Re: TVPaint crashing on Ipad

I haven't been using the iPad (with Astropad) to draw in TVPaint very often , but now my Cintiq is in the shop for repairs (bad cable), so I'm trying to use Astropad again so I can draw with my iPad in TVPaint , but many times TVPaint will not take any input from the Apple Pencil. Sometimes it works...

Re: Reset All Positions option in Transform tool

I think it would definitely be useful to have the Reset All option listed in the right-click menu for Transform Tool (as in Perspective Tool), but there is a Reset button in the tool panel that doesn't require 3 clicks to reset Scale, Position, Angle. Leo, I'm glad you mentioned the shortcut of ESC...

Re: Copy-pasting frames from another file not working

TVP 11.7.1 Pro I am copying a selection of frames from one file to another. Pasting these frames results in one empty frame at the beginning and one missing frame at the end.

Re: TVPaint crashing on Ipad

Are you using Sidecar ? I've had good results using Astropad Studio, to draw in TVPaint on my iPad Pro.

Re: Procreate Dreams

Seems impressive at first, but I hope they don't forget basics like shift & trace, reusing drawings on the timeline or a proper fill tool for animators otherwise it seems more like a social media tool to showcase yourself using it rather than for real work, we didn't really see much 'animator' ...

Re: No playback preview when using KeyFramer

I've noticed this happening on and off in 11.7. (It doesn't always happen, which makes it difficult to document it as a bug) What fixes it for me is to uncheck the Preview box at lower left of FX Stack panel and then immediately check the Preview box again, then hit Play. Then it plays the scene wit...

Re: Right Click Mac Os X

I'm using Mac OSX, which has no right click, Hi, That's not quite true. I'm a Mac user and I use Right-Click. My two-button Logitech mouse lets me right-click and so does my bluetooth Apple Magic Mouse . What kind of mouse are you using ? You said you want to duplicate a layer. So when I want to du...

Re: Can you "clear" the white area of an imported jpeg?

I've imported a jpeg of a title card. I'm resizing the card to look like a pullback and I want to use the light table to inbetween the positions. The problem is that I can't see through to the type font to inbetween it. The white area around the type is blocking my view. Is there a way to "cle...

Re: How do I reverse a black line on white to be a white line on black?

One other way you could do it is to have all your animation completed as black lines on white background. Then change Background from white to None and from FX Stack use Stylize > Negative to change the black lines to white lines. (I would suggest you do this by duplicating your original layer of an...

Re: pipeline tool for workflow upgrade

Interesting. Thanks for posting this. I haven't heard of it before , but will look into it.

Nice to see TVPaint listed there on the Ynput website . I'm hoping that means they have already tested TVPaint with their pipeline tool.

As Peter said , you know where to ask questions ! Good to see you here again.
