When I first started animating in firealpaca I literally used to put everything on one layer, you have no idea how DUMBFOUNDED I WAS WHEN I DISCOVERED THE FOLDERS
“If you’re crazy you can do 60 fra- ERUERUERUERUERUERUERUERU- 60 frames per second- sorry here, 60 frames per second. So that’s bluntly how you animate.” - Bellasaurus, 2021 at 2:30 (I swear, if this becomes a meme-)
IF you don't want to create all the folders because you're LAZY and turn on the onion skin and stuff you can go to the "animation" tab when creating the project in FireAlpaca. I had no idea that you could do it the way that Bella told us, I always do it like this!
Okay this feels really weird to say but, a lot of your videos have a very nice meme feel to it, and it makes them feel more authentic??? Idk just something about it feels very inviting and genuine and this still sounds weird shiashdfuishbdfj
thank you SO MUCH i have always been confused how people would even animate with firealpaca but this helps! now I might actually animate something for once-
First video I found that actually explains a lot and doesn't drag the video out and I barely understand anything. Thank you for making your video simple!
You can also export all the layers/frames via onion skin mode to save them faster. Like, File > Export layers (Onion skin mode), save to whatever file you want then close out of the tab that asks if you wanna make it a GIF. It automatically saves everything to the folder you chose :3 Though saving manually can be helpful too in case you gotta tweak something while it's already in editing, cuz saving it via onion skin mode saves every frame as a separate file if that makes sense.. Both are good ways and it all depends on how you're comfortable using it UwU
you dont have to copy the background to every layer .w." you can put one image on the first frame that you wanna use as background and set it to always show in view
TYSM THIS HELPED SO MUCH THE ANIMATION PROGRAM TO ACTUALLY PUT THEM TOGETHER WOULDNT ALLOW ME TO DO MOST THINGS AND NOW BECAUSE I HAVE LIGHTWORKS I CANNNNNNNNNNNNNN TYSM TwT
Y'all don't have to save all layers manually, you can save the entire thing at once. Here's how (No GIF): 1. Go to File 2. Click on 'Export Layer's (Animated Mode) 3. Save it to the folder you should've made 4. You're done Here's how (GIF): 1. Go to File 2. Click on 'Export as Animated as Gif' 3. Save it to the folder you should've made 4. You're done Hope that helped :3
Amazing Ive had Lightworks for a while now and its just killed me spending hours trying to figure out how to use it lol fun fact where you create a new drawing in Firealpaca and the top there three little tabs that say “Drawing|Comic|Animation” when you click on animation you can choose how many frames you want and if theyre in folders or not :] Lol now the question is how do you upload to youtube? Jk jk :p I know how to do that
Bella you have no idea how helpful this is to me. Like- i have been making tiny clips of animation with this crappy tablet app, thank you so very much. okay- I hope you have a good day- bye-
hii, if your still using firealpaca for animation, you can export all of the layers into the folder at once with the export layers (onion skin mode) hope this helps :')
OMG this was genualy so helpful!!, iv watched a lot of people try to show and talk trying to teach people how to animate. But it was all was very over whelming even for fire Alpcah, so thank you so much for helping me understand!! also id love to see a tutorial on the editing software!.
it's my first time using this program so i am so thankful for this video tutorial. Thank you!! P.S. I freaking love your explanations!!! I think you're silly and interesting
@Bellasaurus a much more efficient way of exporting your frames is going to file --> Export as Animated GIF. You don't need to use AlpacaDouga to make it INTO a gif, but it quickly exports the frames.
Thank you for the tutorial Bella! Very clean and easy to follow, I’ve been trying out Procreate for animation, but there isn’t support like lightworks or audio and other benefits. I might try out this method!
Thanks so much. I had recently downloaded Firealpaca because of you and I needed an animating software. I looked up *How to use firealpaca 2021* and this popped up Me: Sees it's by bella Me: Ooh la la
Hi Bellasaurus, I was just wondering if you ever end up doing a Lightworks tutorial for animation (learning how to zoom in and out, make characters do the PMV movements etc). All good if that kind of video is not going to end up happening but I thought I’d ask since a lot of the tutorials I see are super outdated with Lightworks and I wanted to start trying out animation!
This is really helpful, I am working on animating and have been looking everywhere for good animating software! also, do you use a drawing tablet or just your mouse or something else?
I have been looking for art programs that can count as animation programs. Krita is really hard to use as an animation\art program as you can't export layers. Thank you for sharing this video.
Quite funny how i used on my pfp (not this one) over 30 layers (20 were sketches) and spent 9hours now imagine an animation Being animator is hell you ankmators who produce like 10minute (24fps) animation in 6 weeks you have my fucking respect
Thanks for the link I’ll use this tomorrow! I’ll maybe switch to this but if you are Mobile, use ibisPaint and FlipaClip they are simple and yet are amazing! And I might use light works to edit my gaming vids
Because it's not actually put together yet! In my method, FireAlpaca is just having the frames in order in one place, but moving them to LightWorks actually puts them in the correct way you want idk if that made sense
All I do with fire alpaca is draw pictures of my very very very weird oc emberstar crying because I killed off stripepelt her best friend. XD (their warrior cats ocs)

