Hello, I am about to record a tutorial on how to use TV Paint as a Storyboard tool and wonder if there is a way to do something in TV paint.

1 is the current situation:
Drawing A, B and C are exposed 4 times

By default if I move the tail of A and reduce the expostion by 3 frames (example2), this will affect when frame C appears in time. C will appear in frame 6 instead of 9.

As in the example 3, Is there a way to move A's tail without affecting C?

this would definitely be helpfull for Lip sync work, when blocking the main poses for example. When you realise that one drawing is coming too early but the following ones are synced, it would be nice to hit just one key instead of three steps. Monkey Jam does that very nicely when you press the shift button I think I remember

Actually I just checked. When you press + or - Monkey Jam doesn't affect the next poses but it creates a empty space. CTRL allows to push all the poses instead.

Wait and see.

don't be so surprised, it has been asked, ... but backstage,
and it seems Hervé have heard this request,
and not only "heard" ...

hehe well I actually raised the topic few month back but was wondering if it had been integrated on the latest release.
