Hey, nice! Thank you!
I didn’t know Micha was still alive
Michafrar, damn I have massive respect for you, wow 🤩
God's work.
not all heroes wear capes
This is literally like an actual lesson I’d pay a ridiculous amount for if it were a college class
it is an actual lesson
Hidden fees. You're already paying
Don’t give him ideas
@@BcBTheta oops
It's sad that I learned more about how to use flash here than I did in my whole semester of Intro to Animation where flash was our main program.
Everybody give Ross a big smooch cuz this is the most beginner friendly tutorial I've seen
**smooches**
Unfortunately it's illegal for me to do so...
Also he's got a girlfriend so....

ive used flash for 7 years but watched this whole thing just cuz it was entertaining :D
the little monster animation gave me a good laugh xD
I've got a question. How can I draw four triangles in Flash and join each others so that they form a circle but when I select each triangle with the selection tool they remain separate?
Why does my lines always come out as blue even though the color should be blavk
Do u use this software for those fortnite adventure videos?
This 35 minute video has all the information i learned in my 4 month intro to animation course
Finally, I can learn to animate my Sonic x Elon Musk fanfiction
O-oh! That's uhh... Have... Have fun with that...
My eyes are melting just reading that
Make Washington a side chick
Go for it!
I'm just not gonna ask
"Definitely look into the freee triaaal okay?" *Very subtle pirating urges awaken*
NeverEndingFear lol true
Do you know how to pirate it?
The best way to get commercial products *cough* totally *cough* legally is a website called get into pc just search that and it should come up. You will need win-zip or 7-zip in order to do so. I got photoshop off of it and it works perfectly fine.

Finally, a tutorial that doesn't make me feel like an idiot. You actually go through each step and say why and how you did each thing. So many tutorials i have seen skip past so many steps. I learned more in this video than i have in my 3 years at University and i paid £9,200 a year for that. Thank you!
Your name's really fancy.
@@b_a_fps1569 lol
its college ever worth it.. idk if i should go because keep seeing people saying they learned more on youtube lol
@@wokk9543 for the qualifications, yes. but if you have multiple pieces of work in your portfolio, an employer might accept it. the qualifications do get a lot more attention and are a lot more convincing since the employer might think you stole the work. however, if you do want to do something like that college is a good idea. since I'm in England the price differs from age and it could be free or around £2000-£3000 and we learn and know more than most universities. so I recommend finding a reasonably priced one
People who make tutorials and show the keyboard shortcuts on the screen as their doing them are the true heros
ross actually made me want to be an animator and last year i actually started studying it, my first tablet just came in last month, and now this video comes out? definitely a sign
just do it
It’s your destiny
I've always wanted to start learning animation and this was the perfect tutorial for me! Btw if it would help anyone I'm including some brief notes to remember key things from the video.
25-30 fps
Make sure to have properties panel visible
Delete keyframe -Shift F5
F5- lines being held for multiple keyframes
Blank keyframe- F7 or right click
Play animation- Enter
On layer guide is to make it invisible
Free transform tool- hold shift to keep proportions, let go of shift to distort, alt to skew (more options on bottom of tools)
While brush tool is selected, there is a semi circle towards the bottom that will complete lines for filling purposes
Bone tool helps bind shapes together
For eraser tool there is also another tool at the bottom that allows you to choose what you erase
Use pencil for sketching and then you are able to erase it with the options on the erase tool
Create classic tween when right clicking on keyframe- Click F8, name it
Movie clip v graphic- Movie clips will not play in route timeline, they are used for special affects to be added to them
Click arrow to go back to main timeline when dealing with a graphic
CTRL shift V- paste graphic in place
Control L for library
Classic tween- keyframe turn blue when clicked off means that you have created a point a and b
Classic Ease- Properties panel, when at 100, it makes the first point slow down when coming to the next point and vice versa
Every motion tween on different layer
Hitting Q on a selection turns on free transform
Move pivot points when transforming to, well pivot
Make background a symbol, black box that shows indicates canvas, create motion tween between points on canvas to make it move
Lock background
Double click to go inside of the symbol
Go down into timeline and double click to insert symbol frames
Audacity for audio
New layer, file, import, import to library, find audio. Properties panel should have the option to import the audio. Make sure to click stream to be able to listen to the audio.

