You are probably the first person who ever made a tutorial on shape tween that is past the stupid box to triangle tutorial. Thank you so much, oh and idk if it helps, but I have been testing shape-tween lately. One technique I used was if the shape wasn't forming as you'd think. I use lasso to cut it in half for both the first and second image then shape tween it.
Jazza, all of your videos are wonderful - you nailed Thor. Good changes coming, and I wish you every good and wholesome thing through this next busy while for you.
I wish you were there when i started,I would have learned so much faster and better with less trouble.Your doing a great job with this generation(Which i am a part of)
Thanks so much. Your tutorials make me feel confident! I love Illustrator, Photoshop, and Premiere. I feel very comfortable with those programs, but I was always a little scared of Adobe Flash. I feel like I can use Flash just fine if I follow your tuts :D
Another thing to note (after I spent an hour trying to figure out what I was doing wrong) is to make sure the "snap to objects" is turned on when moving the shape hint or else it won't register the points correctly. Hopefully this helps anyone who runs into the same problem I did...
well, i used shape tween to create a weird looking morphing animal stick-man, it looks weird, i also noticed, it can create so many vertices, it crashes!
Love your vids man. I'm a game dev who uses flash for all my asset creation. It's an amazing tool. Been animating for well over a decade with flash at this point and I still learn something from your vids. I was actually curious about the glove thing your wearing? Is it from an injury or something you wear to shop RSI, etc? I've thought about getting something like this myself.
+pixelfizz He's using a tablet, and his glove thing is a smudge guard. I think smudge guards give the hand a smoother motion when drawing, I'm not entirely sure.
I wish you finished the Larry of Karyon (or however you spell it) series, i know it was a shit load of work but, damn it was a good show lmao i loved it i thought it was great!
Just a general question. I have the shape/mortion tween file and I notice that you have a lot of nested layers. Is there a way to control how the nested layers are structure because if I separated my image in layers from Illustrator, and open it on the adobe animate , it will remain apart as layers but again how you nested layers into layers and into another set of layers?
funny thing, Opentoonz and Cacani now both can do automatic in-betweening between different drawings, I could expect adobe to integrate something similar in Animate CC someday
Draw with Jazza Hi! Thanks for sharing this excellent tut vid! Shape tween function could be so frustrating... -_-U But this is an example of, even with such 'ease' tools, you need to give extra effort in order to achieve cool results. Saved for the records! :) Have a nice day!
Not any negative opinion but Jazza you could really save a lot of time if you could also explore another animation software called "Anime Studio". I personally think Flash is good, complex, quite complicated, but the results are good. On the other hand, anime studio is easier to understand, might not end up giving you the quality you really want. So what I think you can do is to back and forth from flash to anime studio and you might make more awesome animation and yet saves time. Don't take it as that I am advertising them but I tried to explore different animation software and I saw the video on how to make character turn around and I think that was easier and quick. Then again I don't know neither of these software well. Just giving suggestion. !! :-)
hasnii chasnii i but you can't do much with it other than bone animation. Can't do frame by frame, can't do shape or classic or motion tweens, can't do symbols and much more. I paid 160 dollars for that program and was disappointed because of the lack of options.
I think Flash is perfectly fine for these things. Toon Boom Harmony also work by using deformation setups. However, I don't think Anime Studio is the way to go with this type of animation.
Enoro Well, not to start an argument, but motion tweens wouldn't really work, due to the faces being two different drawings. Motion tweens can only work for the same drawing, beginning to end. (Unless you transform the face then it will work with motion tweens.)
well if you think in 3D, the face is just moving. But in 2D there is much more going on. Motion tweens are things moving from point A to point B, like a ball falling to the ground. You can change how quick it is and all, but it just moves on a line. A motion tween in this case would be the face moving, without facial movements, from one to the other side of the screen. Flash/Animate is purely a 2D programme, so 3D effects always have to be faked in some way, much like what Jazza did here.
You have just made my efforts for my animation so much more worth doing. I thought i was doing it all wrong (doing it all by Shape tween) and i was in doubt because of how tedious its getting and how long ive been doing it for. Its great to know you do the same thing. :)
Jazza I'd like to see a tutorial, or maybe you can help me thorugh the comments, on how to make an transparent animation...like without a background so i can out it in an other video...like a transparent png but a animated video, i hope you get it. I use a greenscreen thin to make it happen but here must be an easy way
If you want to slow it down for a bit, I think you will have to take the last frame of the shape tween up to the point you want it to make it slow down and make a new layer and then make a new shape tween on that new layer at the bit you want to slow down and make it more frames longer
hlo! recently i have been watching your videos... I am 3d animator having less skill in drawing but recently engaged in sum very simple children educational 2d animation .. but I really dnt find use to in doing it. what software do u recommend me to do simple children rhymes type of animation? or hope can u make such video.. ? Thanks ....
I have a question, Why when I draw something with the brush tool the lines are so straight? Like, when im trying to draw an handmade fast circle it just doesnt work because it looks like a random shape and not a circle, but if I draw it slowly it works. Its like the preview thing it does before you release the pen is laggy. Anyone knows anything?
Could it possibly have to do with your smoothing settings? Try turning down the smoothing and see if that helps. Sorry this is an old thing, hopefully you have found your answer already.
Could someone tell me how to make something transparent in Flash (Alpha)? A whole (ex. square) and thing and one part of a gradient (ex. outside part of circle gradient) If you didn't understand what I'm trying to say just reply, *"fnnfkiscvhnvcksifhiankl!?!?"*
Sadly I had to re-upload, as my first attempt was a video with a random still image in the last 10 minutes... bummer

