i have a problem with painting, the color only shows at the start then conpletly disappears and this couses the linear warp to not work, do you know what to do?
i follow the step but the result is that the eye layer doesnt follow the movement of the first anime pic. so it cause the eye part stand still blink but doesnt move. i want to know how to slove it
How can I make the window that appears at minute 0:50 appear?the window on the left side of the original image.Sorry if the question is very stupid, I'm new to this program.
Make sure you have the eye layer at the top. Also its important you pre-compose the eye layer and full image together before you use the puppet tool to animate. This will keep the eyes moving simultaneously with the image. Hope that makes sense.
Every time I move my puppet markers it moves them for the previous frame even tho my timeline is on the next frame, and when I go to move them back it moves them for the next frame.
hey zelocity i am having trouble keeping the eyes on an animated body; the body that i am using is moving around with the puppet tool and i want the animated eyes to stay in the right place, but they stay where they are and the body moves away. Is there any way i can fix this easily without making keyframes for every frame?
@@Zelocity i am kind of confused on what you mean. just for some background info, i have my character and 'leftlash' 'leftlid' 'rightlash' 'rightlid' layers all inside of a composition already, it doesnt even let me copy the layers to precompose, are there any more specific instructions you can give me? sorry for the trouble
@@prod_muco Basically what we're trying to do is combine all files together. So if you haven't already, select all the eye layers from this video and precompose it by right clicking the layers and hitting precompose. Name it whatever you want. When you have that, you should be able to move the eyes freely as one in the main composition (the comp you made when starting a new project). In the main, you should have two things. The eyes and the full character image. Select both of those and precompose. Sorry if i'm not using the correct terminologies for this.
how to make the eye smoothly close and open? cause its visible that i changed something in the middle of eye open, and then it just jumps back and looks bad
Can you do a guide on how to add particle effects? I'm creating a doom slayer themed animation and wanted to add cinder and flames at his feet as well as animating his breathing. Thanks
I've imported a PNG picture to AE 2022, I did all the steps in front. But I unable to view my imported image. I click the brush tool, but there's no image for me to edit. Could you assist me?
it would be so much easier if my after effects functioned like yours. do u have to turn on auto keyframing for it to even show up i cant set keyframes... everything else was ez
Hmmm that's really interesting. It should automatically set a new keyframe for every change in position to the anchor automatically. Make sure you didn't accidently turn off the puppet tool stopwatch and have new keyframes at different intervals.
Amazing tutorial, love every vid on this channel ^^, too bad I messed up and precomposed the original image by accident and now this eye animation doesn't work anymore..
i'm stuck on the eyelids, dunno if it has to do with me using mac but i can't get the color to stay after i use the pen tool, and i've been checking if i'm on the right layer and such. is there something that i'm missing?
That's odd. Make sure you are at the beginning of the timeline when you use brush tool. Also I believe mac and PC are the same. Only key bind difference.
@@haix9301 Thing is, even with the mask from the pen tool, the paint should still remain since we only cut the image layer underneath it. Trackback and see if you did the steps completely the same. Make sure you use the paint brush at the very beginning of the timeline. Painting at the 3 second mark will not stay for the 2 seconds behind it. Worst case scenario, start from the beginning. You may have misclicked something during the process. (I've done this so many times). And no worries, you're watching a tutorial for a reason. Feel free to ask for help!
@@Zelocity haha, i restarted my project again after a bit and followed the tutorial again, it worked! must've missed something, this tutorial helped a lot though!
Sorry to bother you, but I need little help. When you made guide how to make animated steam artwork, you didn't do eyes, just animation , so do you first create eyes animation or animation of our character? Or does it even matter?
Great question! You would do the eyes both you use the puppet tool. So before you animate the whole character. Make sure you precompose the eyes with the whole body so the eyes stay on when you use the puppet tool. Ill include this in a QnA video. Thanks for great question!
@@Zelocity Okay, looking forward to it :D . Also if its not a big deal can you make a short tutorial about that glow around it . I hope i am not asking to much ;)
this really helped so thank you so much! Only question is after animating the eyes I saw you had a video on hair animation and im not sure how to you combine the two to one animated body?
Select all eye leash and eyes on the left side with your Artwork Render and click Rightclick then click " Pre-compose..." give it a file name. (To Select all of them together press just shift with left mouse click.)
In photoshop, what is the best possible settings for "save for web" for a gif regardless of file size. (I couldn't find a clear answer online besides stuff like 256 colors)
Well, if I want to max out the quality, I put color reduction to selective, dither and transparency to diffusion, and 0 lossy compression. You can also put the quality to bicubic. I believe its the best you can do for a GIF file however don't quote me on this. Hope this helped.
Showed it in the video but you just have to move to a different frame in the timeline and reposition the puppet anchor. Also to see the keyframes, press U. Hope that made sense
First you need to place anchors with the puppet tool at the beginning of the timeline. Then you can go forward in the timeline and move the anchors or pins to a different location. This will make new keyframe. Also press "U" to see the keyframes.
from what i've seen you copied the whole character image, but how is the part you're drawing on (covering the entire eye look to be as if it's on another layer??) pls
One of the best, easiest to follow and perfectly done tutorial I’ve seen on TH-cam. And everything in 8 minutes. Too good. Liked and subscribed

