Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Hi Thierry I wonder if you could help me out as I'm a bit confused about the time sheet. What is the relationship between the Xsheet tab in preferences and this new sheet key? I can't seem to fathom out either of them even after watching all the videos! Further back in this post you say... All of th...

Yes this forum is amazing! I've learnt so much from all the advice given to me and also reading answers to other people's questions. The people here are very knowledgable and very generous with that knowledge.

Hi Bruce Elodie told me that you can find information about the X sheet in TVPaint 10 manual : http://static.tvpaint.com/downloads/manual/tvpa10/lessons-en/lesson08.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; She also recorded this video for someone to show the how the x sheet works...

hi Bruce . I havent assigned the imported scans to a particular level. I have just imported in all the scanned drawings before building the project. Once they are all in I can copy and paste to different layers. There maybe a way of doing it but Ive only done the above. Hope all is going well. Joanna

Hi Elodie

No I don't have any firewall thingie..... that I know about! Maybe I'm just doing it wrong! Here's a question...does the path set in the Temp Directory in General relate to the saving? Clutching at straws!

Hi Bruce Glad this is helping.. With regards to the "combination" process that you've been working out, are you saying that you do some of your keys on paper, scan them in and then work digitally on top of those drawings? Do you then set the opacity of the original paper drawing back a bit...

Hi Elodie I hope you had a nice break and managed to do all the tasks you needed to do! Well we investigated into the server and the server was working fine. It seems to be a problem with saving to any path. I can only save to the original place and wherever I choose to save my safety backup it just...

Hi Bruce - no it's not been an easy transition for me either, but I think I'm getting there. I understand the software enough to animate confidently but I've not got into camera moves yet or explored the dope sheet but these are next. It's still not as intuitive as drawing on paper but I expect that...

Thank you Bruce. Yes I'm really enjoying TVPaint and Elodie has been especially helpful helping me to develop pencilly brushes etc. I'm 80% happy with the look but I still have that 20% to crack - but I am enjoying the challenge! The scene I'm working on now was animated on paper which I scanned in ...

Hello BruceM

I think you might just need to go to Edit > Preferences > Display > Timeline > and tick the box next to 'Display XSheet Tab' then it comes up next to the Project and Timeline tabs.

Have fun

Yes @BJTrakman the list is a great help and the videos are just brilliant.

The last place I have tried to save is into my dropbox. I press set and chose this pathway from the menu.

Here is a screen grab.

I have it set to 3 Backups. This works. On my hard drive I have the latest saved TVP project and 3 previously saved versions. Its just setting it to the alternative location that isn't working. Maybe I am wrong? I presume I should be able to save to 2 locations - so when I press save it saves to it'...

Hi Thierry - first I tried to set the server in my studio as the Multi-Backup and that didn't work. Now I am trying to save to the desktop and that doesn't work. FYI all my TVP files are on an external hard drive so this is where the original TVP file is and where it saves to when I press save. That...

Hi Ten-zero. Under the permissions information for this TVP project I have 'read & write' under my name. The other 2 - staff & everyone has only 'read'. Does this sound right?
