Frame by frame animation used to be the only way to animate. Before computers and all the software existed. It is still used today to replicate the quality and the look of this traditional animation technique.
Every frame is drawn individually, which takes a lot of time, patience and experience.
Usually, you would use Adobe Animate, Photoshop or Pro Create.
But there are ways to simulate frame by frame animation in After Effects.
And in this tutorial, I’ll show you how.

-
great tutorial man keep it up!!
-
Really helpfull tricks. Thank you. More frame by frame tricks or a in depth course would be nice.

I used to do F-b-f in animate but due to time had to use the AE trick. Let AE do the work for the inbetweening for you while you just work on key key frames. Just add that posterize time cherry on top with dash of wiggle or wave distortion for that hand drawn FBF feel & u get to meet deadlines too!
-
Can you do another video on this? Like a much detailed version? I love this style
-
Hi Manuel, super nice tutorial! congrats. I always set the frame rate in "composition settigns" instead using "Posterize Time". I´ve had some issues when precomposing using this effect. Do you believe there are many different between this two process?
-
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Can I ask you which is the name of the plugin or complement that alow see the shapes properties?
-
I enjoyed it very much. Is there any way to give posterization time only to camera movements?

What is Frame by frame animation? It's looks like a "boring linear animation" (if you like it 0:59), but not a frame by frame animation. I also dont agree with you that linear animation is "boring". Why frame by frame anim isnt boring? Maybe you ask those who actually do animation frame-by-frame? You can also increase your frame rate to 60fps and animate with key frames (automatically) or do real fbf. So what is fbf?

I always love your tutorials and learn something new each time. But WHY DON"T YOU USE F9 TO EASY EASE THE KEYFRAMES?? That's... unsettling. jk
