I’m gonna upload my dbz tournament fight later today. The credits will go to Ralph and Sean for the dbz sticks. Thank them a lot. Description: Goku and some of the z fighters inter a tournament Goku fights cooler and Vegeta fights hit. What do you guys think is gonna happen to vegeta? Watch it later on my youtube channel. It will be uploaded later. And part 2 will be in development later
Okay O_O .
I’m not just picking on you here, but I need to ask everyone this.
Why does almost no one use the “website” field correctly when leaving a comment? Most people should fill it in with their Youtube channel link but most people leave it empty or just put “sticknodes” or “youtube”.
As a result, I could now just click your name and go to your channel to check out your stuff, but now I can’t 🙁
Oh how do I leave a link?
There Ithibki put the link for my you tube channel
All it seems is you put your name, lol. You need to go to your Youtube page and copy the URL in the browser, for example http://youtube.com/channel/abunchofnumbersandletters
That’s what you need to put in the website field.
Like this
Where’s the url?
What you have now looks correct, but it’s not for some reason. Just open your browser (if you’re on iOS for example, open Safari). And go to your Youtube channel. Then copy what’s written in the top text bar, that’s the URL to your channel.
Or in fact, what’s your channel name, I’ll just get it for you lol.
My channel name is Ben Tennyson with a picture of ben 10 holding up the omnitrix or Iwill comment on one of your videos.I commented on your video with sean fighting the muscle node
Okay you almost had it right there, for some reason your URL was a bit weird with the “desktop_app” part and stuff, if anyone clicks your name it will bring them to your channel now.
Oy, are you going to allow users to be able to listen to music as they animate? I hate having to use two different devices m8. :3
use a radio boi
Sorry about that, I was told that before. I never noticed myself since I never tried to listen to music. I keep putting off into looking into why this is, will try to for the upcoming quick Android release I’m working on.
Can you ado background music?
It will be easier for animation for music
Hi! Well, maybe, but it’s not high on the priority list right now. Right now I have a limit on the size of each sound file to help keep memory used by the app in check. Background music is typically a very large file and would require special handling.
Hey m8! I had an idea witch would be cool!you once commented on one of my videos (my YouTube is YOUNGxMERCZ ) I’m thinking of doing a collaboration with my m8 but I don’t know what the profile picture or background should be for the channel so a feature you could add is where you are able to just take a picture of the current frame!plz
okay
Hmm, this is possible, but I don’t know how useful it will be to the majority of users for the amount of work it would be.
What you can do is (first make a copy of your project and do this in the copied version) delete all frames EXCEPT for the one you want as an image. Now just export it as a GIF and you’ll have a single image of that frame.
How do I export my project? I have the free version and I wonder how to export
Oy, all you need to do is tap on export gif/export to gif right next to export mp4. Then all you gotta do is make a title for that animation…Choose the height and width (recommend max height and width for HD resolution) and tap export! 😀
Nice answer!
Thanks blue blueleaf it works. Ralph check out my cell saga battle on my YouTube account
Ralph I made part 2. Part 3 should be out soon or in a few hours idk but this should be a good episode. Everyone click on my name and go to my youtube channel to watch my dbz videos
I just checked out all 4 parts, was very entertaining, great work.
Like I mentioned there, the animation was a bit rough, but that’s to be expected with the fast rate of uploads. You covered a lot of content pretty accurately, too, which I really appreciate. Even your slight changes/additions were believable.
Have to say, I really enjoyed them, good work!
Guy’s check out my Spiderman episode and my dbz episodes. If I get 40 subs I will make gohan’s rage episode and a double upload will come out
Spidöh-man.
