This is a tutorial on how I do my animations. I`ve been asked several times already how I do it. Each time I tried to answere as best as I could. But (almost) each time, as soon as I mentioned I`m using PaintShopPro, most people ran away, never to be seen again.
Now I thought I finaly put together this tutorial. This way I don`t have to explain everything again next time I`m asked about my animations, and I save a lot of time in case the next one asking goes running also because of PSP.
Soooo, I`m using PaintShopPro 9 for my graphics, AnimationShop3 for my animations.
(do NOT ask me because of Photoshop and ImageReady. There are hundreds, thousands, of tutorials for PS and IR)
For this tutorial I`m not going to explain PSP to you. I take it you know your way around the program, are familiar with the layer settings, and the image settings (how to create and open a new picture aso)
I`ve added a few (awesome!) external tutorials for some of the PSP features, and for screencap programs.
I`m using PaintShopPro to prepare all of my screencaps for the animations, I use AnimationShop3 ONLY to put together the finished animation caps
I`ve tried to explain everyting as good as I can.
REMEMBER: this is NOT a tutorial about how to run PSP and AS3 the best way possible, this is a tutorial about how I do it!
