This is a great behind-the-scenes look at other animators workflows! An easy alternative for storyboarding that I actually just found out about a few months ago is called Storyboarder. It's open source and is compatible with photoshop as well.
this is the video that i found in the TH-cam that is actually helpful for a newbie. i know how to animate but i always be confused how to make a storytime video. you clear my confusion. thank you so much for this awesome video.
wow, thanks for this information... I am starting an animation channel also, and I really don't know how to create things properly yet. Thank you for your content I was able to learn from you.
Great video of all the process, but how do I make the pop in and out animation in the 7:16 minute? already know its a classic tween but how I do it lol
Reaper is a great digital audio workstation which is basically "free" (you can evaluate for ever) and it comes with a lot of plugins like eq, compressor, reverb, noise reduction
Inspiring stuff. Am just starting out so am trying to figure out what I need and trying to get a feel of what I have to read up on... Thanks a million for the vid...u rock
Funny thing, I have the same process, I just haven’t done anything. 😔 Procrastination is destructive my friend, do not succumb. ☺️ Anyways Great video. thank you for the motivation
Hi Brad, i really like your comics its really awesome. Can you please tell me how do you get the Boil Effect (titles and characters) ? Its from Adobe animate or in the last step with After effect ?
You would probably be disappointed :) My sketchbook is a mess and often more words and scribbles than real sketches. I might do a brief one in a Q&A sometime.
Very Educative Video. I so much enjoy your Videos. Keep it up. Please Can You make a Video on How to Create Cartoon Digital Story Telling with few characters using Adobe Animate or Adobe After Effects ?
This right here, this good!!! No but seriously, this is awesome! I wanted to do animation for a while, but I'm still trying to hone my artistic skills...
Woohoo! I really needed this! Thanks Brad, your content is as helpful as always! Now I can actually make my own animated content on my channel (not this account)
Can u please help me out to learn animation, basically I am interested in doing animation can u suggest what type of tutorials u go through ,what type of software do u use for animation
@Brad Colbow For your workflow, do you prefer using a Wacom tablet as opposed to something like a Cintiq? If it ran smoothly, would you prefer to do all of this on something like a Surface Book, so you could use the stylus on the screen? I admit that the Wacom tablets have a nuance that even the iPad Pro/Pencil can't get with. But there's that disconnect of looking at a screen while using a tablet below. Kinda like touch-typing for drawing. haha.
Yeah, I do prefer to use a screen based tablet. It takes time getting used to the other ones but a lot of artists prefer the no-screen tablets. It comes down to personal preference.
I just made an animation but I used illustrator, photoshop, imovie and pencil2d (took forever) but this looks way easier using adobe animate. I'm considering a surface tablet after trolling your videos lol thanks
Hi Brad! Thanks for sharing this video, it was very helpful. I have a question though, as you always reviewing and working with pen displays...how come you are using in this particular video a pen tablet? Is it better for animation?
This is pretty amazing! Thanks so much! Do you draw all the animations in Animate as well or do you use procreate? Sorry if I did not catch that in the video!
Hey! This was really helpful, as an artist I've not used Animate (or Flash MX as it was when I used it) in such a long time, you reminded me about a few of the little things, as I was genuinely wanting to get into animation again for youtube but wasn't sure where to start, I couldn't remember the name of the tweens but that has taken me back, so hopefully I can get to work and make use of my graphic tablet :D
Dude how can u import mp3 or other audio files into actionscript 3 for me it only lets me import ogg vorbis files it doesnt even let me import images i dont know how to fix it can u please help
You should try Twomon USB is an app that should let you use a android tablet as a second monitor or mirror your display and you should be able to draw with it
Hi Brad - really great to see your workflow and hear what is going in in your head. I am trying to get away for the CC subscription and was wondering if you could recommend an alternative to Animate? BTW, really love your Affinity Designer Crash Course!
I would like to try it but It a little to expensive for me to outright buy right now and I haven't been successful in getting anyone at HP to take me seriously yet :)
Awesome channel! Glad I found you! I'm just wondering... how long, on average, does it take you to create a new video top to bottom? Thanks! Keep up the great work!
Man where were you when I was at animation school. Instead I got Mrs rabbit from pepper pig. (no really Sarah was my tutor... Yes it's been odd hearing her voice when my godson watches the cartoon)
download keyframe caddy for your lipsynch and instant switching of symbol, Also Swivel for your rendering. very dope content you post for us here I appreciate
Dude you realize you can just make one lip sync graphic with all the mouths, set it to single frame, and switch the frames throughout the animation, right?
