I only ever use Shape Tweens for water and other fluids because of how uncontrollable they can become. I didn't even know Shape Hints were a thing. That's awesome! Thanks for making this video :)
I thought shape tweens are only for morphing objects. After I've watched this video, I wanted to add the shape hints into the shape tweens which feels like I was auto-inbetweening in Animate CC. Thank you so much, Alan Becker! :3
Yeeter Games Roblox, GMOD, and more! I always have almost no sleep, i hate to sleep, and somehow i always wake up for school OwO *I need help, don't i?*
I work with flash since more than 14 years, first time to know this feature, and it works with me even with Flash8, i am now able to do multiple shape tween within the same layer, which is very optimized and easier for me, thank you so much for sharing this :) ,.
This is incredible... I've been watching Alan Becker since I was 4 years old and I'm just learning to animate (I'm 10 years old) 6 years... watching Alan Becker I'm just here to say that Alan Becker shaped my childhood and my life
If anyone else here plays slither.io have you noticed that the intro thing ( when the words apear) kind of looks like a broken shape tween like when they go wrong or bits lump out
I use shape tweens a lot, despite the time it takes. If I’m not able to use them reliably at a point of time, I will smear the action. I also use them for lip sync.
Late comment, but the best ways to handle a shape tween is if the two shapes in question have similar amounts or even the same amount of points. It'll be easier for the program to know what goes where. Another thing you can do with shape tweens is colour/gradient changes. Because the shape itself isn't changing and only the colour is. Just don't do a shape tween of an object with two seperated colours.
2:02 there actually is a flash extension called keyframe caddy which makes it so you don't have to manually switch the frame a symbol's on. It shows all the frames in the symbol and you click on the frame you want to use. Ive found its very helpful. creative.adobe.com/addons/products/569#.VzDp79UrLnA
I really like your video! Thanks for explaining! But why don't you draw the keyframes by hand seperately when it takes so long to get the shapetween right? Wouldn't be drawing the frames individually easier especially when it's a simple form like a stickfigure limb?
I NEVER knew about tween hints. That would've made life so much easier way back when. Do you have any thoughts on the re-branding of Flash software as Adobe Animate?
I think slow-mo shape tweens are better than slow-mo seperate pieces because: The problem with your ending of A VS MC Is that it looks like after each frame another is added. And slow it down you can see that cheesy effect. Unlike the shape tweens, with enough hints, can create some cool slow-mo that looks flawless. This is my opinion only, don't go modern simpleton on me.
Ow, come on! You cant spell Hi wrong! Here, lemme help, if you misspell it as "Hai", it can be seen as a friendly goofy hi, if you misspell it as "Ri", then we have a problem, but it's impossible to miss a freaking hi! ;-;

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
lel
this channel has the most wholesome comment sections
Thank you for being specific in what features I use for animate
Thank you so much It really helps a lot
Thanks Alan!
Glad these tutorials are back :D
If you're doing this on Flash 8, you need to use the property tab's Tween setting, click on it, and click "Shape".
-Leader
And the Shape hints?
As well as Flash 5 and the MX editions
I am now starting to become amazing at animating because off you ( my family is proud and my friends ) Thank you soooooooooo much

Why shape tweening can be good:
It can be *consequential enough to slip you into a trance*

ikr
Nobody cares
I love your tutorials
object show animators LOVE using shape tweens
I take advantage of the shape tweens glitch whenever I want a certain Polymorphing-like effect
I use it for growth shape shifting or something extending
or a joke about you being too lazy to animate a transformation lol
@@AymenZero yes like bfb lol
thank you for teaching me about shape tween. i can make angel wings now.
You are amazing!
Alan, you're the best!

"Shape Tweening is unreliable"
The average Object Show animator: 😁😁😁
as someone who uses shape tweens all the time i can relate
I like this music at end of yours videos
Photoshop tutorials?! Awesome!
TANK YOU ALAN :D!!!!!
By the way you can shape tween in the Macromedia versions by making a motion tween, going to properties and changing the tween from motion to shape.
Hey, bro! We are from Brazil and We love you
I just have to say, I'm glad he named this channel alanbeckertutorials or else people would mix him up with alantutorial
Photoshop tutorials would be amazing. Keep up the good work :)
Thank You
:)

I agree with Alan. Shape tweens are a mighty beast
are a total disaster I meant
OMG THX
In the future when u do photoshop tutorials
Uh who wouldn't sub to this channel it's amazing :D

Tks👍👍
Looking forward to the pohotoshop tutorials, I tend to animate in Photoshop so any hints would be useful.

tnx nice job
PS video would be great and love your work bro ;)
I must admit it's helpful
I love you so much

I didn't know about this :0
OK, now I understand Shape Tweens!
Make a pokemon animation And YOU ARE THE BEST ANIMATOR EVER i love ur animations
wow thanks
I really like your video! Thanks for explaining! But why don't you draw the keyframes by hand seperately when it takes so long to get the shapetween right? Wouldn't be drawing the frames individually easier especially when it's a simple form like a stickfigure limb?
+Black Nekoko When he uses the shape tween, he only needs to draw on something like 2 frames.
jithin presannan yes, I noticed that. But doesn't it take much longer to adjust the tween than just drawing it?
Black Nekoko
I think it depends upon other people's difficulties. But for the 'limb', I think frame by frame would be better.
SHAPE TWEENS
*YAAAAY*
_-NOTICE ME SENPAI-_
good job man still with the tutorials :D
This meme is dead
What would you rather use macromedia or adobe
Thx
I want to see all AVA with one layer at a time
I NEVER knew about tween hints. That would've made life so much easier way back when. Do you have any thoughts on the re-branding of Flash software as Adobe Animate?
wow 2016.i waited
Are you gong to do motion tweens?
YES PHOTOSHOP!
6 months since the last vid but alan acts like its been 1 week
lisson if you wanna use flash,just use anime studio instead
I think slow-mo shape tweens are better than slow-mo seperate pieces because:

PLEASE do Motion Tweens!
Neat.
Me at night every single time: *lol ¡ can't sleep*
I like the shape tween the best it looks cool
and glitchy as shit
Helpful! only one thing, where de you get the sound effects for your animations?
Thank you!!
¿Podrías ser tan amable de poner subtítulos en español? Gracias!
I have a shape tween but it not available can you tell me why?? T.T is it because it is AS2???
Thanks for helping me Alan becker like 😁 !!!!
Can you do Motion tweens? Because then weve got a full circle.
i wanna see animation vs. ANIMATOIN, animation vs. real life and animation vs. flappy bird
Ohhh yeah, thats the way some people are making smooth mouth animations....
Nice
And my favorite part
Hi! (sorry for bad english)
What the...are you kidding me right now?
Ow, come on! You cant spell Hi wrong!
Here, lemme help, if you misspell it as "Hai", it can be seen as a friendly goofy hi, if you misspell it as "Ri", then we have a problem, but it's impossible to miss a freaking hi! ;-;
Nobody here got the joke.
@everyone
r/ *whoooosh*
@@Pan-lv7vv I got it so not really a woosh for me.
So, you're going to do a Photoshop Tutorial next?
I tried forever to make the shape tween in the intro and I did it with 8 hints :(
