Newbie question - Animation output is all distorted!
Posted: 29 Aug 2010, 09:14
Hello again,
Okay, so TVPaint is working magnificently for me, but every now and then I get the following problem. When this problem occurs, that entire animation sequence is lost for good.
Basically, here's my animation as I'm drawing it: http://a.imageshack.us/img842/7890/problem1.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; This is what it's supposed to look like.
Here is what happens when I export the animation as an .avi: http://a.imageshack.us/img59/8924/problem2k.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Here's what it looks like when I export as a gif. The colours are wrong (the eye is no longer white but pink) - http://a.imageshack.us/img59/4830/problem3m.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
What's going on here? As I say, this only happens every five or six projects, but when it does there is then no way to export the animation because all export formats are corrupted in some way. I've lost animations that are 60+ frames because of this issue, negating two or three days of work.
Here are the settings I'm using if that helps: http://a.imageshack.us/img59/9786/problem4k.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ...as you can see, the preview clip window is showing the colours to be all messed up here as well, despite it looking fine in the actual work window when I'm colouring it.
Any help would be much appreciated!
