Hello,

00:00:01.560 --> 00:00:03.795
welcome to another video

00:00:03.796 --> 00:00:06.239
of the Blender Animation Work Tutorials.

00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:08.839
On this video, I'm going to show you the Annotate tool.

00:00:09.672 --> 00:00:13.051
The Annotate tool is a simple way to do your 3D view.

00:00:13.728 --> 00:00:15.651
Don't confuse with the Grease Pencil,

00:00:15.652 --> 00:00:17.939
which is a separate more complex drawing tool

00:00:18.616 --> 00:00:20.955
that is meant for more detail drawings,

00:00:20.956 --> 00:00:23.451
while the Annotate is meant for simple stuff.

00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:26.883
To access the Annotate tool,

00:00:26.884 --> 00:00:28.756
you have to go first into the End Menu.

00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:32.656
Once here, you have to go into the View tab,

00:00:34.528 --> 00:00:35.100
and here,

00:00:35.828 --> 00:00:37.960
all the way down, you have Annotation.

00:00:38.584 --> 00:00:40.715
This is the Annotation menu.

00:00:40.716 --> 00:00:43.316
You can create a new stroke by pressing the "+",

00:00:45.396 --> 00:00:45.760
or,

00:00:46.852 --> 00:00:49.400
on the 3D Viewport, pressing D.

00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:54.651
Once a stroke is created, you can change

00:00:54.652 --> 00:00:55.172
the color,

00:00:58.084 --> 00:00:58.760
the thickness,

00:01:00.684 --> 00:01:01.672
the visibility,

00:01:03.128 --> 00:01:06.299
and also you can lock it. So if I create

00:01:06.300 --> 00:01:08.172
a new drawing or another frame,

00:01:10.356 --> 00:01:12.384
this one won't go away.

00:01:13.684 --> 00:01:16.283
Annotate is a really simple tool.

00:01:16.284 --> 00:01:18.155
But this doesn't mean that you can create animation,

00:01:18.156 --> 00:01:20.651
for example, to measure a spacing.

00:01:32.872 --> 00:01:35.159
If you want to edit the Annotate keyframe,

00:01:35.160 --> 00:01:37.759
you have to go into the Dope Sheet.

00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.515
And inside the Dope Sheet,

00:01:40.516 --> 00:01:42.440
select category Grease Pencil.

00:01:43.896 --> 00:01:46.183
Here are the keyframes of the Annotate tool.

00:01:47.796 --> 00:01:50.499
You can also use Onion Skin to check

00:01:50.500 --> 00:01:52.683
the future and past frame while working

00:01:52.684 --> 00:01:53.516
on the current one.

00:02:03.500 --> 00:02:05.683
And that's all for this video.

00:02:05.684 --> 00:02:07.555
Thank you so much for watching

00:02:07.556 --> 00:02:08.284
and see you on the next one.
