- Here's a couple of cool tips and tricks when using the Bone tool in Animate CC!
I have more videos that ship with Animate CC if you look in the Start Screen. There are example files along the bottom and also video tutorials if you click the Learn More button in the upper left corner of the Start Screen.

Never been so grateful about finding such tutorial
Really good video, after searching a lot, finally found a video that helps me!
Thanks. I just started my animation recently and I learn a lot now. I'll be using this tool now.
You have saved my animation project.... THANK YOU SO MUCH!
your precise explanation helps me a lot! thanks!
Thank you for making for this video! You very clearly and succinctly explained how to use the bone tool. I learned a lot! Well done.
My pleasure! Glad it helped you :)
Very helpfull, thanks! I was struggling with bones.
Awesome video Chris...really loved that.
Thank you!
Nice short and strait to the point! Keep creating these videos
Thank you! About to record a few for Adobe that will ship with AnCC - I will post here and also on the YT Adobe Animate CC channel. Thanks!!!
This was very useful, thanks! Just what I was looking for!
great tutorial . really great
Thank you 🤩😁
thanks, very clear guide
Such a helpful video, thank you!
Great tutorial! Thanks man!
great vid! THANKS for making it
Thank you so muc, it's really clear and useful!
Great tutorial!
Finally someone explained why the bones behave so strangely
Thank you for the information! Nice Video
Thanks so much for this!!!
You're so welcome!
You teach very well 😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 I would love to learn more from you.🙏
very very helpful
Great tutorial. You do a good job of explaining what's going on and making every step clear. The only suggestion I would make is turn off the music. You don't need it, and it is monotonous to the point of being distracting.
Thanks! And yeah - advice taken. I have since stopped the music :)
I thought learning to use Animate would be hard, tutorials like these make it easier!

i love it
Thanks!
Thanks so much
wonderful
great tutorial, really man, you are confident and knowledgeable on what you are talking about. so....I have a question. on my channel i do a lot of backing up trailers with a semi truck. What I am trying to do is do an animation where I drive a truck and trailer (top view). I'm pretty sure i use the bone tool to keep the trailer and truck connected. how do i make the trailer track the truck, remembering that the trailer does not go the same path as the truck.
Hi. Thank you. Glad you like it. I can picture what you are trying to animate. Give me a couple of days to find time to emulate what I think you are trying to do. Can you DM me through my website or facebook?
@@keyframer. sure thx for taking the time man.
good video bro
Thank you! :)
(How appropriate that I would be like #666) Good tutorial. I decided to try to use the bone tool for some animations I'm making and this was concise and informative. Some questions, (that I'll be google searching answers to after I post this), would be things for more, "advanced" (?) animations? Adding lips syncing to your puppets or different instances of symbols.
Merci !
Thanks man This video really helped me
By the way is it possible to ease in and ease out the bone's movements at the same time? I tried to do that but I could apply only one of them for each movement
Thanks! For easing in/out between 2 keyframes, try selecting a frame between them, in Properties Panel use the TYPE drop-down in the Easing section and select "Stop and Start (Medium)" or choose fast/slow). The names of the easing presets can be not-so-obvious.
There's a sample FLA if you go to File > New and scroll along the bottom of the thumbnails - there's a skeleton rigged with Bones that I made that has these eases. Just click inside the spans and look at the Properties Panel to see what eases I used.
Thanks for your help 🙏 I'll check that sample too 👍
That's a great tutorial, since it shows the bone tool basics of an actual (!!) CC version. Thanks and go on (but pls mute this silly bg music ;-)))
Thank you! And yeah, losing the music seems to be a popular request. if YT allowed me to replace this video I would do so without the music :)
hey Chris, good video, quick questions, why is it that when I go to move one of my body parts or pivot point of a body part, I noticed that the positions of my other body parts at random will slight move...but i did not move it, for example im working on a pivot point for right forearm then when i look at my character's thigh i noticed it shifted to the right a bit and when I go to fix it i noticed another body part moved a bit???...i cant seem to figure out why please help!!!
Thanks Kosal. Your issue with symbols shifting slightly is likely dude to the how finicky the Bone tool is. It is a fact of life issue. I find the Bone tool to be really unpredictable most of the time unfortunately. Can you send me the FLA you are working on? chris.georgenes AT gmail DOT com
Thank you very much I just want to ask if I have a bone toll inserted into the line and I decided to delete the bone toll but if I delete it totally deletes also the line that I added.
Hmmmm I'm having trouble understanding - was the Bone tool used on line artwork?
@@keyframer. I mean, once I added the bone tool in the line (that I made using the line tool) and I made the line to fill (from stroke to fill) [cause if you did not make the line {meaning stroke} in to fill it won't work in bone tool. < THERE IS SOMETHING ⚠ SAYS THAT " IK BONE CANNOT BE APPLIED TO STROKE"> so I make the line {meaning stroke} to fill to add it a bone or "armature"
After that, I want to delete the armature in the line but once you delete the armature in the line the layer line will also be deleted. I don't want to control z and control z. so what will I do. And also please visit my channel and also subscribe.
