Well, I was on Droidz, and saw "Transparency" sticks.

I was just wondering how to use them?? Like, does anyone have a "Tutorial" or "Pivot Animes" showing Transparency Pivots.

Use the transparency sticks. If you're talking about a transparency setting in pivot, there is none.

Well, I don't know what they are meant for??

Like I'm confused about this whole "transparency" stuff on Pivot.

Because it doesn't exist.

Flash, Pencil, and Easytoon, will all profit you much much more as an animator. I suggest using all of those freehand programs that allow you to make transparent drawings or components, rather than 1 stick per thing with only solid colors.

Change the colour of the stick to light grey or whatever.

Couldn't of said it better myself.

You're gong nowhere with pivot abarroga. Pivot is only really good for learning physics and if you get to far into it as a beginner its really really hard to learn how to actually animate. I suggest starting out with EZtoon, you'll defiantly learn more "patience" with that. and you can really just look at pivot tutorials to learn the physics well. Tranparency in pivot doesn't exist, but you can always fade in and out with color, so if you ha d a black stick on a white background changing his color to gray then to white would make him fade and disappear.

So I should just delete those "trans" sticks I downloaded??

Basically. But yeah seriously Eztoons will get you way better then pivot.

if you want to become more patient, I found a computer for free that takes 3days and 7hours to boot up, but it'll freeze if you move the mouse too fast. I'm so glad I got rid of, I didn't need it anyways ^^

GTFO OF PIVOT B4 AIDS GETS YOU

Anywho, to answer your question, most people use Transparencies to fade to a black screen. Which is done by a constant overlapping of them frame by frame. To do a fade out, you just go to the color chart and make it bright, fades to black also help. I don't think you're good enough to try effects. Effects are movements, so they have physics, placements, easing, everything, plus color and shading. Which makes them harder than movements.
