Importing artwork for animation

- The most important thing to remember…when importing artwork into Character Animator…is the fact that hidden layers are also imported.…So, honestly, I recommend saving many different copies…of your layered Photoshop and Illustrator files.…Then, once you have something you like,…go ahead and go through the flattening process…so you'll only have the layers that you plan on using…inside of Character Animator.…Now, I'm just starting with a blank project…in Character Animator because we're going…to take our Photoshop files and import them…into the project for animation.…

So, to start, let's go up under the File menu,…and go to Import.…And I want you to navigate…to wherever your exercise files are saved,…and I'll go to my character exercise files.…And in the Assets folder,…I'm going to go to the Psds folder,…and there are two psds I want to import.…So, I'll click once on FrontTrees_MS.psd,…and I'll hold down the Command key on the Mac…or Control on Windows to select also the Trees_MS.psd file.…

And then I'll click Import.…
