Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

drude, the v9.5 is free for the v9.0 owners (also the demo is online)

hehe thanks! i just updated to 9.5 - it's like a whole different look! and i'm reading the whatsnew.pdf and i see there's something with a camera tool, so i'll see if it makes sense!

did i not post a reply before? anyway, thanks!! i got my version updated! but i still dont know how to drag the image - it keeps being cut out. the camera tool seems to work though, but i can't move my image.

Please check the video tutorials on the website

with Camera tool, you need to think differently, you don't have to move the BG, but move the camera on a still BG :
make your project's size the size of your whole BG, and set your camera's size the size of your output.
... to learn how to work with the camera tool, have a look at the whatsnew.pdf (Appendix tvpa 9.5, p.13>15).
