I'm not sure I can help you, because I have pro 7, but if you follow the tutorial, step by step, sentence by sentence, you should get the desired result.

You are not the only person who has had troubles with the Debut 6 gradient tutorial, I've seen several mentions of it on the Web.

As you follow the tutorial, sentence by sentence, study each of the images very carefully. Sometimes that helps.

Here is a debut 7 YouTube on gradients. I don't know if it will help or not.

And here is one for 6 with no audio

Good luck!

Well, Mozbo is trying to help you, but maybe you are not listening...Let's take this one step at a time, then. Gradients can only be seen in renders, not in the workspace. Have you tried hitting Ctrl-R?

Yeah, Mozbo, I tried to follow up everything. I did watch it this both of demo videos. I try my best thank you to Mozbo.

(Please be patient. None of us gets paid for reading or answering, it may take several days sometimes.)

Are you really sure it didn't work? Because a gradient is something that will NOT show up in project view, only when rendering the image.

OK, here's how I do it:
- draw a rectangle, keep it selected
- select "create shape" tool (U)
- select "Gradient" under "Effect 1" in the "Fill" section
- choose colours, hit OK
- hit SPACE
- render image.

I did click the style. I can see click Gradient setting. No problem at all. I did click Ok. My drawing picture did not appearing from the red fill circle to line empty circle. I am still wonder. I see other videos are little bit different. I am trying to following. Maybe I misunderstood them. I am trying to be patient. I did follow this step by step.

Did you hit SPACE? (the space bar) This is the necessary step to make any change on the fill colour permanent.

I do not know if this works in 6:
It does work in 7.

Open a New document.
Set the gradient BEFORE you draw the shape.
...Choose gradient from the style bar
...Double click the squares on the gradient bar to change the colors, or just use the B&W default.
...Draw the shape with either the Shape Tool or the Freehand tool (Be sure Auto-Weld is checked if you use the Freehand tool.
You should see the gradient.

Hope this helps!

Finnaly, I got it, I follow Slowtiger's explained. Thank you for helping. I am Happy now. I should read very carefully. I like Anime Studio. It really fun to make own yourself's movies. Thank you to Mozbo again.
