i have a huion normal drowing tablet, and i never used it, and this is the first time for me with this program, and the forum too. any help? quick tutorials?
thanks in advance:blush:
Here’s a tutorial I just watched. It’s a good one but I have no idea if this is what you need.
I think you should tell us exactly what kind of Krita help you need and then the title of your topic should be changed to reflect that. Many are not going to read your request because the title is a little off-putting.

hello🙃
thanks for the fast reply.
well, i actually need a simple animation with voice over in the background and some story telling.
characters with little motion as possible, and some parallax background.
am totally new to this field, but am an archviz artist.
i already ssaw this vidao & it’s not quite what i need.
You’re telling us the end result you require but you’re not pointing out the knowledge gaps you want help with.
I know what it’s like when something is new – we don’t know what it is we need to know. So just tell us which parts you’re already good at (since that video didn’t help I’m assuming you already possess some animation knowledge).

i am an interior designer, i can draw and paint, am really good in drowing backgrounds and close up object, but all of that is on real paper. never tried digital, i know animation basics based on alot of tutorials i watched, i just want to know how can i apply this knowledge as quick as possible.
ps: i choosed krita because i am an open source lovveer.

IMO you need to learn Krita first. It won’t help to start an animation project if you don’t know how to erase or move lines or manipulate layers or add colour.
I suggest you go to the YouTube channel called Blade and Quill. Go through some of her basic videos then watch her animation videos after that. She’s quite thorough.

It took me 70 hours ish in the software to create a one minute animation. I think you should definately start learning step by step and not rushing it until monday. Krita is really not that “easy” to animate with. Otherwise i recommend this youtuber: Let's Animate - Krita: Pencilmation Tutorial - YouTube
And good luck

Well, then you need to have an idea of what you want to show the audience, what you want to portray, that is, a story that is suitable to fill 10 minutes. It has to be simple, with as little amount of work/effort as possible. Simplification must be the top priority.
Furthermore, you need to get acquainted with the animation component of Krita in the shortest possible time and learn its basic capabilities and functions, familiarize yourself with these features.
Your traditional skills will certainly help you with the graphical sides of Krita, but you will need to familiarize yourself with the concept of layers, which is the layering of images, similar to the clear foils in an overhead projector.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that you can do all this in the short time available.
Pardon my curiosity, how come the deadline is so tight, did you put the assignment off for too long?

thanks for your reply. i certainly will give it a look:blush:
thank you for your reply Mr. Michelist.
I have a final exam at a private school of content creation, and we are fully funded by the government, not necessarily a 2d animated movie, but me, the way I imagine my work will be done, is with animation.
i am taking this movie very seriously I know I can do it cause at the end big people will see it! I will share the final results here, hopefully i can finish on time

10 minutes at 24 fps is 14,400 frames.
If you’re animating at 12 fps that’s 7,200 frames but not all of them will be animated and not all the animated ones will be changing from frame to frame.
It’s still a lot of frames to produce.
A bit more than five days is too short a time. It would take you at least that that long to learn how to use some parts of krita.

i am familiar with photoshop and blender. “10 minutes at 24 fps is 14,400 frames.”! thats the problem cause i dont want a frame by frame movie. i want keyframes if that possible??
Oh yes, it’s all done by keyframes but I do feel you’ve underestimated the effort involved, especially with an application that you’ve never used before.

I’m very curious and looking forward to seeing what you will have created in the end.
I wish you good luck and keep my fingers crossed that you will reach your goal on time!

Also 10 minutes ALL in Krita will be hard to manage
I usually make 10, 20, 30, 40seconds maximum
And use Natron (After Effect “equivalent” open source) and KDEnlive for final cut.
Don’t know what you want to animate, neither how (using frame by frame? animation mask? how many layers? animation in FullHD? 4K)
You might need a lot of memory & CPU to do everything in Krita
==> Don’t hesitate to split your 10min movie into small sequences if possible
You can see here a part of my workflow:

i have an rtx3070 with 32 gigs of ram, maybe that will handle, i will take a look at your workflow it seems interesting, then I’ll go to start my journey.
i allready started to love this community and i think that krita will be my 1st go to software even after this movie.

Unfortunately Krita relies much on CPU-Power and RAM, your graphics “only” paints the pics onto the canvas.

It won’t change anything: krita use Graphic Card only to render canvas and provide a smooth zoom, rotation, pan
On my side I’m working on a 24CPU/64GB RAM desktop; i can tell you that even with that, it could be tricky to manage long animation sequences
After, it will also depend of many factor:
- if you use keyframes and tweening it could be lighter to handle and then will be OK
- if you use 2, 3 layers maximum, could also be ok
But keep in mind that animation inside Krita is built with “traditional animation” as reference: drawn frame by frame and memory consumption is high for that.
Some recommendation:
- Frame rendering Clones limit: do not go above 50% of CPU limit (otherwise you’ll got a congestion effect)
- Frame rendering timeout set to high value, especially if you use transform mask for tweening & filter mask (otherwise you’ll got some render failure)
- Cache storage on disk (if you have SSD, better to keep all memory for Krita than for frames cache)
- Do not enable background cache generation (will be CPU/Memory consuming; generate cache when rendering)
Good luck

i have AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor. i think its bad news?
PS: i already experiencing brush lag 
thank you Grum999. i will now tweak on my settings based on what you gave me
