In this video I go over some useful tips and reasons to use an X Sheet. It's really not as scary as it looks. At 16:35 I go over a particularly useful tool that can help both with organization and onion skinning.


0:00- Getting Started and importing Sound
5:45- Using Annotation columns to write in dialogue and action notes
8:45- Marking in and timing Dialogue Mouth Shapes
10:00- Create a new annotation column for action notes
12:00- Create Keyframes
14:00- Renaming your keyframes as the frame they land on
15:00- Hiding and showing columns in your X Sheet if it starts to get crowded
16:35- Marking your Keyframes, Breakdowns, and inbetweens
18:40- See how marking Keyframes can be helpful while using onion skins
21:00- You can use the X Sheet to make a new drawing layer. And you can populate that layers automatically with empty Frames in 2's, 3's, 4's, etc.
