Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

...I am a fine artist, illustrator, breaking into animation and am a very new newbie to it. Also, I know I am not eligible for this great offer, since I am only just beginning to work with the TVP trial version and am very new to the forums. But What I need to know, if you can help me, is will I be...

I would like to see it this way: TVP is the software I am working every day with, I am doing my own projects, teaching with TVP, and some commercials, trailer and clips (if I got the time). So it is about 1,10 Euros per day/anno and not taking the 10.x updates (for 9.x they were free !) in account....

Yay, no more messing with QuickTime. And for Mac users, we'll now have Export remember our preferred settings right? Kudos for building a movie format internal to TVPaint.

I thought for sure the folks on Windows had the feature.
So it's an all platforms request

Thanks Peter, really appreciated. I'll play around with them.
It is hard to get the brushes in TVPaint to drag in a smooth, evolving morph over time, but they do loop the brush pattern really well.

This request is Macintosh specific: it would be great if the horizontal and vertical scroll bars on the Timeline could be scrolled with the roller ball on the mouse, rather than having to click and drag.
Not urgent but it would be nice.
Thanks,

You can use the test button to determine the data transfer rate of your temp drive.

This quote is from the manual, chapter 4 pg15.

I don't see a test button in my Preview Settings. Anyone know if it's still around and if so where it is?

Thanks,

I contacted dhomas directly and he says the Mac market for TVP is extremely small.
Let's get some more users on board and then ask him to program something for us.

I haven't gotten around to script writing yet (still somewhat of a newbie), but that's a good idea, thanks.

Thanks for this Paul. Youngmonkey says it only works on Windows

I recently posted a tech support question asking about viewing a frame or image in a new window. Paul mentioned that I could do this by modifying the project and keeping both windows open. A simpler solution (and perhaps less confusing) might be to have something like: "Open image in New Window...

Actually what I mean is can I open 2 preview windows for the 2 different frames at the same time?

In effect, like a new zoom window but for a different frame.

Sharon

I'd like to view frame image B from a different layer in the same clip while working on current frame A. Is there anyway to view more than 1 frame from the same clip at the same time?
Thanks,
Sharon

Thanks Fabrice! I'm excited to try them. Will let you know if they work for the film.
Sharon

Great. How do I do that?
