Tips & tricks
OVERVIEW
Keep an eye on this living list of tips, tricks and reminders of best practices when using Fable
Tips
- We recommend Chrome for best results when using our software.
- We recommend using a laptop or desktop computer when using our software, versus an Ipad or smartphone.
- Fable requires access to a reliable and stable internet connection.
- If you experience any unexpected errors/issues, always refresh your browser and try again.
- Refreshing your browser usually resolves an issue.
- If your final deliverable is a smaller aspect ration, we advise starting with a larger canvas, giving yourself the flexibility to resize in the export window.
Reminders
- Diamonds ◇ have replaced stopwatches ⏱️ in our editor for setting keyframes, but you will still see watches in our some of our Youtube tutorials and some Help Center articles for now.
- Always confirm you have the layer selected that you are wanting to effect (ie: master comp/canvas vs. a shape or text layer)
- Multi keyframe animation is not supported yet.
- Fable auto-saves as you go. But if you want to create a snapshot of where you are, click the rewind clock icon next to the Asset Browser and add a snapshot by clicking + in upper right corner.
