... Now i simply copy everything related to TVpaint from that folder? Is the system.ini also necessary? I don't think so, you just have to copy the config.ini file, or better (who can do more can do less), the whole config folder, named "Default" or what ever folder's name if your current...

Try to change your preview settings :) I always calculate all my images before preview (using the "force proxy render" option), that way you never have lags (you just have to wait a few seconds before seeing your images moving, i think thats better than skipping frames during preview) I a...

what you're calling "selected" seems to be the cut brush tool,

... I forgot to duplicate the levels to make it darker! ... just for info, another alternative is to apply an Alpha correction to "harden" the drawing's opacity, (Keying/Alpha Control or Histogram/Alpha FX) it's particulary interesting when you want to control the blackness of the line la...

the camera zoom works as expected by draging in/out one of the 4 corners in the HUD, or by sliding left/right the mini-cursors to change the % value in the Tool: Camera panel, the scaling is made around the center, which one can be moved as well to pan the camera frame. the middle-right-side handle ...

the first thing to know is what's exactly the size of your punched anim-paper ?
if it's over the classical A4 format, the choice will be seriously limited ...
