Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Thanks - I had a feeling there was an obvious way. I'll go off and remind myself how that works.

This feature is always catching me out too. I'd love to be able to turn it off. It throws me into a panic when it starts to shift things around without me asking it to!

Hi folks After a break, I have another project, and am trying to figure out my set-up. It's a case of animating on top of pre-existing paintings. The client likes my use of layered textures but I don't think it's right to apply these to the original paintings used in the background. In the attached ...

I think I've fixed it by setting a backup destination in the preferences. Sorry to shout for help prematurely!

For a while now, every time I save anything in TV Paint I get a dialogue box saying "Can't clean some of the backup files of the project". I just click OK and carry on but I should fix this. Any idea what's upsetting it? It started after I finished a major project so probably has to do wit...

thanks Thierry!

Hope this isn't the wrong place to post this, but as you were all so nice here in helping me get from a standing start to a finished film, I wanted to share the result with you (or at least with those of you in the UK, as it's on the BBC): https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0001tl7/tha-thu-air-a...

Okay, I've made a discovery which means that all I need is for TVPaint to start working again. It turns out that the reason for my suddenly full hard disk is that for some reason my latest backups (which I thought had silently failed) were being made inside my animation folders, and not to the exter...

Haha, thanks. Good advice.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. I had two files open actually, my last, complicated, scene. They're over 3GB each. I can't get TVPaint to open in any way - by opening an existing (potentially corrupted) file, or an older, more innocent one, or just clicking on the application. It won't do any of it.

Yes, hard disk space. I've just got one volume, 2TB, all full. Have got external hard drives (also 2TB), am going to have to shift everything over to them even though I'd hoped to do that afterwards and not during the project. Am crunching away at that as we speak. However, I'm worried that it seems...

Running MacOS 10.13.6 on an iMac Retina 5K, 2017
Processor 4,2 GHz Intel Core i7

I have restarted. Reinstalled the software. Removed the config file. Running out of ideas.

I am literally on my last clip of the film. I had hoped to finish today. My Mac ran out of space and TVPaint crashed. I've cleared some space, but now it crashes on startup every time. Trying not to panic.

thank you both! I never would have got through this animation without this forum!

I'm getting so close to finishing my 5-minute epic! I'm including imported video in my last shot, but want to feather the edges to blend it seamlessly into my drawn animation. I can think of lots of ways but don't know how to execute them in TVPaint. Eg: can I feather a freehand selection? Can I app...
