How to Animate a Lightning Strike

thank you for helping me in my animation assignment that was absolutely useful ! <3

I am currently trying to make an animated film. And this will help me alot. Thank you ❤

brother you are the best. as a beginner nothing helped me more than this. I got a lot of confidence following your method. your techniques are so easy to grab as a new learner. please make more like these. Thanks a lot

You’re amazing! ❤🎉it finally clicked!

Twitter won't take my gif. 🥲

amazing!

This was absolutely phenominal of a tutorial! You even taught my some shortcuts (I'm new to adobe animate) and helped me realize just how easy lightning actually is! Thank you so much!

Thank you for tutorial! I will use this technique for my short motion graphics animated story :)

BLANK KEYFRAMES!!!

so why when you switch between frames your previous lightning flash disappears but mine doesnt? are you operating in the symbol layer? it looks like your just constructing this on the stage layer

fantastic work as always. Thank you so much for everything you do

I never knew there was a glow tool... I used to draw those glows 🙂 for like 1year now

Love it!
I am going to try to use this in my next gaming mechanic video to show a stunned/paralyzed character!!! 😊

I just liked the video for your intro! You've got a cool style.

Incredible tutorial! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much, this is now one of my favorite things to animate, this really helped

Saved my life ,thank you..Exactly what i needed to know.

Wow, this is surprisingly simple! I dread trying to draw effects but I'll definitely give this method a try when I have the chance, thanks for making this :)

Great tutorial, this was something I always wanted to learn about!!

Very interesting thank you!

Wonderful tutorial! I've always loved the lighting animations in live actions films and stylized ones in animation and l want to create my own at some point! Thank you!

This was very awesome. I was making a drawing based off of a lightning wielder. Learning how to do this could really be awesome if integrated. Thanks for this!

Are you really using Animate or is it just for this Video? I always struggle with Animate because I find the brush inaccurate and the program sometimes does weird things. Is that just me or do other people have these problems aswell?
Great Video, keep up the good work!

This is so cool! I've been wondering how people animate stuff like this, I appreciate it

i dread doing lightning strikes so thank you
