Description
These frames are meant to be used for sectioning off the part of the screen that your scene takes place in, eliminating guesswork on how to stage your characters and action while also leaving the rest of the space free for prop storage.For best results, keep the frame in the same place for the duration of the camera angle, and layer the frame in between your background and characters/props.
You may use these freely without crediting me.
These frames are 20 pixels wider and taller than their intended resolutions to act as a small buffer.
The outlines are 5 pixels thick, and will not overlap your finished images.
Intended for use in Create.swf by kirbym.

This is a good suggestion. I already do this. My frames also include line guides to help me use the rule-of-thirds. The downside is that (after making the parts) I have to go back and delete the frames.
BTW, I love Cirno's comment. There are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many gun props and people just keep pumping them out! It's always the same static side-view too! They don't bother making props when viewed from any other angle.

Now I can easily make some videos with this. I've been using Andysnap for a while and they never come out right. But with this, I'll make them right. XD

Great work here. This should definitely be useful, both for comics and animations.

Wait, have people not been doing this? How've they been lining up the panels?

Truth be told, I'd put some sort of goofy prop off to the side like an apple or a bunny gun as placeholders for where the frame ends. Never really considered using a framing device/prop until seeing Ceej animating in-person.

AndySnap helps quite a bit for me, since it (should) save the exact size/shape of your last screenshot. That, along with rsgmaker's Comic Layouter makes it pretty easy. Still, I can imagine a few scenarios in which always having a visual indicator will come in handy.

Frames like this were literally the second custom object made- for my first Walfas comic, no less.

Huh. I guess I just never had the idea to?

To be fair, I learned how to do comics that way before the WSW even existed. I guess i just figured it was the default way.

Oh shit, this is actually incredibly useful. I'll keep these well.

I'll likely use this next time I animate. When I did animations, I'd just put something goofy on the side of the frame like an apple or a katamari ball, but having seen you animate live and how smoothly you do lipsynching, I'd prefer using this, and I can recommend this for anyone else wanting to get into animating, too.
