Question
Any way to do frame by frame (traditional) animation on After Effects?

I recently got the program and appreciate any help.

Answer
Hi Jim,

You can do it but it's much more time consuming than using other programs that are made for traditional 2D animation, like Flash and ToonBoom.

I have a friend who made a short piece in PhotoShop using gifs. He's in an asylum.
(Just kidding about the asylum)

Hope this helps.
