I would repeat this same step inside the “Layout”, “Rough”, “Clean-Up” and “Ink And Paint” folders located in the “Animation” folder. Then, I would make a copy of the “Shot 1.pclx” file and and paste it into the remaining folders that start with the name “Scene” located in the “Layout” folder.

I would save it as “Shot 1”, in the “Scene 1” folder located in the “Layout” folder. Starting with the “Layout” folder, I would create a shot file by opening up Pencil 2D as a blank project, or if you wish, a template that has multiple layers in the project’s timeline. After that, I go into the “Storyboards” folder that I’ve just made, add folders and rename them in accordance to each scene from the script that I have written for the movie Scene 1, Scene 2, Scene 3, etc… I would repeat this same step inside the “Layout”, “Rough”, “Clean-Up” and “Ink And Paint” folders located in the “Animation” folder.

Then, I go into the “Animation” folder and make the “Layout”, “Rough”, “Clean-Up” and “Ink And Paint” folders. Once that’s done, I would make the “Animation”, “Character Design”, and “Storyboards” folders within the main project folder. That’s what I’m doing with my own animation projects I would first make a main project folder. Also make multiple copies of each shot accordingly to map your progress and showcase each milestone within a shot (e.g rough, clean, color, etc).
