each layer

"Only red" "Only blue" "Only black"

Draw a horizontal line on each layer with each color

Only above this line will bounce (it does not matter if it shifts)

The order of the layers is

Red centered with black on the front and blue on the back

4)

In the layer palette, select any layer, so choose

 

Select "Selection pen" of the sub tool of the line waterfall range tool

In the tool properties palette

Set brush size to “30” anti-aliasing to “medium”

 

Draw a vertical line on the right edge of the canvas

 

Press "Create Layer Mask" of the command icon of the layer palette

 

Hold down (alt key) if this layer mask is windows and (option key) if mac

Drag it to the other two layers

The layer mask is copied

Working with the timeline

5)

Consider the timing of running only

 

Red at your own pace

Blue steadily overtakes Red

Black spurts but cannot catch up

While thinking about the flow

Decide when to show only on the timeline

 

Red runs from the beginning and is not overtaken by black until the end

Blue runs right after Red, but eventually overtakes

Black appears late in time, but did not catch up with Red

Adjust the width of the timeline layer display

6)

Select the object tool of the sub tool

On the timeline

Select the "Only Red" layer and click the "Enable keyframes for layer" icon

Select "Constant speed" of "Key frame interpolation"

 

Click (+) to the left of the name of the only red layer

Open and click "Mask"

(Check the layer palette, I think the layer mask is selected)

Click on the first frame of the "Mask" display only for the red layer

Hold down the (shift) key and press the right of the cursor key to see the red line on the layer

Position to the right of the export frame

(You can drag the cursor while holding down the shift key on the canvas.)

Click on the last frame of the "Mask" display for the only red layer

Hold down the (shift) key and press the left of the cursor key to see the red line on the layer

Position to the left of the export frame

 

This is done by "Enabling Layer Keyframes" for the "Blue" and "Black" layers

In the same way, position the mask on top

This is not only yet

Trajectory only

7)

In the layer palette

Add one raster layer above each layer

 

On the timeline

Decide the position (interval) where flea red jumps on the layer above only red

On canvas

I will draw the trajectory of only red jump

 

Draw a trajectory for "blue" and "black" while considering each characteristic

Operations on the layer palette

8)

Disable "Enable Timeline" once

Select "Enable timeline" in "Timeline" of the animation menu and remove the check

 

In the layer palette

Click on the red thumbnail only and select "Erase" from the Edit menu

The horizontal line disappears

Select the layer of the trajectory where only Red is jumping above

Press "Transfer to the lower layer" of the command icon of the layer palette

You can delete the transfer source layer

(If you select "Merge to lower layer" instead of "Transfer to lower layer", the key frame of the layer will disappear. Be careful!)

 

Do this for the “Blue” and “Black” layers

Be careful, don't make mistakes, because you think this is a rare task

Only runs out

9)

Select "Enable Timeline" in "Timeline" of the animation menu.

"Play" in the timeline
