I want to make a short pixel idle animation of a character, with a speech bubble that has successively appearing letters (something like in Pokemon). I find timing the frames a pain in the ass enough even without accounting for the letters, is there an easier way of doing this without sacrificing quality or "pixel integrity"?

just add a letter, wait a couple of frames then add another one (counting spaces as letters), rinse and repeat.
animation takes time, there are no shortcuts

I was thinking maybe having the letters appear, then the character doing the animation, then letters again (since that would actually work for the concept), but that's still something like 50 frames for the bubble alone, it'll look like a mess in the reel. Is there a "Group Frames" option in Photoshop? (I'm away from my PC)

What software? After Effects has a preset for this.

looks amazing. Studied it frame for frame and the artist kinda cheated with the hand. The grab made an impossible switch halfway through the stab. Still amazing though

So I finished it but it contains a spoiler for Star Wars, you've been warned: >>>/co/78410104
