Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

when I test one of my animations with the 'playback review' button, it plays back VERY pixellated. Is that just how it is with the preview, or is there any way to preview it at a higher quality? how closer to 'best' quality when previewing, is mainly dependent on your hardware. first of all, go to ...

Thanks slowtiger, but I think you misunderstood my question: I know how to copy a frame or selection of frames, what I want to do is, say, if I draw a face, I want to copy the eyes and mouth and paste them on the next frame... or another image... but I don't want to copy the entire frame. I agree, t...

yeah, I did look at Animo and Retas Pro. Animo looked pretty cool, but the info on the site was way to limited for me to really get a good grasp of what it was all about, and it's just wierd to me that they don't have the price on the site... you have to send them a message... strange. I prefer a pr...

Looks cool... does it work on a Mac?

Ahhh... nevermind... I figured it out. I had to convert the image layer to an animation layer... wierd.

Drawing lines. It seems to be alright... I think the look just takes a bit getting used to. Right now I'm having a whole other issue: I'm following along with one of the animation tutorials on the site, but for some reason the 'add image after' button and the 'duplicate image right' button are doing...

Thank you all for your insights, they've all been helpful and noted. Paul, I went to your website and I loved the animation of the film you're working on. As a matter of fact, when I had been on this site about a week ago, I saw a clip, which I now figure must have been yours, of a guy getting on to...

Ha ha. I draw decently... but limited (better than my spelling though!). Not nearly as good as some, but actually, I'm not nearly as good a musician as most either. What I excel in is putting my limited talents together in ways that make the sum of the parts seem like I'm much better at each seperat...

Cool. Thanks a ton for the replies guys. I understand entirely what Paul is saying, and I know exactly how it sounds with me coming and asking questions like "how is the camera going to move" and stuff at this stage, but perhaps to give you a small idea of what this project is and what I'v...

Thanks for your reply. The client is actually me... it's an independant film I'm doing. So, 1920x1080 is fine to work in? But the aspect ratio is a bit different than film, no? Maybe I'm a bit confused here, but when I watch a movie on a HDTV, there are still bars in the top and bottom of the screen...

Hi. I'm currently trying to decide between 3 different programs to animate a feature film. My choices are: TVPaint, Toon Boom Digital Pro, and Flipbook Pro. I have a few questions about TVPaint that I'm really hoping someone can answer for me: 1: Is the processing power it would take to work on a fi...
