Description
I started this tutorial a couple of months ago when i lost my animation program. I got about half way through and gave up, but i decided to finally finish it. i hope it will give people an idea of how i animate my emotes using 2 separate programs.I hope one or two people find this interesting. I'm aiming to now go on and show some of the special effects i've developed, but as i had already started this one i thought i would do this first

What would you do if you had an animated emote, perfectly fine, but you need to add to it? I use Iaza for animation... And That only allows 50 frames... Already got there...

sadly i'm not familiar with the program so all i could suggest is transferring the frames into a different program from this list [link]

Does this work with paint and a free gif animator?

To be honest, I'm not 100% sure. I would presume so as a few emoticonists i know use a free animator and paint however i've never personally tired it. Best thing to do is just give it a go and see

I found a program and I do everything the tutorial says, but when I go to put the png's together, the pictures just merge in the animator. How do I make a new frame?

Which program are you using as your animator?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
When inserting the frame, theres 2 options at the bottom. One is insert on the current frame, and one is on a new frame. Make sre you select the 2nd option and it will work

Do you know of any programs similar to paintshop pro that are free?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My only suggestion is GIMP. I'm not sure how similar it is, but i know it is free and has all the necessary tools to draw an emote in

Thats what I got.

I would use PSP X2 but i've got so used to X that i don't want to change as i would have to set up all my preferences again.

You know, I think mine just always saved as transparent. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Do you use the animation wizard? I'm just curious cos i went through the trouble of sorting out the transparent bg, but as soon as i saved it as a .gif it would turn the bg white
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have tried to use the wizard, but every time I do, it destroys my animation.

I'm really confused as to why mine never worked

was it version 3? Maybe the older ones didn't support transparency....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup, V3. i also tried 3.1 and still had issues
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, I see, you use an actual animation program. That explains the fact you can use transparency..

I really like the expressions on your emote's faces

As far as i know photoshop has its own inbuilt animation software