Question, how do you zoom in and out of the layers? I have like 4 layers on my layer bar, and I have my layer exactly like yours! And you have 9!
"What Shape Tweens DON'T do:"
Shitposters: Ah, and that's where you're wrong!
I love watching your videos Jazza. You've helped me out so much, really appreciate the work you've put into yourself and helping others.
Jazza, all of your videos are wonderful - you nailed Thor. Good changes coming, and I wish you every good and wholesome thing through this next busy while for you.
Complex, but I'm sure I'll get it eventually ...
I learned more about flash in 22:36 than I did in class in one month class. Thank you.
the first time I animated, I tried to draw bruce banner and hulk and used shape tween. IT WAS CREEPY.
You are seriously better at this than pretty much anyone I've found. Even college professors. Awesome videos.
That sword guy looks amazing. Keep doing what you're doing.
hes Larry Jazza made a serie with him "Larry of Karryon" sadly Jazza had to end it...
The shine effect is basically every glasses character ever
I wish you were there when i started,I would have learned so much faster and better with less trouble.Your doing a great job with this generation(Which i am a part of)
Thanks so much. Your tutorials make me feel confident! I love Illustrator, Photoshop, and Premiere. I feel very comfortable with those programs, but I was always a little scared of Adobe Flash. I feel like I can use Flash just fine if I follow your tuts :D
Why am I watching tutorials for things I will never do
I don't know but same
IDK but we are still doing it
Probably because Flash is stupidly expensive.
His tutorials are trully helpful, much better than what you learn in a class, save your time and just watch IT!!!!
OMG last winter I discovered Jazza and I totally forgot about him (like you try to forget a hot girl that doesn't like you) but NOW IM BACK!! YAY ME!!
OMG I alway's wondered how those animations had gotten those effects!! Awesome tutorial!
Faith in shape tweens restored.
watched some of ur videos, best tutorials on youtube, subbed
I... have waited... the longest time... for you to do a tutorial on how you did that!
Another thing to note (after I spent an hour trying to figure out what I was doing wrong) is to make sure the "snap to objects" is turned on when moving the shape hint or else it won't register the points correctly. Hopefully this helps anyone who runs into the same problem I did...
Hmm... I lost you at 22:37...
Great tutorial!
That turn of character is crazy.
A few seconds of animation and lot of layers. For me it's hard with Sh-T, but with FbF-type i'm fucked-up
well, i used shape tween to create a weird looking morphing animal stick-man, it looks weird, i also noticed, it can create so many vertices, it crashes!
It's funny because I've always wondered how you did that shot in Larry. Crazy amazing. lol
Thank you. I really needed this
You are the best out here
Love your vids man. I'm a game dev who uses flash for all my asset creation. It's an amazing tool. Been animating for well over a decade with flash at this point and I still learn something from your vids.
I was actually curious about the glove thing your wearing? Is it from an injury or something you wear to shop RSI, etc? I've thought about getting something like this myself.
+pixelfizz Also, are you using a tablet to draw? or the mouse? Looks like a tablet.
+pixelfizz He's using a tablet, and his glove thing is a smudge guard. I think smudge guards give the hand a smoother motion when drawing, I'm not entirely sure.
thanks jazza, like always
That color thing sounds good to animate sun sets. (the darkness on the background getting brighter)
I kinda love how funny the how not to shape tween character looks. Very creepy.
I wish you finished the Larry of Karyon (or however you spell it) series, i know it was a shit load of work but, damn it was a good show lmao i loved it i thought it was great!
Josiah I love you so much!
andressa moraes solin jazza*
I dont care
andressa moraes solin great do you think I care😂
thanks jazza it was a great help
Good tutorial man ! We are waiting for more Flash tutorials :)

