    [..YouTube..] fine Brother

  16. [..YouTube..] Nice, this video helped me a lot. Now it’s easier to manage and re-use some files I use to lip sync with my characters. Thanks a bunch!

  17. [..YouTube..] @Cabeem I only use a mouse. After years of drawing with a mouse I actually draw better with it than I do a pencil. It was a struggle at first though. If you’re just beginning to do this stuff it might be a good idea to invest in a graphics tablet if you have the means.

  18. [..YouTube..] @stringanime That is a good point. Thanks for including that.

  19. stringanime says:

    [..YouTube..] Open external library is really good for when you hav a large Fla file you’d rather not open

  20. Cabeem says:

    [..YouTube..] did you use a graphic tablet? or mouse and the line tool
