Something that tripped me up... For the onion skin "light bulb" icon to appear (and therefore, be available), 1) there has to be at least one drawing on a frame, and 2) you have to click on another frame on the timeline. You can see this happen starting at 2:40. Start playing the video there and keep an eye on the layer rows.
@@choknater how do you delete extra frame if you realize that, the duration is too long from for the ball to reach the ground? Also how to do you add frames in between for the vice versa case. Is there a quick way, or those drag frames is the only way?
@@PramodShetty hi, so there aren't any default buttons to do that, but there ARE shortcuts in the settings that you can set. if you go to settings -> configure krita -> keyboard shortcuts, and then search for "insert" you'll find that you can set shortcuts for Insert Keyframe Left/Right, Insert Hold Frame, and Insert Multiple Keyframes or Hold Frames. those shortcuts should help you do that you're thinking, i'm pretty sure. hold frames are simply blank frames
THANK YOU, holy crap. It's kind of crazy how many "tutorials" I had to watch before I found one that actually explains everything! It's like the other tutorial creators just automatically expect you to already understand what the onion skins are, and the differences between frames, keyframes, and layers, etc. I was super confused trying to learn Krita's animation studio on my own for a couple days until TH-cam finally recommended me your tutorial. Oh, and the other artists are usually showing off with some overly complex animation that made me feel more confused and overwhelmed, but you used the bouncing ball which was just a fantastic beginner example. I'm on my husband's account right now, but in a few months my first video will be up on my channel (The Wooden Bean) and if you ever happen to see it, my OP and ED animations will be partly thanks to your easy-to-understand tutorial. :) Thanks again.
BAHH THANK YOUUU I've been trying to use the "animation template" to animate, and I had no idea how it worked- This saved me a whole lotta time, THANK YOUU
This is so good to watch on one screen and follow along with Krita open on a second screen. A second screen can be really cheap to pick up. I'm encouraged to work through all your videos even though I have no, absolutely no, artistic ability. Thanks.
so far, this has been very easy to follow along!! it's usually so hard for me to watch tutorials that try to explain how animation works on krita but they just always end up losing me haha i tried to animate on there a while back but since i didnt know anything, i ended up not doing something properly and somehow lost my progress... woops! but i hope to try this out again after going over your tutorials, so thank you!!
This was a really helpful video, and I also wanted to say your art looks fantastic! I have a little animation experience from working in Flash years ago, but nothing too elaborate. I just recently discovered Krita after being a Photoshop user for many years, and your video has been the best I've seen yet on animation in Krita. Thank you!
You just helped me so much! I watched other tutorials for this and they couldn't help me. Your tutorial is so easy to understand. You kept me from giving up. Thank you!
Thank you SO MUCH FOR THIS, I have been trying to figure out how to use animation on Krita, for the longest time. I watched so many videos but none of them made sense. Except for this one. Thank you thank you thank you! 💖 :)
im a rapper from india and i wanted to learn how basic animation works so i can do some stuff for my songs and none of the videos on youtube were helping, tha you for being so super easy xD
mine was worse but still an animation, because about a year ago I started wondering how to animate as I was just getting into anime and thinking its cool but I still need to work on a lot of stuff like trasing lines but in some time it will definetely work out so ty very much and this helps a lot! including how this man is an amazing animator. but cudos to you!!
Thank you so much for uploading this tutorial! I've been wanting to do animation for a really long time now and this video helps so much! Keep making great content! :)
omg this is the perfect tutorial I've been looking for. other people be describing functions of buttons but they don't really demonstrate how adding a layer and making things move work. thanks! oh and btw. is there a limit for frames? coz mine only has 99 blank frames to the max
hi! glad i could help. there isn't a limit as far as i know. in the animation docker, you can set Start and End frames, and you can just set the end frames to higher number. krita is not really made for very long animations, i have tried to make animations with 2000+ frames before but it became very laggy haha
Your videos were so helpful for my first few animations!! Now I'd really like to save time by utilizing shortcuts. Any time I try to input a shortcut I get an error message saying it is ambiguous and it asks if I want to assign an empty shortcut. Did that happen to you when you set yours up? I'm afraid to mess up some setting I don't know about...
hi! i just checked it out, i see what's happening. when you get that message, it means there is already another command with that existing shortcut, and at the bottom of the message it tells you what shortcut that is. so it's a good warning, especially if you don't want to change the default settings. a good thing i that krita allows you to search for that command and reassign the shortcut if needed since it's totally customizable, be sure to explore what the existing shortcut does, and if you don't need it, feel free to replace it by selecting 'reassign.'
very nice, strong, and a flexible animation software, but what if compared with Synfig open source software, which one do you think is more useful and powerful in creating 2D animations?
