Do you also do tutorials of how you add in the music background in a good quality? I tried to add in music one time and the way I did it didn't sound right.

Hey, when you are skewing and changing the shape of the head how come it doesnt change the entire symbol in the library. Im trying to open the mouth of my character so I change the geometry of the symbol but it changes it for all the frames. How do I avoid this issue? Cheers!
