Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Hello and good summer to all of you!

I am facing mysterious questions with TVPaint again ( just a simple newbie that I am..) and would much appreciate your help.

A strange thing is that when I slide through the coloured pictures with mouse no matter how fast or slow they look purely smooth and pretty. Instead of that when clicking “play” the quality becomes much worse. Something that looks disturbing and not pretty happens next to the lines. I have fixed all the smallest grey pixels that were left so they are not quilty here. I have made a whole lot of these colored clips by now but non of them have been exported yet. I thought that exporting could help and make them smooth. I have tried to export in some way but my computer refuses to open the files afterwards so I might do something wrong.. Can you figure what the problem might be?

The clips are hand drawn, the scanned, their width is 1920, height 1080, frame rate 25.000, Aspect 1.000, and Field: progressive.

Thank you already!

It's the proxy quality.
Click on the green bar in the top toolbar and push the quality up.
But too much may make it impossible to display all frames, so you have to find the best tradeoff depending on your computer.

Yes, it's the Proxy rendering setting in Preview. You can improve the preview playback quality by changing quality setting:
Or just render out a Quicktime to check on how the work-in-progress looks.

But you've tried exporting:

and for some reasons the Quicktime movie won't open ? That's peculiar. What export settings are you using ?

Try these compression settings for preview render to Quicktime: H.264 , 24 FPS (uncheck the box that says "Key Frame Every ____ frames" ) "high" or "best" quality . Open in QT Player or VLC to view.