@@choknater ok, I could guess from now that Krita is much more powerful in painting and it depends very much on the very old methods to creating carton movies through flip pages... Have a nice day!
Am I the only one who can't find the workspace changer? It's just not there on my screen and I can't figure out where it is. I tried resetting Krita, but it didn't work
this is a good question. normally i just turn on the alpha lock and color in all the line art frames manually, but i feel like there should be a way to do them all at once. i can possibly try merging the layer with the mask, something like that has worked for me before. i will reply black with a clear answer when i find it i have another tutorial on how to use the alpha lock in krita, it's very easy
file -> render animation there is a process to complete with a file called "ffmpeg" though, you can find it in krita's official tutorial documentation here: docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/render_animation.html
Make sure that the background layers are using hold frames, it should look like a blue line through the time line. Usually if you create a key frame with no active frames after it, it should be hold frames by default. Let me know if your issue continues
you have to make sure both onion skin settings are on: the onion button near the bottom left, by the animation timeline, and also the light bulb right next to the layer
somehow i cant make animations because if i draw a frame it carries on to the next and i cant animate at all and I think it is because of my drawing pad can you help with my problem pls Andre oh and btw the tutorial helped a bit
you need to add a new blank frame or duplicate frame. it's on the animation docker. if you simply try to draw in a next frame without creating a new key frame, krita will think you're just trying to change the old one
yes there is a button in the animation docker called "Add Duplicate Frame." it creates a copy of whichever key frame comes before it. you can also set a shortcut for it. very useful
@@choknater how do you make short cuts?, ive searched the internet and all it says is "seetings- configurate krita" but that dosnt show up for me. is there another way? i have a mac btw.
Is there a way to just have it be a new frame every time? That is a lot of clicking, and animation already takes up a lot of time. I mean in pencil 2d and photoshop all u have to do is press a hotkey and it goes to the next frame and makes it new.
I see the hotkeys. Cool. But still, is there no way to make each frame new? I'm new to this, so I prolly sound dumb. I am, lol, but just trying to figure it out.
@@leonadrian7257 hi. in later versions, sometimes if you navigate to a hold frame (hold frames are indicated by a blue line) and start drawing on it, it will become a new frame hotkeys for frame navigation (next frame, next key frame, previous, etc) are very important and keep the process pretty fast for me. still though, if you find another program faster, i'd stay stick with what you like
Hey! I'm hoping you could have some advice for a few issues I keep running into cause I'm losing my mind lol. I keep having issues where layers get moved from their appropriate frame and into previous frames. I don't know if this is a glitch or what but I can't find a way to move the layers back to their original frame (I've even tried creating a second version of the frame they're on, deleting any other layers on it, and re-moving the new frame to where the layer should have been JUST so I could onion-skin it back into its original spot, but the program won't let me either copy/paste the drawing from the layer OR move the new frame I create). My new layers also keep showing retrospectively and progressively instead of just progressively until a new frame like they should. >
i think i know what you're talking about. i believe i've run into those issues before too, and i may do another guide on it in the future. when you have a new layer with a frame and you want to merge it with another layer, make sure you have a blank frame on the first frame, which should be frame 0. for some reason, if you don't have this blank frame, krita will merge the single frame retrospectively all the way to the beginning because it reads it as the "first" frame of that layer. if you have a blank frame as the "first" frame, it shouldn't show up when you merge. let me know if that helps. navigate frames back and forth with shortcuts after you merge to make sure it's right.
yes i would say the best way to do this is to isolate the character's lines and colors in their own layers, and then save those as PNG images with a transparent background. that way it'd be easy to copy and reuse them for later projects
@@lb1839 i actually don't do a lot of talking/mouth animation actually, but if you're going to reuse it as an asset in future use then yes i would still save as png's. usually i only use a mouth animation in one file, so i just copy and paste it over and over
the character design took a long time. but as for the actual animation of her jump, i would say it took a day or two for the movement and then another day or two for color. it was done a long time ago, i can probably cut the time in half now if i tried again
@@choknater it was my first day today, i made a bouncy ball lol ... i'm using a mouse which makes it much harder to get perfect lines and shapes but hey, i'm giving it a go!
