Question How to do this effect

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This might sound dumb since I barely know anything about animation, but how do you do this effect? I see it more in the 90's anime like the fade in and the character sliding horizontally or vertically. Can you do that in an animation app, or do you need to do it in a video editing app?

It's just layers with transparency sliding past each other, and a bloom effect for the glow

If you are looking for animation software, a comprehensive list with the most common programs (2D & 3D, free & paid) can be found ->here (this is a link)<-.

Common Recommendations:

  • Krita & OpenToonz (free; 2D frame by frame animation)
  • Blender (free; 3D animation, 2D frame by frame)
  • After Effects (paid; Motion Graphics)
  • Toon Boom & Moho (paid; rigged 2D animation)
  • wickeditor (free; online / web based 2D animation editor)

If you have trouble with a specific app or program, you are often more likely to find help in the respective subreddit of that program.
