Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

AH!!!!


ok. so it was my method that wasn't working. I opened the folder window... click on tvpaint - had the 2 windows side by side and without clicking on the folder (to NOT deactivate TVP), I dragged the file in.

BOOM! you are a genius. Thanks so much!!!

Problem Solved!

Hmm... make sense. Let me try right now!!!

Still have the problem.....

DOING IT NOW..... ohhhhh yeah. i will let you know if it continues.

Hi TVPaint Community, I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue. When i have a folder open and try to drag and drop a file into TVP - Sometimes the IMPORT window appears and sometimes nothing happens at all.

Thanks Soom. You guys have been super helpful. I'm going to move onto coloring/ FX's now. if i have any questions on that, i will create a new Thread.


THANKS EVERYONE!!!

Silly question... I should have known. I totally understand.


Cool. Thank you.

I haven't really tested the coloring yet.... bit im heading over there.

I did see a video today when I was researching painting - something called lazybrush. Looks pretty neat.

Link?... you can bring in a tvp file into after fx?

I responded before and I dont see my post. Yikes. Anyhow ... hopefully this one posts. I subcontract oit background artists who only have photshop... so they do a rough sketch.. I animate ontop... they clean and paint it. I then replace the rough.


Is that a strange technique?

Sorry, whats AS?

Hey Paul, I completely understand. Thats the way I work as well, but im wondering if TVPaint has that same functionality of replacing or updating an imported image. Do you know of a way to do that same concept in TVP?

Hi all,

Is there a way to import a jpg, then update / replace that same jpg later? For example, i put a rough background sketch in and later i want to replace it with the colored / clean version???

Thanks,

Thanks Soom. Yeah, im still exploring and everyone has been so helpful. Change is so hard sometimes, but necessary. I can see how TVPaint can speed up production, but I just need to figure out my flow from my years of old school style productions.

Thanks D.T. Im going to try that today and explore some more.