Nice to have a peek inside your process.
Kesh your awesome
Kesh !!
I am your biggest fan.
I had a feeling you'd be here,😐
You here ?
Keshhhh
Even I am not a English speaker, but your voice is really clear to make me understand, thanks a lot.
That's why the audio is so important.
glad i stayed to the end, that tip on your bitrate of audio is a diamond! Easily an important setting I missed. Looking forward to more. Thanks.
I really would love if you made speed animating videos. It's just something I love watching.
Bananamaaghhhhhh
Astana : what?
I'm just getting into animation after two decades in professional graphic design. Thanks for sharing this, especially at an entry level!
2:06 Only I saw on the bottom left side of the screen there is a file called black like my soul.png
This is a great behind-the-scenes look at other animators workflows! An easy alternative for storyboarding that I actually just found out about a few months ago is called Storyboarder. It's open source and is compatible with photoshop as well.
Just checked out this tool and it is completely mind blowing! i can't believe I never heard of it. Thank you so much
Very efficient workflow. Thanks for sharing.
So helpful to see such a streamlined process
Boy this takes me back to the early 2000's when I was using actionscript 2 and 3 to create website and motion graphics.
Awsome video Brad, cool to see your workflow. Check out the Frame Picker panel in Animate for lip Syncing and choosing different body parts.
I’ll have to check 2that out. Thanks!
Thank you, Brad for making this video. Tons of small details adding up to a really streamlined and efficient process.
this is the video that i found in the TH-cam that is actually helpful for a newbie. i know how to animate but i always be confused how to make a storytime video. you clear my confusion. thank you so much for this awesome video.
Why does Adobe insist on advertising on videos on how to use Adobe???? I already have Adobe. That's why I'm watching this video!
This was the best video I’ve seen so far in regards to tips and workflow for animated shorts.
Dude, thank you SOO much! 🙌
Dude, you are awesome! I like the simplicity of your artwork. It really resonates with me.
wow, thanks for this information... I am starting an animation channel also, and I really don't know how to create things properly yet. Thank you for your content I was able to learn from you.
Great video of all the process, but how do I make the pop in and out animation in the 7:16 minute? already know its a classic tween but how I do it lol
inspiring tutorial. I personally can't wait to try Adobe animate again after seeing how effiecently you use it. :)
You should check out key frame cadey for lip sinking in flash
Steve Harpster Or even the built in framepicker in Animate CC.
This was great for someone who’s clueless and wants to get started wit Animate, thanks alot!
You can have all your mouths in one symbol and use frame picker which lets you choose your mouth you want in the frame instead of having to drag it in
You can use Audacity to record and remove the background noise and alot of other features
oh man... I think i'm going to have to learn how to draw before I do animation.
Reaper is a great digital audio workstation which is basically "free" (you can evaluate for ever) and it comes with a lot of plugins like eq, compressor, reverb, noise reduction
You can use Adobe audition for audio editing
thank you so much! ive been wanting to start my own thing for a while and this tutorial really helped!!
Inspiring stuff. Am just starting out so am trying to figure out what I need and trying to get a feel of what I have to read up on... Thanks a million for the vid...u rock
all you did was great but can you go deep to audio? i dont know how to put audio also i want another program for voice editing
Funny thing, I have the same process, I just haven’t done anything. 😔 Procrastination is destructive my friend, do not succumb. ☺️ Anyways Great video. thank you for the motivation
Hi Brad, i really like your comics its really awesome. Can you please tell me how do you get the Boil Effect (titles and characters) ? Its from Adobe animate or in the last step with After effect ?
Hey Brad, are you ever going to do a sketchbook tour? Would be really cool to see
You would probably be disappointed :)
My sketchbook is a mess and often more words and scribbles than real sketches. I might do a brief one in a Q&A sometime.
Well a lot of what you do is design, so writing notes is important! I say the messier the sketchbook, the better!
(but the q&a thing is a good idea)
You deserve tons of subs man
Very Educative Video. I so much enjoy your Videos. Keep it up.
Please Can You make a Video on How to Create Cartoon Digital Story Telling with few characters using Adobe Animate or Adobe After Effects
?
Can you please give us tips on exporting videos. The videos I export are soooo huge; like 350mb for just 5secs
Insightful, as usual. Thanx Brad!
I can animate in animate cc, i just dont know how to mix audio with it
I really like your videos.
This right here, this good!!! No but seriously, this is awesome! I wanted to do animation for a while, but I'm still trying to hone my artistic skills...
