Hello. I try create skeleton animation as it shows on youtube tutorials, but my experience doesn’t match with these tutorials. What i am doing wrong? For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJdf98TLj18&feature=youtu.be

Hello.
You need to select the layer handles, not just the layer itself.
Behind the scenes, you set which layer/polygon handles a skeleton bone changes when you move/rotate/scale it.
So, you need to:

  1. select both Group and Skeleton layers in order to see their handles;
  2. click on the green handle point of Group layer (it’s called group/layer Origin) - it moves/rotates all the group
  3. right-click any handle (green/blue/brown(?) of the skeleton bone you want to link to.

Done :slight_smile:

Then, select skeleton layer

I changed the explanation to simplify the bone linking.