@@minute-ai Subbed. As for your Bone issue - after you are finished animating your "line" (shape) using bones - you can right-click over the tween span and select "Convert to keyframe animation" - that will convert the tween to keyframes, remove the armature and all of the bones.
@@keyframer. OH THANK YOU VERY MUCH you're a nice man and you are helpful. thank you also for your sub.
pls make a part 2 pls
I have a question since i'm a total noob. If I wanted to change the root bone to something else, say if I added the rest of the skeleton body in. Is that possible or do all bones need redoing at that point?
Yes you can. Make sure the object you want to change the root bone to is already converted to a symbol. Next, select the existing root bone symbol on the stage. In properties, click the SWAP button, locate the symbol you want to change it to and click ok.
@@keyframer. thank you!
could you please send the link for the model please that would be really great and mAy god bless you and protect you
I have a question. I cant find out how to ease the animations with the bone tool sone one knows how to do it'
Sorry for the late reply. Click on the tween span ...and look in Properties Panel for easing
My problem is needing to crop images into AA. I draw character piece by piece on the ipad, save as photoshop, open in animate and now every piece has a huge invisible square selection around it ill call it air since it contains nothing, how do you crop?
That's transparency. Bitmaps will always have a bounding box. No way around that. But depending on your images, you may want to simply use the Trace Bitmap feature in Animate to convert them to vectors. Ultimately the bounding box won't be a major problem if it's cropped to the artwork. If it's cropped to the width and height of the document, then it can cause un-needed file size issues and large areas of unused transparency that can cause memory problems.
You could manually crop in Photoshop if you have that - or find a way to crop from the iPad app you are using.
@@keyframer. Ill give the vector thing a try, the transparency kind of links the wrong parts together I move a shoe then It moves the shoe and then the shirt for ex, even if I got the shoes, lower leg, and upper legs anchor points right, even when the bones only on the leg pieces.
Why i can't attach my bone line to another object.
pls answer:(((((
Where do I find the bone tool? My tool bar does not have it.
Click on the 3 dots at bottom of toolbar - from there a side panel opens allowing you to drag and drop tools to and from your current toolbar. You'll find the Bone tool there :)
I have a question, whyis it that I can't create a bone on my symbols? thank you
Tales of Fay it might be your document type. Create a new AS3 doc and try again.
thank you will try
So I tested several document types and Bones works for all. Your issue is elsewhere. Can you send me the FLA? chris.georgenes@gmail.com
I sent the e-mail Chris! Thank you for the helping hand :)
you can just make the circle transparent
Good tut. However the translate constraints are all broken. They simply go haywire as you move a symbol.
Hmmm did you work out why? Sorry for my late reply.
i click on my bone but it doesn't get highlighted in green and I don't see any joint rotation in properties
Make sure the layer is not locked and also make sure you are using the Selection Tool (V)
@@keyframer. it wasn't working in 2019 version , I installed 2020 and it worked
Can I use different angle of the same body in one armature ....what I want in the scene?...
Yes. In the body symbol make a new body at the angle you want in frame 2. Use onion skin to see the body in frame 1 so it's aligned and positioned the same way so it aligns with the other bones on the parent timeline. Then control the instance of this symbol by setting it to Single Frame and then set the frame number for the body you want (frame 1 or 2).
@@keyframer. sir can u put a video for this ...?plz I understand ....looping option -single frame p lz make a video bro
@@praveenraveen7523 okay. I will.
It only lets me drag to 2 bones and not all
How many bones total do you have?
Great tutorial, but why do so many tutorials feel the need to add background music? It brings nothing to the party and just serves as a distraction. Still a really good video though and thanks so much x
Thanks for the feedback. I have posted videos with no sound (music nor voice over) and got many asking me why no sound. They all thought it was in error. So adding music seems to eliminate that but I do see you point about it being a distraction. Must find a happy medium :)
@@keyframer. love the music :)
Man..., this tool doesn´t work at all , I do the same thing as U: I draw, 3 elements in the same layer, convert it in a graphic symbol, but when I chose the tool, BANG! always apears a fuckin forbiden sign that don´t link nothing!. I try solve this changing everything!: change the mode symbol, draw in separate layers, but nothing works!!! DAWM!!
Are they each 3 different symbols?
@@keyframer. No, all symbols are graphic symbol. But i also try with movie clip to the 3 parts: Up arm, low arm and hand.. :(
You need to have each object it's own symbol. If they are inside a singleobject then there's no point of a bone armature. Sorry if I misunderstand.
@@ronaldolara7853 Sounds like everything is working but if you can't select the Bone tool at all, then you might be in a document type that doesn't support that tool. Is this an HTML5 document? If so, convert it to ActionScript 3 and try again.
@@keyframer. I have been using ActionScript 3.
What is the correct format for more complex animations? for the web, of course.
Music off please!!!
Thanks!!!!
Thanks !!!!
