Created my own animated medical folder props! - But need help with a program glitch
They are looking great however, I am having some consistency issues through the program I need some help/advice with. Video 1 shows their final working versions. Video 2 shows the program glitch problem I am dealing with. I created these vector based props and manually created their animations. When I drag them in from the content window, the 2 different folder props are not showing up the same way each time and because of that the animations aren't working correctly on the glitched props. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to why the props aren't showing and functioning consistently and it doesn't happen in any sort of pattern when I drag a new folder prop. If I open the composer to see layer order or sample my animation in the timelines, the working props are identical to the glitched props. Im stumped. Any ideas?

@Alan Searle thanks for the response. The video just has the actions spaced just so its easier to see at a slower pace. I checked the size and position and they are all consistent. My big issue is why its showing up glitched randomly when i pull from the content window (see video 2) it doesn't make any sense since everything is identical. I dont have any issues with anything else I've made, just these 2 props. Any ideas on that?
Do you draw your own characters or like to use premades?
Im curious how many "from scratch" creators we have on here :) Also, id love to here about what some of your favorite premade characters are and why. Im always looking to see what others create and looking to learn from quality designs.

@Pola Roshdy what makes you fail? what kind of characters are you trying to do? what programs to you use for drawing? The biggest thing that helps me is by taking apart well done characters and learning from them.

@Fab B it looks like you're off to a great start! Ive learned alot by taking apart the premade characters and swapping images until I create my own images. It helps to see how they work and where I can make customized changes.
Will we be able to buy specific courses if we are not VIP?
Like I have no idea what animation alchemy is but it sounds interesting but i cant even find a place to learn what it is supposed to be about since im only a standard member.

Classroom Resources - How can I ask Mark a question on them?
Im working through a few of the courses right now and was wondering if when the resources/project files are included, if it gives the option for him to provide us multiple formats, if there was a way we could get the other formats. Ive noticed this in a few courses. For a specific example, Im working on the Rigging Mastery in CTA course and working on the robot character (approx lesson 70) and I see there is a psd provided in the project files, but he goes back and forth in illustrator and photoshop and it shows him using an illustrator file but its not provided. How can I get the initial illustrator file instead of having to use the photoshop file?

@Mark Diaz thank you! I prefer illustrator for my drawings so I usually follow along your lessons by creating mine in illustrator instead of photoshop so it helps to have the beginning files so I can work through it as you go through the photoshop versions.
Do you prefer Vector or Raster for your 2D animations?
For your 2d animations, do you prefer to create and/or work with vector formats or raster formats? What makes you pick one over the other, and What programs do you prefer to pipeline with?

@Willie M. I wish more items in marketplace were vector. so many of them are raster.

i am very suprised to see more vector than raster, most groups seem to be only raster preferences.
