This is Joey and I am super excited to introduce a new tutorial creator here on school of motion. If you're ready to really up your animation skills check out Animation Bootcamp or Advanced Motion Methods. The world of animation is exciting, but learning it doesn't have to be frustrating. In the meantime, check out our courses to find your next learning adventure. Taylor will be back with a follow-up tutorial very soon!

This will save you a lot of trouble once you've built up several different animated symbols for your library. Try to use good logic when creating symbols, for example create a 'head' folder for symbols related to the head, and if you're creating elements for the arms, well. When you're creating your symbols try to add them to folder of groups that pair well together. For this tutorial go ahead and set it to graphic and not movie.

Once clicked you'll have an opportunity to name your symbol and choose from various setting. To convert an animation to symbol in Adobe Animate simply click Modify > Convert to Symbol. Once clicked it will automatically create a keyframe on your layer so that you mouth state changes. Just choose which frame you want by clicking the representative graphic. Need to set specific mouth movements for vowels or a closed mouth smirk? Use the Frame Picker panel as you're scrubbing through your timeline. Single Frame Playback in Adobe Animate 3.
