[DONE] Bookmarks

Post by Mads Juul »

I think bookmarks should simulate the wayypu work with paper animation:
After you maybe have sketch out, straight aheaded your animation
you take out single drawing and work on them, on your animation table
Keys and inbetweens. Especially when you are assisting it is crucial.
therefor the light table should also have the feature to only show the bookmarked frames.

I dont know if it is that important to have bookmarks for single layers
as mentioned in this thread
http://www.tvpaint.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=284" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
because in my work experience the bookmarks is set and cleared rapidly
and there are not used for navigation.
you could also argument for the reason for global bookmarks.
you dont have to put the same bookmarks on all your layers.

it could be nice to be able to switch between to different states
-normal state. stepping between original drawing and seeing the lightablenormal
-bookmark state: where you step between your bookmark frames and only see them in the lightable

But maybe this would be achievable with george/actions??

I don't think we have yet george commands to manage bookmarks ...

imho, I was thinking at a "FlipMarked" feature, as an option*
of the "Flip" (play Flipbook) button we have now.

*in preview setting panel.

By the way,

is there a possibility to lock the bookmarks to special keyframes, so they stay with the keyframe when you change your timing?

I also back up with the bookmark- lighttable funktion in association with the chance to mark diffrent frames for each level.
