Light table image marks

Post by NathanOtano »

Yop!
If my english is not clean just ask... :D

Just an idea but would it be possible to have the light table working with consecutive image marks instead of consecutive frames?

Let's say i'm cleaning and i have duplicated my anim layer with blank frames to be able to navigate in my animation and choose which frame i'll clean, and to check my animation while cleaning. It's a pain in the neck to have to choose the right number in the light table to view the last/next cleaned frame with the light table, because there is a lot of inbeetweens that i'll don't clean after a while. We always clean the keys before... So i usually just navigate between marks and don't use the light table to do my inbetweens by flipping.

I can also just create instances each time i want to clean a frame but when i want to flip the rough frame by frame i have to go on the rough anim layer then come back to my clean layer. If i'm able to flip between marked instances and see only them, and if i can choose if i want to see 1/2/3 frames before/after (even choose the color of the image marks i want to see), i would feel godlike :)

I think what you are asking already exists:

On the lighttable panel just click on "intance" and select "image mark" from the dropdown menu
