I have been using this technique and it works well for me. I have one question
though that I have not been able to find in the reference material. When you
draw the first frame in the first color in the gradient and insert a frame and
choose the next color in gradient to draw the second frame and so on. Is there
an easier way (say thru the keyboard) to choose the next color in the gradient
without clicking on it?
Also, I had some trying times with using the sep tool to remove the trails of
earlier frames. I had inadvertantly removed all colors from previous frames
when I ran the sep tool over my current frames past drawn outlines. Currently,
I am drawing each frame using the gradient skinning and then when I am done all
the frames, I turn off the time feature and sep trailing drawings on each frame
with the transparent color and then make another pass changing the key drawing
on each frame one step above the transparent color. Is this the easiest way to
remove the gradient trail drawings?
Thanx in advance :}