Underappreciated comment! Thank you!
Wow. This is great! TYSM
This is really really helpful and amazing but i like how you said "brief"
hmm, interesting, i'll use that to draw in it, Thank you
thanks man really appreciate the notes have a good and fruitful life
Really glad this channels gone back to art and animation. Good way to start the decade.
I was thinking of animating and this tutorial was probably the best most begginer friendly one out there. Incredible job, didnt even start anything but this will be revisited, multiple times.
I'm only 6 minutes into this video and I feel compelled to already thank you so much for it. Knowing the shortcuts flat out and having you explain it so simply in the first few minutes has been more useful than any of the other videos I've come across so far. Thank you!
ross you are an absolute legend
ive never understood adobe programs, theyre a lot for me to tackle and i never have the patience to read through complicated tutorials. ive always wanted to start animating but i never knew how anything worked.
this is THE most beginner friendly tutorial and i love you. you explain everything so well and dont overload on information. i finally have an actual starting point
As a kid who is going to start animation, this is very helpful. The fact that you speak in a way where you are teaching me without talking down to me is great, which is hard to do when teaching someone. You made this tutorial entertaining and helpful, and I thank you for that. Definitely a new subscriber!
I really do appreciate this, thank you very much. I've been watching tutorials for months to get just part of the information and you've broken it down so easily. I wanted information from somebody who had a real understanding and one of my favorite animators on top of that so thank you very much i really appreciate it👍 I won't forget it
I just got adobe animate with my elective this year for high school for learning photoshop, and I'm pretty familiar with drawing apps and animation software in general, but when I saw you had a tutorial I immediately clicked. Love you dude, you're amazing. ❤
I am super happy and grateful that you are making these tutorials now. Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Ross, thank you so much for this! I'm a PA for a studio and just today I was trying to find some good tutorials to send home with our interns, because for some reason, learning the fundamentals of these commonly used programs isn't a required part of the curriculum of even a lot of the top art schools. I tried to explain the best I could, but I know I'm shite at it. Long story short... bless you.
This was all super helpful! and thank you for including the key shortcuts, I haven't heard about those until now! Your voice is nice to listen to I enjoyed watching!
Imagine being in an animation class with a teacher who doesn't know how to use animate so she relies on Photoshop? Anyways, thanks Ross I've probably learned more from this video than I have the entire year taking that class
Sloppiest Joe I once had to teach a graphic design class how to use 2001 photoshop based off a few years of self taught knowledge from using a newer version of it, because the teacher knew nothing about the program and was just reading a book out to us.
Thank you so much for this. I just started trying this because I had access, and it's nice seeing a person I trust doing a tutorial.

Uh huh. Right.
Don't forget to add that Skin Tone!
@@RicoMinovo And veins, and hair!
Instant veteran card to anyone who unintentionally calls Animate "Flash".
Well do i have some news for you
I've made an animation in Newgrounds and everyone is triggered by how I said my software was Adobe Flash CC 2019
Thanks for all your hard work, Ross. I appreciate being able to learn from you.
I learned a lot from this
This is amazingly well said/explained! Thanks Ross!! I’ve been looking to get into basic animation just for fun and now I can :^). You’re a very good teacher.
YES ROSS! Thank you! I’ve been wanting to get into animation for forever
This is the best tutorial I have ever seen! Number one...I could understand almost every single word you said. You were clear. Other things I liked: personable, funny, informative, helpful, entertaining. I can find no fault. This goes out to all you tube creators...emulate RubberNinja!
Dude, this is extremely helpful, not just for me but also my friends! Thank you so much, man! Have a great day!
So grateful for this! One of the only tutorials I’ve found that has made sense to me :”) thank u Ross!!
You rock. What i have been looking for all these days you have it. Great job
Thank you for this tutorial, having never tried animation before but use Illustrator and Photoshop on a daily basis as a Graphic Designer, this is fabulous.
I've been using SAI and Premiere to do some basic Storyboard Animations, but thanks to this video, I can actually Man up and use Animate. Thanks Ross!
Thanks for posting this, Ross! Will be using this for the Animation class I just recently got a TA job for. I'm sure my students will appreciate this!
This obviously took a lot of time to edit, and you really walked us through each step of the process. Thank you so much for your time and this video, you did an amazing job. :)
*uses this tutorial for flipnote studio because I can’t afford the software*
SmashyPlays That’s pretty smart actually! Tbh $20 a month isn’t bad at all tho
If it wasn’t for Torrent Download I probably wouldn’t have learned any adobe program at all. 😎
@@dewbzki Ehhh considering most people make 8-9 bucks an hour in most states. That kind of cost is big risk for most people now espeically if it is monthly
@@dewbzki $20/m is way more over time than what Flash used to be when it was flat pricing
Syloui instead of a subscription they should just have us have the option to pay for it
I could listen to Ross explain literally anything for hours because the way he talks is so easy to listen to and understand
I LOVE every single one of your new videos, Ross!
Thanks alot, this is awesome I have always looked for videos to help with animation but they all expected you to know everything but you Ross explained it nice and simple I really appreciate it.
This was my first animation tutorial, happy to start my journey in the right way ❤️❤️🔥
this genuinely taught me more and made more sense then a week long summer college class- thank you ross!
This was the most i have learned and enjoyed it in a single sitting in a hot moment. Thanks, hun, this was hilarious and great! I am excited to give it a go!
I really appreciate you doing this, Ross. All of the other Animate tutorials I've seen were pretty helpful, but they all seemed pretty outdated. I also didn't have a tablet then, so... :/
But I have one now and I'm gonna be animating like nobody's business ! Thanks for making these new tutorials! Can't wait for the Social Monsters cartoon!
why is ross like a perfect teacher, i'd listen in all his classes
For some reason sound does not play in the timeline. I think it may be the new Catalina on new Macs. I's driving me insane. Anyone else with this issue?
Have to set it to stream in the properties.
I don't have Adobe Animate but I thank you for the Tutorial most big-name animators would never do this and shows how much you really want to help people get into it.
Love this tutorial. This is the only one that taught me how to animate. Great job
*thank god this exists* I need this so badly and I’ve been trying to use animate for 2 months and this finally helps!
FINALLY!!! Please do more, Ross! Thank you! Hope you’re doing well :)
Omg thank you so much TwT i didn't understand about music and others stuff and i was looking for that and you're the only one that respond to me 😅😂 i'm happy thank you so much again 😭
Thank you so much for your lesson. You gave me motivation to reconcile myself with animation software.
Yo this is actually perfect timing. I got adobe animate yesterday. THANK YOU ROSS
The most useful and the best tutorial of adobe animate that i ever found and really really it's the best video,everything in this video is explained very very clearly.......................And dude you are also too HANDSOME and I am not joking i am serious.
Ive been trying to figure out adobe animate for a while so this is a god send man
Thank you so much!
Your lesson is really helpful for me, because I've never made any animation before and every of your words is a learning experience 😀
im soo new to adobe animate and you are one of the best teachers out there. Very clearly explained.
omg, this is amazingly helpful! I couldn't figure out adobe animate for the life of me and even pulled out of a MAP. thank you!
Do you know what I love about UA-cam? It recommended me this video when I decided to learn how to do animations so that I could animate a Warrior Cat fanfic I wrote. And, it is a 35 minute video that covers everything in a four month course FOR FREE! Also great video! 👍
so happy you made this video, my drawing tablet arrives today and I can't wait to try all this new stuff out on it
Ross is like the Lawful good version of Oney

