Versions of Studio Artist prior to v4 had various keyframe options in the layer timeline. These included bezier, source, and content keyframes. Version 4 integrates the old layer timeline into the PASeq timeline. The old layer keyframe functionality is now accessible by using the new v4 Context action steps recorded in a PASeq. This tip…
Sequential Keyframe Recording is a feature available when working with Paint Action Sequences (PASeq) to generate hand painted animations or movies. Sequential Keyframe Recording can be used to help automate some of the repetitive and tedious issues associated with building up interpolated keyframe animation from a series of hand drawn sketches or paintings. This tip…
This tip will discuss how to create a morph animation from a series of still images. Older versions of Studio Artist used the old Timeline Animation op mode functionality to generate morphs. Morphs are now created single Morph Context in a Paint Action Sequence. How to generate a morph To start off, open the Paint…
This tip discusses how to automate the generation of encapsulated bezier paint animation. This is done by constructing a PASeq that generates the desired bezier paths. This PASeq is then automatically run multiple times for a series of recored source context keyframes to generate a bezier context. The bezier context is then automatically converted into…
This tip discusses how to create a keyframed paint animation from a series of freely sketched pencil sketches. Each sketch can have an arbitrary number of pencil strokes. Each sketch is encapsulated into a single paint action step recorded in a Paint Action Sequence (PASeq). The final animation is generated by animating the keyframed single…
