Cutscene animation in Gimp

[BlackRoseMii]

Hello^^

I've been trying to make an anime-styled cutscene animation since some time now, but I've come across a certain problem every time: The animation is just too laggy.

(Example of what I mean: http://blackrosemii.deviantart.com/art/Yet-another-animation-test-523561903 )

I'm using Sai (for drawing) and Gimp (for animation) and the number of frames for each shot are around 15 (I don't know if that helps)

So, what I want to ask now, is how to make it more fluently. If there's someone who can help me with that problem, I'd be really happy ^^

Hmmm... what's the frame rate (frames per second) you're using?

Unfortunately, that's something I don't know, so I don't know how to check it ^^°

I'm not an expert but if you have in GIMP show each frame every 0.2 seconds then you'd have 5 frames per second. It's just math xD! Reducing this number would make it look more 'alive' and not so 'laggy' but you'd need to draw more frames in return.


My signature is kinda laggy too, isn't it xP ?

I see Oo I actually thought having a frame for about 0.2 seconds would be enough XD Okay, I'll try reducing the seconds next time^^

Kyuukon, red is a moderator only color, please don't use it.

for animation this depends how many frame you will use  a mouth animation and eyes animation can be done at 3 frame pers second

you can download sai animation assistant who work with png and this permit to control the animation like you want and this free!