Thanks! Easy to follow too
Np!
@@Zelocity quick question, after the eye is animated how do other animations with it too? like hair movement, breating etc
@@hoji-6919 I'll make more videos on that but it pretty much has to do with a bunch of cut outs and puppet tool.
@@Zelocity alright, thanks!
Omg this is amazing ;at first i think it will look better but this is very amazing your put the final vedio in first "want this"
Fantastic tutorial!! Tysm!!
Thank you ! I hope you can reach 1M subs !
Hahaha, doubt it but thanks bro!
@@Zelocity no no no, i never doubt it, you do great bro, one day we'll talk about it 😉
love u man
thx!
Thank you!

Perfect, and easy to follow. Thank you so much!
great work!!! super easy to follow
Glad this helped out!
Thank u for the tutorial, it is really good 👍
hey, i have a little problem, when im double clicking the layer it dosent open me that window like in video (0:52) you know what might be a problem?
Pretty sure you have it open. Just drag the layer panel around the top to the left
I did everything you done about the lashes but I could not able to move pin anchors like you do. I would appreciate if you help me with it.

Check the puppet tool frames by pressing U with the selected layer to see if you have unwanted frames.

how you do that? 2:55 - you double click on "RightLash" and it brings up another page/layer to you but when I do the same thing then nothing happens
bro I appreciate this tutorial , I wish if u can answer me and help me cause i have so many troubles in this (eye blink)
is good
Thanks!

next step tutorial animated body?
In a lot of your videos, you say to have your files clean and organized.
With that said, what's your browser history like?
i cant see the lashes mine just shows the coloring over the eyes thats it what am i supposed to do?
hey zelocity i've been trying to follow the tutorial but when im trying to animate de eye, changing the percentage doesn't do anything
How do you make that second screen?
Double click the image layer.
@@Zelocity i have another pb, when i drag the lashes the main lashe from the original photo is still there and its dublicate. how can i change that?

Could you do how to make your steam profile artwork
I have a video guide already on my channel
Can I use after effects even if I have 4gb ram?
Sorry I think it would run way to slow especially for steam artwork. Minimum recommendation would be 8 gb.
hold up, what did you do after you traced the left eye with the pen tool at like 1:30 ish
Did the same thing on a different layer with the right eye only instead.
how did you add keyframe selections?
Showed it in the video but you just have to move to a different frame in the timeline and reposition the puppet anchor. Also to see the keyframes, press U. Hope that made sense
How do you create these keyframes? I cant get past that part
First you need to place anchors with the puppet tool at the beginning of the timeline. Then you can go forward in the timeline and move the anchors or pins to a different location. This will make new keyframe. Also press "U" to see the keyframes.
how to change the distance? it dsnt work :( can anyone help?
Btw how to make the eyes glow?
I cut the pupils out and added a glow and outer glow. And I also added a light sweep to make it more visible
@@Zelocity you add those 3 on the pupils?
@@lysret7998 Yup!
@@Zelocity Love to see more tutorials coming up from you my man.. especially the hard parts
@@lysret7998
how do you copy and paste an initial keyframe...
Press U to reveal frames. Select intital frames. CTRL + C to copy and CTRL+ V to paste
Is it possible for me to order an artwork?
Yep! Just add me on Steam. I have links in the description
@@Zelocity I invited you to friends, nick MarkaS :)
when will you make tutorials on how to use effects on AE for steam artwork?
Soon. Thanks!
@@Zelocity yay :3
every time i connect the pen things the whole thing goes black with only the eye left
Never heard of puppet tool making layers go black. Make sure you have the layers fully on the composition timeline.
my guy, whats the composition?
Would you mind taking all the tutorials you've made and just putting em all in one video. Or doing like a speed art version.
I have a playlist on my channel. Check it out! And might do a speed art? Can't guarantee it.
from what i've seen you copied the whole character image, but how is the part you're drawing on (covering the entire eye look to be as if it's on another layer??) pls
Make sure you have a full character image underneath all eye layers.
@@Zelocity i've gotten it now :D also am in the steam designserver
no matter how much i try i cant get the eyelashes to sync with the eyes.
Uhh what if theres hair on the eye?
did you find out?
You'll need to use a multiple layers for that. I don't know the process though.
@@prod_muco yup
I miss 8MB steam artwork
damn that's a lot of work with the final animation
Why is the entire editing ae scene so afraid of talking...every single video is like watching anime with these subtitles
Much clearer to read visually. That's just it.
Will do voiceovers when my mic comes in, but doubt it will make a difference.
