In this part of the video, the presenter addresses issues with scaling imported objects that are not in a squared format. They demonstrate a trick using a null object to make scaling easier. By nesting the object within a null object and adjusting the scale of the null object, they achieve the correct aspect ratio. The presenter also advises setting the compression of the animation texture sequence to “none” for optimal animation quality. To achieve transparency in a GIF’s background, they recommend adjusting the render options or using a GIF file with a pre-existing transparent background. They conclude by encouraging viewers to like and subscribe to the channel.
