After a disastrous few hours of video editing we got it done lol I take so long between using the program I forget how to use it. The editing is never 'great'.

Guess who's the fool who is planning two new animations?
I've already started one. It's 58 traditional slides and about half a song worth.

I do all my animation in flipaclip, as well as all my digital drawings, and this is what I’ve found with frames so far:
Animation isn’t about very minute differences in the frames, especially if you’re working with a small frame rate. If you prefer 12-16 frames per second like me then exaggerated movements and smear frames are you best friend. If you try and do minute frames like it’s a super high frame rate it’ll end up looking slow and choppy.

I keep seeing this and meaning to post but I never have! I started watching animatics and pmvs/amvs on youtube the other day and now I keep wanting to do one too c’x I actually did start planning one and sketching very basic frames on my computer earlier this year but I had to get the computer replaced in July since it went out, then had issues with the replacement and decided to move to iPads so I still need to resketch what I had in Procreate and figure out the rest. I might have to wait until I get an iPad Pro to finish it though since my current has a lower layer limit. Although I guess I could probably do it in sections and piece it together? I haven’t used Procreate for animation much yet.

I looked up some old PMVs and was proud about my improvement today. ^^

This was the first somewhat successful gif I've been able to do. Not really much of an animation, but it's a start. I call it Stressbucket Ollie. What kinds of things should I start out with in animation. Small things like blinking and walking? Panoramic scenes?

Haven’t tried animating since two years ago but I do want to try my hand at them! Can I ask for program suggestions? I used the onion layer on Firealpaca way back when but I do want to try other things as well.

I wish I had a good suggestion, but I do the 'draw each layer in SAI and edit them together in Blender' trick lol

I like FlipaClip, but as far as I know, you can only use it on a phone. ;w;

So.
Let's see how much tweening I can get away with in this RP.

yo any of y'all have recommendations for tablets or like computers that have touch screens and styluses that are good for animating on
rn im considering like a microsoft surface pro or an ipad any thoughts

wacom intuos is like 50$ and best tablet imo I hate screened surface for drawing, it's just nasty. but that's personal preference I suppose. drawing on my screened tablet felt laggy and the resolution wasn't the same as a screen so it would be color shifted and slightly skewed and that made me big sad. + screens are $$$$
put that cash into a better processing laptop and it'll go much farther and be more useful

I've used both samsung and apple tablets for art and I didn't like either of them. Both with sketchbook pro because that's what I bought. There's always expensive huions or wacoms and perhaps those are what you're looking for, but the cheapest of those is??? 145? and that's still a plug-in art tablet
i couldn't help with laptops tbh I don't like the idea of laptop very much? charging things is not fun but they're cheaper options than a full built pc lmao if you're looking to animate and do it for a long time, an investment of anything with a dedicated graphics card is a must. integrated graphics take a lot of processing from other systems and having a graphics card will make it so much less laggy on many art programs when rendering images

what i'm more looking for is something like the ipad or the surface pro, a computer tablet that has a stylus

that's just a normal pressure-sensitive tablet
and they do take a bit of practice, but honestly it is WELL worth the time and money to just spend two or three weeks doodling around with it until it feels natural. I like my tablet better than paper nowadays, being able to customize pressure-sensitive brushes in krita and stuff feels amazing once you get the learning curve down (which is just... experimenting until you find something you like. You can copy your favorite streamer/youtuber to start you off, but please please use it as a base and figure out what settings work for you the best).
I think learning how to use a tablet like intuos is better in the long run. Screened tablets like an ipad might feel more like paper, but you lose so much functionality and customizability that you get with a tablet. Not to mention that pen pressure sensitivity is night and day to flatlining on an ipad, I would learn how to use a tablet just for the pressure sensitivity. Then you don't have to use erasers to vary line weight by hand or have all your lines look flat.
Also that using a tablet opens you up to so many more (better) art programs. I can count on my hand the number of actual art programs I could get on my android, but PC there's open source programs like blender and krita as well as other professional programs like adobe or SAI
Give it a few weeks. If you really put in the effort and still can't stand it, then maybe you'll need a screened tablet. But tbh screen tablet is putting a bandaid on the problem not a solution and it really is a downgrade and I'd put that as a last-resort option over a regular pressure-sensitive art tablet. there's just so far ipads can really go, and you'll be able to have more room to improve and experiment with the tablet imo. App store programs are pretty limited.
also, if you like music and really want to get the hand-eye down, use the tablet to play some osu! it's a free rhythm game that most people use a tablet for, you aim with the tablet and tap with a keyboard to play music. it's fun and really helped me get comfortable with the tablet (and now I'm just god mode osu player too lmao I think I use the tablet more for osu than I do for art nowadays...)

so like that's a drawing tablet without a screen a drawing tablet with a screen would be like this: and i'm sure you already know what a computer tablet looks like but just in case:
