Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

I connected my macbook running 10.11.6 to an external display (1090x1080) and the color panel does not work properly. The color wheel is shrunk down to an unusable size (few pixels) and the color mixer and color picker also shrunk down. Disconnected the external monitor all is good again. Any though...

I have been using a wacom tablet's stylus to activate the contextual menu by pressing one of the buttons, but it is impossible to get access to this menu without the stylus (i.e. left click or right click + any button). I checked in the preferences but there is no option to enable this somehow. Norm...

Thank you for this detailed explanation.

Hi all. I am wondering if there is a way to eliminate a blue line (or any other color) from scanned sketches. In order not to create a new layer with the cleaned up sketch, but to import the rough(blue) and the cleaned up (black) line from one drawing. I know this can be done if the blue,red, etc is...

Hello trenino, in the timeline your can use "image marks" to mark your frames. Use different colors for "key" "breakdown" and "inbetween". Right click on a frame and select "image marks-> set mark". You can read more about it here : http://www.tvpai...

Thank you all for your answers and tips. Coloring for key conventions is a good idea. I am doing the Jason Ryan Animation tutorials, where he shows in the first video a simple bouncing ball. He uses the Xsheet in a simple program called Flipbook. He draws on the 1st frame, the 13th frame, and 25th f...

I am aware of the annotation area in the timeline, which is a more general place for notes, but I haven't seen yet in the videos or in the software the option to annotate the kind of frame, as it would traditionally be done in an Xsheet. From my limited understanding, this is a way that gives an ins...

Thank you Fabrice,

I am wondering for example, if it is possible to optically annotate the frames in the traditional way using just the horizontal timeline. Some annotations could be: K - keyframe, B - Breakdown, I - In-between, next to the corresponding frame.

ok. I found the answer. I should have searched the forum, first :D Unfortunately it feels very unintuitive and underdeveloped. I still wonder about this decision and how people deal with the timing. I am at the same time exploring the demo of Harmony and I really, really like the way the have implem...

As I am exploring the demo version of TVPaint, I tried to find the traditional XSheet but could not. Is it abandoned by TVPaint? For me, a total beginner in 2d animation and someone who wants to go through the traditional learning it seems quite important to have. I believe all basic books use the X...

Not necessarily. Because the working area of the Intuos Pro can be mapped to the entire area of your monitor ... so let's say you have a 19" - 24" monitor , you'll be able to draw on that entire entire area , but with iPad Pro you're limited to the screen size which is about 12.3" in...

Thank you both. Kiyaa, do you stil use the Intuos Pro Medium for your Professional work? D.T. Nether, regarding the size differences, the IPad Pro size is aprox. 305mm x 220mm , whereas the Intuos Pro Medium usable area is 224 x140mm. So if I understand correctly , do you suggest getting the larger ...

Hello all. I am a filmmaker who wants to start learning the art of animation. I am now learning on the demo version of TVPaint to see if I can eventually be any good at it, in order to purchase a license, as this is the software I am interested in using. Many years ago I did a short (very very basic...
