Introduction

I made a moving picture, but can't I make an animation from that file?

I want to know how to make it!

It is a commentary for those who thought.

 

As a premise

Picture with left foot forward

Picture in the middle

Picture with left foot lowered

 

How to make when there are multiple pictures like this.

If you want to use it as a tutorial, you can use the above 3 cards in DL.

(Unauthorized reproduction, not for sale)

Display the timeline

Illustration is each

Layer 1 (left foot forward)

Layer 2 (Picture in the middle)

Layer 3 (left foot behind)

 

And lined up in layers.

The timeline is not displayed if it is an illustration file.

 

You need a timeline to make animations.

Let's open the timeline.

Select a timeline from the window

The timeline is displayed below.

Create a new timeline

Initially, nothing is displayed on the timeline.

 

First you need to open a new timeline in the timeline window.

 

Click the new timeline icon in the timeline window.

Opens a window for setting timeline settings.

 

Set the frame rate and playback time to 24 and press OK.

 

The frame rate is a setting for how many seconds are divided.

The playback time is a setting of how many frames to use

• (You can set only up to 24 frames in PRO.)

 

Then it will be displayed like this.

The picture cannot be switched if this is the case.

(If you use the timeline well, you can actually do it, but it is difficult to manage layers so it is easy to switch)

Open new animation folder

How to make an animation with Krista

You need to create an animation folder.

Click the new animation folder on the timeline.

① Click the new animation folder to add a folder to the layer.

② Drag and drop the picture into it and insert it.

③ Once inserted, the picture will be displayed in the same timeline so that you can switch.

Timeline driving

Enter timeline

Right-click on the timeline to enter the timeline.

You can sort layers.

 

This timeline is already sorted.

The description will change, but the layers in the layer folder

Because the order changed when I inserted it into the animation folder

From the top

Layer 3 (left foot behind)

Layer 2 (Picture in the middle)

Layer 1 (left foot forward)

 

Was rearranged.

 

And on the timeline

Layers 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 2

And input every 3 frames.

 

Since the animation is looped from the last picture, there is no need to put a 1 at the end.

Play and export

Let's first check how the animation works

Press the triangle button on the timeline to play.

 

Press the button with the arrow next to the right to play the loop.

If you're OK with this, start writing.

Export animation from file and select animated GIF

 

Decide the storage location and name

This screen will be displayed once the storage location and name are determined.

 

The output range is how many frames to how many frames to export.

Since it is a loop, it will be a loop from 1 to 12,

This time, it is set and output from 1 to 24.

Here is the completed GIF.

Thank you for your hard work

This is the explanation.

 

If you make an animation file from the beginning,

There is a line called a production frame, and the export is within that range,

If you make from the illustration, there is no setting of the production frame

It will be a full screen export.

 

If you want a smaller range

Edit → Change Canvas Size

Or

Select the range you want to export with the selection → Edit → Match the canvas size to the selection

 

Need to be trimmed.

 

 

I'm glad if you can use it as a reference.

Thank you for watching until the end.
