26 Aseprite Tips for Beginners

Фильм және анимация

I recently did a thread over on Twitter where I posted a bunch of small things I've picked up over the years.
Original thread here: / 1435600476666482689
Since people seemed to like it, I've combined them all into a single 8-minute video to put here, hope they help!
I elaborate a lot more on these techniques in the thread I linked above: when I use them, why I prefer them over others, etc. So, if there's some confusion surrounding a few of the clips, I'd recommend checking the original posts out.

  • @nootall

    @nootall

    Жыл бұрын

    Not sure about this one! I usually try to use the same duration for each frame. If you're trying to make a few frames last longer, then your best bet is to duplicate the frames. If you're trying to make a few frames shorter, you may need to make all the frames quicker, and then duplicate the frames you want to last longer. Although, I did just experiment with exporting an animation with different frame speeds and it worked fine, not sure what's causing your issue
