linking colors to a palette?

Post by kariP »

Is there, or could there be a palette that would be linked to the colors?
F.ex if i have been drawing a movie, many scenes and the rest. Then the colorworld starts to evolv in my head and i want to change the hat color from red to green. In the whole movie.
Now i have to use the "replace color" fx in all the scenes, but if there would be a palette to where the colors would be linked, i could change the color there and the whole project would update its colors from there.
How would you do it?

Thank you!

It's a frequently asked feature, but unfortunately, it's not possible. Colors cannot be linked like a source.

Hmm.. okey, thanks for the info.
Have you considered impelenting this kind of option or is it too big of a task? Programming-vise?

As TVP Animation is a bitmap software, we cannot index colors. That's why we advise our user to put 1 color by layer =)
