Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

The solution was to drag anything I wanted rendered over to the right, and not before 00:00:01 as it's not possible to render anything before then in CLIP export. Curiously, CLIP EXPORT will disregard any HOLD or LOOP settings, and some kind of layer MUST be present right up until the OUT point. Sim...

Ok, I think I know why this is happening - if you drag a layer's handle left past 00:00:01, the time turns into something (23:59:59:23 ) that you can't even physically type into the export field lol. https://i.ibb.co/JFGZC6vX/Screenshot-2025-06-28-at-18-23-07.png D'oh. Gonna rework these clips to st...

So eg here, even though you can see I've set the OUT point to 7 seconds in the timeline, for some reason TVPaint 'Export Footage - Clip: Display' won't go past an old OUT point of 1:18 seconds, and I'm not sure how to tell it that there's a new OUT point. Even if I type in the numbers 00:07:00 manua...

Going to try and explain this as clearly as possible: So, I'm in the final stages of rendering my animated short to individual ProRes video files. I've broken the 8min short up into 5 separate projects to make it manageable. I noticed that some clips require more time in the beginning as I sometimes...

Hello Mikdog, I am still searching for a way to reproduce the skipping playhead bug. Not having much success, though :/ Thanks Dean. If I can I’ll try see more exactly how the playhead skip bug when previewing keyframer works, I suspect it doubles the frame number eg the skip is not so noticeable e...

Little update: I split up my long 8 min project into separate projects of about 1-2 mins each, about a month ago, and though I'm not yet finished with the project, since then [touch wood] from what I can remember, have not experienced crashes. Nice. It seemed to be the looong project that was maybe ...

Hello Mikdog, after trying many times at the office, I wasn't able to reproduce the issue on my end and a colleague of mine of MacOS wasn't either. I am currently still at Annecy, we are keeping this mysterious issue in mind and will do more tests when the team gets back. Super, thanks, enjoy Annec...

Very interesting find, I will check this on my end. Hi Dean, hope all well. Wonder if any luck figuring out the cause of the skipping playhead, please? I've cut down my project's size into separate projects, have been away but will report back once I get stuck in again on whether the playhead behav...

Hello Mikdog, could you upload your personal config.ini file so we can try using it in the office and see the bug, please? Wanted to share 2 vids to quickly demonstrate the KeyFramer issue which seems reproducible - playback normally works as intended, but as soon as I add KeyFramer, the playhead s...

In case useful - when *KeyFramer* is active, the playhead always skips ahead when previewing the effect, is [apparently] impossible for me to get the playhead to play from its current location, I always have to set the playhead back quite a long way back or play from the beginning of the clip.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I try not multi-task on the comp while TVPaint is saving. I must say, this is the first time I've lost a bunch of work in TVPaint (temporarily, luckily the backups saved me). I'm impressed at how fast the TVP engine is once the project is open and working within it. I've s...

So, sharing this more as a warning to others - make backups of your project!! I've been working quite happily in TVP Pro 11, barring the irritating 'playhead jumping ahead bug' which I posted about in another thread. Anyways, I have a 5 minute project that consists of 54 clips (scenes). I have a new...

Hi Dean, thanks, I DM'd you the files.

Nope - the issue has returned.

How do I solve this, please? Does anyone have any tips for getting the playhead to behave as intended, please? I'd be super grateful, I'd like to try finish my work and the tech issues seem to get in the way all too often.

Thank you in advance.

I'm on the latest, TVP Pro 11.7.5 Mac Mini M4. Working with quite a long animation project, I get multiple crashes pretty much every day. Not sure if it's memory leaks with the app or memory usage, but if I leave the app alone for any length of time say over like 40 mins to an hour, when I come back...