I know this was two years ago but oh my god same. Like literally my jaw dropped. I had no idea you could do that 😭
Fun Fact: I literally use FireAlpaca for literally all my animations and drawings.
Literally
@@Lolneytaubia Yes literally.
is there a way to keep it from slwoly killing your computer? I get like 10 frames in and everything slows so badly
The title looks like you’re just screaming at us like you’re fed up with us asking *“How do you animate with firealpaca?”*
XDDDD
Bellasaurus always screams at us :P plus someone already made a video on how to animate with firealpaca before this one.
anyone does that
Funfact: rarely, the people who are first actually WATCH the video.
Great tutorial! I might consider using it on my PC!
I always do XD
I would use it on MacBook if i could actually draw on computer but my dad has this pad thing I’m going to try can someone tell me how it works
@@StarLupus a drawing tablet?
@@DaSilverBackz i think?
Like I’m supposed to use a special pen to draw on computer with the pad

Beautiful. The part where he dances is just.... ✨👹 *ÆUgÉ* 👹✨
Cool! I’m hoping in the future I’ll be a popular WoF,warrior cats, etc animator. You are really good! And helpful
Subbed to start u off-I’ve been working on animations myself, but I’m far from famous lol
Same lol
Anything’s possible
Sometimes, foreshadowing is obvious
Good luck!
Bella I think that's the best animation you've ever done. I'm crying it's so beautiful.

The thumbnail is just...
*Chef’s kiss.*
Is it bad that I want the example animation to be posted as a separate video- it's really cute-
lil dino dude just be vibin

60 fps is me when someone says “icecream”
Lol same
“When my mum calls me for my favorite dish/desert”
Lol i didnt know how crazy animation was on computer, the max on flipaclip on my ipad is 30 frames per a second(fps)
saaaaame
Lol on FlipaClip the max is 30 lol
@@StarLupus WAIT LOL WE USE THE SAME APP
Well this is really useful.
I didn't even know about the folder tool.
folder tool?
@@scribblecloud the folder thing, bella talked about it through the whole video-
Folders are super useful imo
thank you SO MUCH
i have always been confused how people would even animate with firealpaca but this helps!
now I might actually animate something for once-
literally all my creators i look up to (like you) use firealpaca for animation, so i decided to use this instead of something else. thank you!
It actually is good cause of the drawing capabilities for hand drawn animation like what I make all my music videos on.
First video I found that actually explains a lot and doesn't drag the video out and I barely understand anything. Thank you for making your video simple!
Why did I click so quickly, I’m never going to animate.
lol same
Just keep practicing!
You can also export all the layers/frames via onion skin mode to save them faster. Like, File > Export layers (Onion skin mode), save to whatever file you want then close out of the tab that asks if you wanna make it a GIF. It automatically saves everything to the folder you chose :3

you dont have to copy the background to every layer .w." you can put one image on the first frame that you wanna use as background and set it to always show in view
TYSM THIS HELPED SO MUCH THE ANIMATION PROGRAM TO ACTUALLY PUT THEM TOGETHER WOULDNT ALLOW ME TO DO MOST THINGS AND NOW BECAUSE I HAVE LIGHTWORKS I CANNNNNNNNNNNNNN TYSM TwT
this is the best animating tutorial I've seen, everything else is super confusing or just how to draw a line on a diffrent frame, thanks!
The animation technique that you used helped me a lot!!! Thanks Bella!!
wait a dang minute, you can ANIMATE with Firealpaca?! This is news to me! I have to try this out, great video Bella! :)
I can hear your birds going ape in the background, I love them omg
Y'all don't have to save all layers manually, you can save the entire thing at once.
Here's how (No GIF):
1. Go to File
2. Click on 'Export Layer's (Animated Mode)
3. Save it to the folder you should've made
4. You're done
Here's how (GIF):
1. Go to File
2. Click on 'Export as Animated as Gif'
3. Save it to the folder you should've made
4. You're done
Hope that helped :3

