Sorry, i know this is a very basic concept, i think did it in past versions (version 6 i think) with the paint tool, in first keyframe, i fill it with a color, then in another keyframe, i fill it with with the same color, but this time changing the alfa properties, it generates an animation of gradual transparency, but i didn't find it how to do that in Anime studio 8, and i don't found anyone who posted something so simple like this.
Thanks if anyone tell me how to do this basic concept.
How do i make an object appear and disapear?

you can animate a layers opacity % on the general tab of the layer.
alternatively if you cant do the whole level then you can change a shapes alpha. Press 'Q', select the shape, click on the fill color, change alpha... if you dont have a stroke else you'll need to do that to.

Gradual visibility
I'm a total newbie here . . .
I used the Trace function on a multi-shape drawing. I want each shape to gradually appear over time until the entire drawing is visible.
Should each shape occupy its own layer?

Re: Gradual visibility
First you turn on allow animated layer effects for the layer you want to animate by double clicking it and openning the layer property window.raymond wrote:How do I animate visibility?
Then you set the opacity of the layer at a specific frame, say 0% at frame 1.
Then you go to the next frame and set the new opacity, say 100% at frame 24.
Opacity will only show in final render.
Here is a sample file, asp 6.2

Re: Gradual visibility
Thank you, that's the animation i was searching, also this can be applied for an animated blur that also i was searching.GCharb wrote:First you turn on allow animated layer effects for the layer you want to animate by double clicking it and openning the layer property window.raymond wrote:How do I animate visibility?

Sorry, but I must be missing something . . .
When I play the file, the circle goes red from frame one on.
I have a sample with a shape with "fill color" and "selected fill color" at, say frame 20. It results in a shape the same color as the background which slowly becomes visible.
My only problem is I don't know how I did it, so I can't duplicate the results!!
Grrrr (and, not in a good way) . . .

Layer 1 is just a rectangular black background;
bitmap knot is the artwork I traced;
the remaining layers allow a single shape to appear every 10 frames;
I stopped at Traced level 6 because I couldn't get the individual shapes in subsequent levels to fill-in (I got no paint bucket for 'em).
I really appreciate your help in this matter . . . earlier, I took a look at your blog: I really liked it. I almost tried this project with masks, but thought I'd get lost.

Hello, Gilles!!
Would you like to see what I came up with?? Here's the link:
http://www.mediafire.com/?t4m316aa44a9ay6 (I'd appreciate any comments or feedback you care to give.)
I should probably add some titles at the beginning and credits at the end. For all that work, it seems too short . . . I'd like to extend it a bit. I have another coloring pathway in mind, too (if I wanna color one piece in each of the three colors should they still remain on separate layers??).
Anyway, thanks for all your help!! I really appreciate it!!