BRUH THIS VIDEO IS SO USEFUL!! It makes everything sound much simpler! Thanks
I just got myself a graphic tablet. And i know nothing about animation. You made it look easy. Keep up the good work
thank you for uploading this. today is my first day learning animate and your video is easy to understand
That lil TV in the background is such a brilliant decoration. Really brings Ross's office together
Awesome tutorial haha. Loved the little monster, Guy.
Thanks so much for the guides, although I, as not a English native speaker, have to watch again and again. But, it is so useful to me, out of a lot videos out there talking sophisticated stuff.
I'm a beginner for Adobe Animate, thank you so much for some tips I got from your video man, I really appreciate it.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. My school and I just got adobe education meaning I can finally start using adobe Animate and I couldn't figure out how to make a blank keyframe and a lot of other stuff and this really helped me out :)
oh my god ross i love you ive been animating for 4 years but always on cheap iphone softwares and i finally got a computer and flash for christmas and was LOST lost i love you rossssss
Dude, Best Tutorial I've ever seen GUD JOB!
This tutorial is crackin cheers! Cant wait for your next ones

This had been super helpful! can't wait for the next one :)
Perfect timing. I literally downloaded Animate yesterday
U mean 4 months ago
U mean 8 months ago
U mean 1 year and 1 day ago
U mean 100 billion years ago

Thank you so much sir for the video.. I've learned so much. I do a self study for animation almost 2 years now and I still sucks with it. I know the tools and it's functions, but my problems is how to start with animation and when to use such tools and many more.. this video explains well. Thank you sir🤗
i already know most of these things about Adobe Animate but i just love hearing Ross explain things to me
very arousing
Ha tru
Kudos to you for not leaning on the Owen Wilson guest appearance as click bait.
This is the BEST tutorial for animate on UA-cam, thanks!
Dude you dont even know how much this helped! Also I cant believe the line shading trick is so easy, ive wanted to learn it for so long wahduhdwi Thank you for the help! I will now animate my own GUY.pdf
This is the funniest and most exciting tutorial I've ever watched. Thank you. Guy's voice though *ha ha ha ha ha ha*
Can we just talk about that top-notch voice acting! But all jokes aside Ive wanted to learn animation for a while and for someone to teach very simply so this is very helpful
I start my ani class tomorrow @ uni online and this is so helpful, I'll be sharing with my peers.
"the only problem is, that it sucks" this explains my entire experience with animation so far because i am LOST
Definitely the best tutorial out there, thank you
I'm so glad Ross made this video! This is very helpful
Best tutorial ever seen, definitely recommend it
thank you so much, I've been looking for something like this for months and now I understand better this program, like and sub
I wish I could have had an easy to follow guide like this 12 years ago when I had to use flash to animate logos and websites during my graphic design degree.
This the best video that I've seen. Thank you!
This helped me, thank you. Keep up the videos and tutorials. Liked and Subscribed. =)
im desperately watching this 24 hours before my animation multimedia major work due date HAHAH i love you ross you gonna save me
After I get my MBA I'm doing this. Thanks for the tutorial, you're such a cool dude, Ross !
You are amazing for this. A great tutorial AND a buttery voice? Bam bam pow.
This is dope, looking forward to the follow up vid
thanks for this video man! I'm actually learning how to animate and I'm still an amature so this helps how ALOT!
That was very informative! Thank you so much for making this!!
love you for teaching this, Ross.
I had the unfortunate luck of having an animation teacher who somehow taught us like every other adobe program... other than Animate....