Jk jk :p I know how to do that
My bad it says Standard not Drawing-
I'm not done the video yet, but so far its amazing and covers a lot so far! :D
the fact you go through all this pain but your animations look so amazing I-
That animation made me laugh more than it probably should have.
this is really really useful!! your personality is so fun + you explain things well, which it makes it super easy to not get distracted
Thanks for that. I really was hoping to figure out a way to do so myself on there. This definitely helps!
THE END IS THE BEST
"All dreams have a meaning!"
My dreams: 9:28
this is really helpful! short and sweet, doesn't waste your time, and actually makes sense
THANK YOU
I have firealpaca and I really wanted to learn how to make animations in it. Your video is nice! Thanks for this!
Wow I haven't seen a Bella video in ages.
I need to learn how to actually draw first, but I'm saving this video for later.
this is the best tutorial i've ever seen
Bella you have no idea how helpful this is to me. Like- i have been making tiny clips of animation with this crappy tablet app, thank you so very much.
okay- I hope you have a good day- bye-
I know how to animate but I just like watching other people do it!!!
hii, if your still using firealpaca for animation, you can export all of the layers into the folder at once with the export layers (onion skin mode) hope this helps :')
Cool! I needed to learn how to do this anyway!
THAT'S AMAZING i wondered if i would be able to animate using Firealpaca and your tutorial really is the best !
OMG this was genualy so helpful!!, iv watched a lot of people try to show and talk trying to teach people how to animate. But it was all was very over whelming even for fire Alpcah, so thank you so much for helping me understand!! also id love to see a tutorial on the editing software!.
cries in looking back here to figure out how to turn on onion skin mode only to realize the button to turn of onion skin mode is friggen gone-
Thx for showing us! This is helpful!
it's my first time using this program so i am so thankful for this video tutorial. Thank you!!
P.S. I freaking love your explanations!!! I think you're silly and interesting
8:41 beautiful sound affects in the background!
This is a lifesaver
None of you are first.
*Bella is first*
My god how have we not thought of this
FINALLY AN EASIER WAY TO MAKE MY ANIMATIONS THANK YOU!
Omg I can finally make an animation meme or animate with audio-
IM SO EXCITED TO START ANIMATING AAAAAAAAAAAA
@Bellasaurus a much more efficient way of exporting your frames is going to file --> Export as Animated GIF. You don't need to use AlpacaDouga to make it INTO a gif, but it quickly exports the frames.
I NEEDED THIS VIDEO, thank you
5:36 I bursted out laughing. And yes he's having a *GREAAAAAT TIME*
* Doom theme intensifies *
5:35 "Heres are thing--- oh my goodness gracious!!! Okay yup! he's having a great time"
I wish there was an update to be accompanied with an mp3 file
Just export them as frames into a new folder, then put them all into your editing software and time them.
I needed this so so much thank you so much, hopefully now I can figure out how to properly animate :)
Thank you for the tutorial Bella! Very clean and easy to follow, I’ve been trying out Procreate for animation, but there isn’t support like lightworks or audio and other benefits. I might try out this method!

For some reason that Dino dancing with the coconut mall song made me laugh
I have been looking for art programs that can count as animation programs. Krita is really hard to use as an animation\art program as you can't export layers. Thank you for sharing this video.

60 FPS
Perfect
Quite funny how i used on my pfp (not this one) over 30 layers (20 were sketches) and spent 9hours now imagine an animation
Being animator is hell you ankmators who produce like 10minute (24fps) animation in 6 weeks you have my fucking respect
This is so helpful - thank you! 💖💖
I'd use capcut or filmora, but thank you so much! I want to start animating and this helped me a lot
This thumbnail is so cool
YASSSS FINALLY
HEY! an actually helpful video! You're amazing, thank you!
What about the animation button you can do that too?
Thank you so much this is gonna help me a lot!!
I will use this to make a water bottle animation. Yes.
Wow thanks for the tutorial, this is really really helpful!
Thanks for the link I’ll use this tomorrow!
I’ll maybe switch to this but if you are Mobile, use ibisPaint and FlipaClip they are simple and yet are amazing!
And I might use light works to edit my gaming vids
6:08 you can actually press Export Layers (Onion Skin Mode) if im correct, that way you dont have to export every frame separately )))
Nice video on how to animate on this platform,very nice.
Also I wish you a good day
I found that it’s easier to just export the animation as a gif, then convert the gif to mp4 through cloudconvert or some other file type converter.
AHAHA YES ANOTHER FIREALPACA ANIMATORRRRR (i dont have any psoted but i mean) YASSSSS
Time to try and animate since I already have Lightworks
Thanks for the tutorial tho
you can also export ur files as a gif then record the gif with OBS or whatever
Im so glad because im getting firealpaca and I cant find a good explanation XD
Yay!
60 FPS is for the truly patient and INSANE
Wait- i might just be dumb, but- why do you have to edit the frame things together on Likeworks when there’s already the animation made on FireAplaca?
Because it's not actually put together yet! In my method, FireAlpaca is just having the frames in order in one place, but moving them to LightWorks actually puts them in the correct way you want idk if that made sense
@@Bellasaurus ooooooh. Thanks! Lol
@@Bellasaurus i was like “but- it’s- *huh* “
I see you in the arena bela
I didnt really know you could animate fire alpaca its just kinda there-
It made me laugh even now
Reminder!
The new way to onion skin is clicking animation at the top panel thing, and clicking animation mode
Watching this when it's 1 minute old.
i dont have onion skin mode
I animate on kleki (also not an animation program just a drawing program :P) and this will help me do frame-by-frame animations thanks!
Bella artttttt
i will be watching this video multiple time
All I do with fire alpaca is draw pictures of my very very very weird oc emberstar crying because I killed off stripepelt her best friend. XD (their warrior cats ocs)
Noooooo Emberstar you poor bean
Emberstar says its ok :)
Would that work with things like Adobe premeire? (That is what my dad uses for work. im not spoiled)
idk i mean if you can put images in it then yeah??
