Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

When I start up TVP it lets me, no, it forces me to choose a frame rate (besides other stuff). This is nice for starting a fresh project, but somewhat useless when I double-click an existing project.

But what's the sense in asking for user's preferences when that choice is ignored gracefully? Each time I open a PSD file it's 30fps, a frame rate I never use.

I have a main project file with 25fps. Into this I need to bring hundreds of images. I can't import a layered PSD file into a layer because it will become only 1 single image. So I open the PSD file into a new project - which is, no matter which frame rate I chose in the prefs, 30fps. I transfer the images over to my main project - but either by copy&paste and by using keyframer, because of the different frame rates images are dropped. This is unacceptable.

Right now I have to modify the source project first just to change the frame rate - which takes long because my files are big. The deadline is looming, and every unnessecary step in he workflow is a real pain in the ass.

Make TVP respect user's settings, or give at least a pop-up warning with a choice when transferringimages between projects of different dimensions or frame rate.

ok, but stay cool with us

Be glad that you didn't hear me swear when I noticed ... I'm a bit stressed because my Mac crashes too often (Hardware failure).

Since we're at it: how difficult would it be to have real drag&drop import of images? DRagging one image or a bunch of images onto the TVP icon should trigger a window asking "Images to frames / images to layers", and then everything should be imported as if it were 72 dpi.

In the todo list !

Hi there,

Same problem here, we prepare our TVPaint files for animation at 24 fps.
But sometimes we have to prepare the Background on Photoshop first, and when we import the PSD file, the new project (wherease the Template is 24 fps) is 30 fps.
Fortunately we noticed the problem soon enough in the production, but consequences could have been worst :/

Hope TVPaint's team will fix the problem soon

Thank you Mabouh for notifying this bug. It has been asked already in the past. It's time for us to udpate the to do list about PSD files
