Work finished. How have credits in the begining?

[luisba]

Hello
I just finished my first anime job but now I would like to have the credits in the begining, only the credits no overlapping the character.So you can reading credits and after the action happen. Some tip?
thanks

Do it separately, and then combine credits and rest of movie in a video editing package.

thanks. But without video editing package?. Or maybe I sholud have made the credits before the movie?

You can easily create scenes in AS like this:

Put your finished animation scene by scene into an own group layer. Put your title layers into another group layer. Set its visibility on at the first frame, off at where the action begins, and so on with every scene.

This is not elegant, but it'll do the trick. You need to plan your timing ahead because if you need to add time at the very beginnig of the file, you have to shift keyframes on each and every timeline you already have animated.

Yes, that would've worked.

You can try sliding all your animation keyframes over to the right by 200 frames or however much you want, and then animate the title and credits in the new space at the beginning. But if you have sound, this will mess up the lip sync, so you'll have to fix it.

Or you can animate your title and credits as a 2nd movie, then stitch the two movies together with a progrm like QuickTime Pro. It costs $30, and works for Windows and OS 10.

Hope that helped.

I have another, built-in solution.

Let's say you'll need 10 s for your credits, and the frame speed is 24 fps. That means you would need 240 frames at the start. You can do this with Rescale Keyframes... in the Animation menu.

Check the Select entire document checkbox, and add the number of frames you need to the respective values in New start frame and New end frame fields. Now press OK, and press Yes on the question: "Are you sure you want to rescale all animation in the document? This action cannot be undone."

You can now add your credits with the credits script (menu Scripts -> Other -> Credits...), from frame 1 to 240, inclusive.

You can try disabling some of the display options in the Display Quality menu (right bottom of the main window). Text adds a lot of points, which slows down the preview rendering. AFAIK nothing can be done about it, other than buying a faster CPU and faster memory.

This is also the reason why most animators do their credits separate from the animation. You simply need video editing software if you create a complete animation movie.

Try out some of these tricks to improve playback speed.

Also, to keep from seeing your movie under text, make a black (or another color) rectangle in a new vector layer in Frame 0. Make the rectangle big enough to cover the whole work area. Then, at the specific frame in your movie you want the black rectangle to disappear, click on Layer Settings and you'll see an option to make that vector layer invisible from that point forward.

You can easily create flash like text effects in AS 5 or pro waving zooming poping blurring etc utilize the motion bluring.
