I'm having trouble getting this to work on 11.0.2... I've got a layer with a pencil shape on it, and a fill layer under it but when I click outside the shape on the layer with the shape on it nothing seems to happen... :'( Do you mean you're trying to use the FigureFill shortcut by Svengali (from 3...

Thanks , Chad ! Good demo, good tool.

Hi! I have a file with several sequences and a few shots in each ( I have a clip by shot and I link them into sequenes) I named them differently so I know which sequence is what, and I would like to keep this naming when I export each shot as a jpg image . But for now it just gives the name of the ...

Man this looks good! Makes me wish I could animate. Is it really that hard these days? To raise funds for what I would think should be a project that would appeal to so many people! Well, the "conventional wisdom" in mainstream Hollywood is that for theatrical feature films hand-drawn ani...

A thought to the developers. I can see the subpixel is unchecked by default. Maybe it should be checked by default? To avoid this jagged lines? +1 . This has been a source of confusion to some of my online students who use TVPaint 11 on Windows. I have to go through the whole "Do you have tabl...

Confirmed. I exported an AVI in YUV with TVPaint and tried to read it with QuickTime 7 Pro and with QuickTime 10.4, it didn't work. No issue at all with VLC Media player, and even Windows Media Player and the Win10 application for videos can read it without issues. Ok, thanks for confirming that. I...

Justin Murphy continues work to secure funding for his animated film "Dawgtown" . The film is now entirely storyboarded and test animation has been created for some key sequences. The film is being animated in TVPaint. Here is a recent newspaper article about the film: http://jacksonville....

Anyway to get the Canon EOS 7D to work within TV Paint 10 Pro? Anyone figured out a work-around for this? One workaround that I know of is to use a webcam for 'video-assist' to the DSLR (Canon 7D or whatever) with the webcam mounted parallel to the to the DSLR camera (using careful framing to adjus...

Nice to see a few glimpses of TVPaint in this making-of video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=al-RLxymA9Q" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; al-RLxymA9Q While I think that Blue Sky has probably done the best possible CG version of Peanuts that can be done (deep respect for the...

So if I output via AVI lossless and then convert to Pro Res, assuming there is absolutely no image degradation by doing a two step process? Try it and see if it meets your technical specifications. To my eyes the export to lossless .AVI (RGB mode) then converting with Quicktime 7 Pro to .mov with P...

I tried it and it is also all black here because of missing components.

Thank you for confirming that. It's good to know it's not just me.

If you need files that have codecs such as Apple ProRes 422 or Apple Intermediate , an option is to Export from TVPaint 64bits with lossless .AVI (RGB mode) then open the .AVI in Quicktime 7 Pro , and from the list of codecs in QT 7 Pro convert it to a .MOV file with Apple ProRes 422 compression. ht...

It makes a difference in color quality. Some rendering codecs prefer YUV , otherwise I don't think there's too much of a difference as far as we should be concerned. I've tried both and don't see a difference. Do you know which codecs prefer YUV ? I made a test rendering of the same scene exported ...

Apple no longer supports Quicktime? That's a big surprise. How can that be? . It does seem hard to believe , but it's been a long time coming (see references in posts above this one). Some of us who can still run "legacy apps" like Quicktime Pro 7 on our Macs maybe haven't noticed it , bu...