I love this video and what type of computer are you using
Nice
Woohoo! I really needed this! Thanks Brad, your content is as helpful as always! Now I can actually make my own animated content on my channel (not this account)
Nice! good luck!
Hello can anyone tell me in what software did he create the cymbals in?
The audio sounds kind of weird at 2:30.
Oh wow, that is weird... but also kinda cool
Yeah, I thought it was on purpose, like playing both channels separately.
Making me want to get into making some animations!
I like your drawing style! And your explanation is very clear and easy to understand :)
Can u please help me out to learn animation, basically I am interested in doing animation can u suggest what type of tutorials u go through ,what type of software do u use for animation
Awesome. Learned a lot looking at this!
How you create that wiggle effect similar to red bull ad?
Have you draw two or more frames and apply loop playback?
Thank you so much for this Brad!
Brad, thank you for sharing your overview ,,, thumbs up!
what font do you use?
@Brad Colbow For your workflow, do you prefer using a Wacom tablet as opposed to something like a Cintiq?

Cool! I like your animation style. Very engaging. Thanks for sharing.
How long does it take to make one of these videos? On average?
Hi Brad! Thanks for sharing this video, it was very helpful. I have a question though, as you always reviewing and working with pen displays...how come you are using in this particular video a pen tablet? Is it better for animation?
how to switch from one scene to another anytime and with ease?
This is pretty amazing! Thanks so much! Do you draw all the animations in Animate as well or do you use procreate? Sorry if I did not catch that in the video!
Hey!

Love your videos bro
Dude how can u import mp3 or other audio files into actionscript 3 for me it only lets me import ogg vorbis files it doesnt even let me import images i dont know how to fix it can u please help
Makes me want to try!
Whats the list of main poses that you have premade
You should try Twomon USB is an app that should let you use a android tablet as a second monitor or mirror your display and you should be able to draw with it
Roughly how long does a video take to finish? What is the estimated amount of personal time would you say goes into one video?
You should watch a video on the frame picker in Animate, it is easier than having a lot of symbols
There is Some peaking and distortion at 1:35 when you talk about using Premiere Pro for audio editing.
13:03 Exportando vídeo com qualidade
09:20 Fazendo o texto se mexer igual todos os canais fazem.
Great work! Thanks for the play by play of your work flow.
Really interesting and informative. Thank you.
well made explanatory video, very helpful.
Brad please give a Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop drawing lesson ☺️
Great tipps and tricks in there. thank you for sharing. :)
Thankyou! I love your videos, very inspiring and helpful...and funny!
welcome to the storytime community
Hi Brad - really great to see your workflow and hear what is going in in your head. I am trying to get away for the CC subscription and was wondering if you could recommend an alternative to Animate?
BTW, really love your Affinity Designer Crash Course!
The only one I know of is called Toon Boom. It looks cool but also has a monthly subscription. I think it’s around 20 or $25 a month.
Check out Anime Studio/Moho.
Thanks Jamal
You've talked about the hp zbook x2 8 months ago, but still no reviews about it. Have you tried it or not yet?
I would like to try it but It a little to expensive for me to outright buy right now and I haven't been successful in getting anyone at HP to take me seriously yet :)
I hope @HP get this message 😁
I just don't understand how to sync the pictures with your voice
Omg! So much work! I give up.
I'm late to the party commenting here, but this is a great video. Thanks for sharing your process, very helpful.
Awesome channel! Glad I found you! I'm just wondering... how long, on average, does it take you to create a new video top to bottom? Thanks! Keep up the great work!
Best software for crating animation
Plz tell me
Adobe animate
I can’t find adobe animate on my Microsoft surface pro 2017
You have to buy that
Excellent! Keep it up!
Can you make an Adobe Animate animation tutorial on Udemy? I would definitely buy.
Man where were you when I was at animation school. Instead I got Mrs rabbit from pepper pig. (no really Sarah was my tutor... Yes it's been odd hearing her voice when my godson watches the cartoon)
You sound so proud
awesome!!
download keyframe caddy for your lipsynch and instant switching of symbol, Also Swivel for your rendering. very dope content you post for us here I appreciate
Awesome!!!
fkn cool, thank you for sharing this !!
So.... Flash ain't dead it seems ;)

Dude you realize you can just make one lip sync graphic with all the mouths, set it to single frame, and switch the frames throughout the animation, right?
Is this 2018?
"Specially if I try to be funny..."
Finally!🤓🤓🤓
Haha, yeah, got a lot of requests for this one.