I'm having some issues with the stroke of my brushes, they aren't smooth at all and I can't even draw a simple ball without it looking horrendous or the brush just stops or freezes, so I can't even draw the images I want, especially small details like a neck on a figure, plz help !!!!
I have made a series of drawings on separate layers (not via the timeline frames). I thought I could just insert them on timeline by dragging and dropping after doing the drawings, but it doesn't seem to work. Any way I can fix this? I read something about pinning to timeline? (if that's what to do) But not sure where that is.
ah yes, usually new drawings on different layers are still drawn on whatever frame is selected. in way, layers are organized 'vertically' while frames are organized 'horizontally,' and this is visually apparent on krita. check out this document on pinning layers: docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/dockers/timeline.html#:~:text=Alternatively%2C%20you%20can%20open%20the,%3E%20General%20%E2%80%93%3E%20Miscellaneous%20dialog. i will personally experiment with pinning layers and moving some frames around so i can make a video on moving frames in the future. thanks for the question, i'll see if i can figure it out
Heyyo, can you tell me how we're supposed to keep the background constant and animate other elements? Like, do we just add another layer beneath all the layers, keep it that way and when we want to change the background, we just add a new frame? I'm kinda confused. Great video tho ✌

you're welcome :)
Do i need to draw in Krita? Or can i draw in Paint tool sai, and maybe transfer my drawings over to Krita? :)
you can transfer them as long as you preserve the transparency you want. use png files
Thx bro, u are the man! :)
@@antondahl1759 no prob!
how long did it take you to create the character and jumping frames?
the character design took a long time. but as for the actual animation of her jump, i would say it took a day or two for the movement and then another day or two for color. it was done a long time ago, i can probably cut the time in half now if i tried again
@@choknater a whole day for movement? I guess i'm underestimating the work that goes into animation... I'll start with stickmen and work my way up 🤣
@@lb1839 yeah that's a good idea haha. yeah animating frame by frame takes a long time, i also started with stick men
@@choknater it was my first day today, i made a bouncy ball lol ... i'm using a mouse which makes it much harder to get perfect lines and shapes but hey, i'm giving it a go!
I'm having some issues with the stroke of my brushes, they aren't smooth at all and I can't even draw a simple ball without it looking horrendous or the brush just stops or freezes, so I can't even draw the images I want, especially small details like a neck on a figure, plz help !!!!
ah ok. do you have a working tablet? do you think it could be a lag issue with the brush reezing?
Thank you so much I subbed now
thank you!!
THANKS MY GUY THIS REALLY HELP MEEEE!!!!
no problem!!
ohhhhh boy here i go
good luck!
I have made a series of drawings on separate layers (not via the timeline frames). I thought I could just insert them on timeline by dragging and dropping after doing the drawings, but it doesn't seem to work. Any way I can fix this? I read something about pinning to timeline? (if that's what to do) But not sure where that is.
ah yes, usually new drawings on different layers are still drawn on whatever frame is selected. in way, layers are organized 'vertically' while frames are organized 'horizontally,' and this is visually apparent on krita. check out this document on pinning layers:
docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/dockers/timeline.html#:~:text=Alternatively%2C%20you%20can%20open%20the,%3E%20General%20%E2%80%93%3E%20Miscellaneous%20dialog.
i will personally experiment with pinning layers and moving some frames around so i can make a video on moving frames in the future. thanks for the question, i'll see if i can figure it out
Heyyo, can you tell me how we're supposed to keep the background constant and animate other elements? Like, do we just add another layer beneath all the layers, keep it that way and when we want to change the background, we just add a new frame? I'm kinda confused.
Great video tho ✌
that's correct. as long as the background is in a different lower layer and it only has one keyframe, it should be constant
@@choknater thank you so much! :)