thank you so much for sharing ur knowledge!!! (#1 shapetween tutorial online :D )

hasnii chasnii hey dude quality over quantity
Wouldn't the Face turning be a motion-tween case?
Enoro it would tbh
Enoro Well, not to start an argument, but motion tweens wouldn't really work, due to the faces being two different drawings. Motion tweens can only work for the same drawing, beginning to end. (Unless you transform the face then it will work with motion tweens.)

More than a year has gone by, but I wanted to shout, "ANCHOR POINTS!" Too late!
all your drawings are done on tablet!
is easier to make the contours
love it all!
:)
damn, this video really helped me, thanks! C:
is there a way to do a tween similar to the color change one but shifting opacity instead?
Mīmu-ō ALPHA
Actually, the shape tweens you describe can be easily done in Anime Studio Pro using their "Smart Bones" feature.
u shoulda used shape hints for the head. im fucking around with the file and its getti ng to the result I want
thanks the gradient tutorial was great, however, I have one question. Is there a way to be bend or distort the gradient while it passes
You have just made my efforts for my animation so much more worth doing.
I thought i was doing it all wrong (doing it all by Shape tween) and i was in doubt because of how tedious its getting and how long ive been doing it for.
Its great to know you do the same thing. :)

I use a greenscreen thin to make it happen but here must be an easy way
You could export the video as a PNG sequence.
So it s some kind of morphing?
Hi .. Can you do a tutorial about Special Effects? like on "Tarboy"
Thankyou in advance :D
I have a question, can you make songs flow inbetween different scenes in an animation?
QUESTION:
if i wanna do shape tweenings or motion tweenings how can i speed it up ? or slow it down for just a tiny part??
SpriinkT I don't know much about animation, but the speed depends on the number of frames in between. the less frames = the faster it goes
If you want to slow it down for a bit, I think you will have to take the last frame of the shape tween up to the point you want it to make it slow down and make a new layer and then make a new shape tween on that new layer at the bit you want to slow down and make it more frames longer
SpriinkT eases
I always try it for slow motions and I always fuck up and its annoying as shit, Imma watch the tutorial now hope it helps.
magical
How on earth did you draw a star with that tool?
He didn't use the same tool; he used the PolyStar tool.
hlo! recently i have been watching your videos... I am 3d animator having less skill in drawing but recently engaged in sum very simple children educational 2d animation .. but I really dnt find use to in doing it. what software do u recommend me to do simple children rhymes type of animation? or hope can u make such video.. ? Thanks ....
Jazza , show how to do animation of the face and mouth by Shape Tween
could you plz make a tutorial on how to tween eg. wooden barrel exploding in to pieces
Tutorial on lens flare?
The first one would work if you put all the features on different layers :P
I downloaded Keyframe Caddy for CC but when i try to load thumbnails, it says that it doesn't support HTML5 files. what am I doing wrong?
Can you please do a tutorial on how to draw/animate fire?
Search alan becker drawing fire on youtube
nobody important He has done a tutorial on that :)
tanx for the useful video

I think that didn't fix it, but I'll try it again as fast as I can, thanks for answering.
круто! very nice!
is shape tween in machromeida flash 8 pro?
+Hsaung Aye yes

is ther How to use Motion Tweens andt shape tweens in toonboom
??
martin snejbjerg what
The way he pronounces H is so weird.
Yet it almost feels like it should be correct.
Try Cacani
Plz remake this vid
10:32 Control+Shift WHAT????? HATE???What's?
In Australia about half of the people say Haich, (usually because they went to a catholic school) and half say Aich
When I hit ctrl+Shift+H it doesn't do anything... Why?
Probably because you don't have the layer selected.
12:45 Sex-change with Jazza.
I thought it said "How to Shape Tweens," as in how to draw preteens.
this shit is SOOO COMPLEEEEEX
What I understand from this video is "DON'T USE SHAPE TWEENS" :)
Could someone tell me how to make something transparent in Flash (Alpha)?
A whole (ex. square) and thing and one part of a gradient (ex. outside part of circle gradient)
If you didn't understand what I'm trying to say just reply,
