First of all, I'm just going to show you a couple of demos, what symbols can be used for in flash.
Taylor Jon Peters (00:45): What's up, everybody let's get into this.
So if you're ready to dive into a program that you may not be very familiar with, go download the project file at the link below and let's get started. Taylor is awesome, and you're going to learn a ton. And he'll start by introducing you to symbols, a powerful tool for creating traditional animation. You may have heard that in this tutorial, Taylor is going to show you how he works in Adobe animate. Taylor, John Peters is a motion designer who has worked for some of the biggest studios in the world, including giant ant. This is Joey and I am super excited to introduce a new tutorial creator here on school of motion. If you're ready to really up your animation skills check out Animation Bootcamp or Advanced Motion Methods. The world of animation is exciting, but learning it doesn't have to be frustrating. In the meantime, check out our courses to find your next learning adventure. Taylor will be back with a follow-up tutorial very soon! This will save you a lot of trouble once you've built up several different animated symbols for your library. Try to use good logic when creating symbols, for example create a 'head' folder for symbols related to the head, and if you're creating elements for the arms, well. When you're creating your symbols try to add them to folder of groups that pair well together. For this tutorial go ahead and set it to graphic and not movie.
Once clicked you'll have an opportunity to name your symbol and choose from various setting. To convert an animation to symbol in Adobe Animate simply click Modify > Convert to Symbol. Once clicked it will automatically create a keyframe on your layer so that you mouth state changes. Just choose which frame you want by clicking the representative graphic. Need to set specific mouth movements for vowels or a closed mouth smirk? Use the Frame Picker panel as you're scrubbing through your timeline. Single Frame Playback in Adobe Animate 3.
