Hi, and welcome back.
In this tutorial we'll show you the various ways
you can manage your animations.
Expressive Pixels has three different galleries
where you can save and view your animations.
Let's click on the menu icon at the top,
and we can see here,
My Animations Gallery, the Community Gallery
and Device Animations Gallery.
In the My Animation screen,
you can see sample animations
that are installed with Expressive Pixels,
as well as everything you've created or downloaded.
Every time you save one of your creations,
it will be placed here.
Next, the Community Gallery animations
is where you can see the animations created,
shared, and uploaded
by others in the expressive pixels community.
You can now upload and share your own animations
to the cloud too.
To do that, let's go back into My Animations
and I'm going to upload My Heart.
Let's hover over the animation
to see the options menu at the bottom.
I'll select the ellipsis here
and we can see now Share to Cloud Gallery
is one of the options.
Now you'll want to be aware
that if you're not signed into the cloud
with your Online Account up here, this will be grayed out.
If that happens, just sign in again and then try again.
So here I'm going to share to Cloud Gallery
and the check mark tells me it's been uploaded.
Okay, so now when I go back into our Community Gallery
and click the refresh button at the top,
I can see My Heart has been shared here
and it's available for others to view and download as well.
So let's say I put something in the Community Gallery,
but I want to remove it for some reason.
Again, I can just hover over to see the options,
select the ellipsis button here.
and select Remove from Cloud Gallery, just like that.
Of course you can only remove your own animations.
If I try to select one that I didn't create,
I won't see that option here.
And don't worry,
when you remove one of yours from the Community Gallery,
it will still remain in your My Animations Gallery
so you could continue making adjustments if you want.
Now, if you find an animation from someone else
in the Community Gallery that you like,
you can easily download it to your own gallery
by hovering over the animation,
and I'm choosing the Bouncing Beach Balls,
and we can see here,
the little downwards arrow in the middle,
I'm going to select that.
And we can see that it's been copied
Now you have a new animation in your My Animations Gallery
to use and make edits to as you like.
The third gallery is Our Device Animations.
And these are animations
that you have previously stored on the device you are using.
How many you can store at a time
will depend on the amount of storage on your device.
And you can see your usage at the top of the screen here.
To store animations onto your device,
you will need to have your device connected
either with USB or Bluetooth
and to double check that
we'll go into the devices menu at the top
and make sure our device has been connected.
Then we'll go back into the My Animations Gallery.
I'm going to hover over our Bouncing Beach Ball,
click on the ellipsis menu button
and select store to device.
Great. Now, when I go into My Device Animations,
I can see that the Bouncing Beach Ball is here.
Now I can play it on my own device.
Okay.
Now go ahead and share your animations with our community
and download, use, and edit some of the cool ones
that have been shared by others.
