I Want To Animate But Adobe Animate Is A Little Confusing

Let me start by saying, I'm new. Please be kind. I've dabbled in Procreate for a few years and I'm picking up Fresco pretty well. I got into drawing because I wanted to make animatics of a friend's D&D show. Not full cartoons. Just pose changes here and there. But animate is SUPER confusing.

I draw best in Fresco or Procreate. What I thought I could do was draw something in Fresco and then add that image to Animate to make small adjustments. But the pencil in animate is grossly different from what I'm used to and I can't seem to get the settings how I'd like them.

Then I thought I might be able to draw and make adjustments in Fresco, export those "frames" to animate, and essentially put together what would be a slideshow. I'm unsure how well this would work.

Does anyone have experience in animate doing what I'm talking about? Is there any tutorial on how to draw things in Fresco and then put them into Animate to make what I'm going for?

I'm open to trying new things. I just have a hard time learning some things. Going from Fresco to Animate was like going from Science 101 to working on the Manhattan Project.

I like the papyrus font and I’m sick of pretending I don’t.

There’s not many fonts that look like old style inked letters so I use papyrus. Everyone shits on it because it’s cool to hate it, but I don’t see what the problem is.

I Didn’t Get It But I Still Smiled

(Pic Unrelated)

In 2022, I worked a gig for a team building scavenger hunt. I was a plant. My role was to be a sad guy at a bar that people would see. Their job was to ask me why I was so sad and I’d give them a phrase in response. Then they were supposed to cheer me up and I’d give them the next clue. I heard a couple jokes that day and it was nice.

One dude told a joke that didn’t make me laugh, but did warm my heart. English was his second language, but he spoke it fluently. He said he’d tell me a joke from his country. I could not tell you what the joke was or where it came from, all I remember is there was a camel involved. The punchline came and no one around him laughed. I looked at him confused. He shrunk and said “Shoot. I think that one got lost in translation.” I immediately gave them the next clue and told him how much that meant to me actually. For some of these folks it took GUTS to stand up and tell a joke. This guy got excited to tell one of his favorites and it fell flat, but I got to experience comedy far from my country. That was just a really nice day for me.
