This is probably a silly question but I was I couldn't figure out how to save the fx bin. Actually, there is the export option and the "bin>add" option but then I have to save the effects after every little change I make. can't the program automatically save the list when I save my project?
thanks... =]

Not that I know of....what you want makes perfect sense but having said that, I don't recall in all these years anyone ever asking for this before.

actually, the FXstack is saved within the project file when you save your project.

But I don't think that helps when you save often so that you can go back to an earlier save -- or just the last save.

oops... it seems I've misunderstood the question, ... "save the list" ? what list ?
did he mean all the historic of the changes in the stack, from the project start ?
... or the list of the effects added and stacked in the bin ?

well, I was mainly talking about the current bin (although the history too could be nice...).
At first I thought it was saving the bin in the project but then I added a new scene, made a new fx stack for that scene, saved the project and there, it's gone (the new fx list).
I'm having a couple of scenes and wanted to save a different fx list for each one of em...

weird ... I made a project with 3 animated clips, each one its own fxStack,
then saved it (.tvpp format), closed and re-opened it, the 3 different stack bins are there, ... I can't reproduce your "disapearing" bin here.

.tvpp and the ability to remember all of the last settings came later in the life of TVPaint Pro. Which version are you working with Erayo?

I sometimes forget to ask it, the "preliminary" question ...

9.5.3 pro

I just did a test:
1) New file
2) Scribbled something out and changed it's duration to couple of frames.
3) Effects > KeyFramer
4) Added a key in first frame, then in last frame and moved the drawwing. (I didn't apply the effect)
5) Save project as...
6) I close TVpaint, reopen the file and I can't get the effect keyframes I put before, it's not in the bin.

Any ideas?

Yes, update your software...

Yes, that's a bug fixed almost one year ago.

So many features have been added since the 9.5.3 ... out of pegs, smooth of the lines, etc ...
