Sprite Animation: Symbols, Camera, and Export

Most real animations aren't a single shape moving around — they're built from multiple image assets combined into reusable pieces. In this video tutorial you'll import a set of sprite images, assemble them into an animated symbol, direct the shot with the camera, and export the finished clip.

What You'll Learn

• Importing multiple bitmap image assets into the Library
• Arranging imported images across layers to build a character or object
• Converting artwork into a reusable animated symbol
• Editing keyframes inside a symbol's own timeline
• Placing and animating symbol instances on the Stage
• Framing and moving the shot with the Camera
• Exporting the finished animation as a video file
