Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

I know it's not possible to draw outside of the stage with the current architecture, but there is this trick where you make your comp 2500x1500 pixels (for example) and add a camera which covers 1920x1080 pixels.
Couldn't you use this "trick" to give us a let's say 500 pixel border around the edge, in which we could draw, without the bigger comp size and the camera-thing?

I understand your way of thinking the problem (and its solution).
But that would require some change in the engne anyway and would break some (retro)compatibility between .tvpp projects & software versions.
So even if we were working in this way (in fact, we have something else in mind), it would be for a new big version.

Ah damn, I thought something like this could be a easy fix, but thanks for your reply

I thought too as I had the same way to thinking some time ago.
But there are a lot of stuff involved. It's more or less like creating two camera in the same project.

ah, of course. I didn't thought about adding a camera into such a project.
