Hi

When I use Shift and Trace, I wish I could choose those frames Im working on and back lights works only for those frames ( No I can’t manage this with “Backlight Customize” I am not talking about inbetweening 🙂

 

 

 

I’ll move frame 5 and later frame 9 but other frames makes things harder.

I hope I could explain my problem.

Thanks

Hi Bahadir – your post turned up finally! 😉 (Sorry again)

I think I get what you are saying. Thanks for explaining!

Just for clarity – couldn’t you do what you want by marking the drawings you want as “key” and then let the backlight only show the keys? But maybe that’s too inefficient.

Daaaa!…. Hahahaha oh man How did I miss it. Off course!. Thanks mate!.

Now I animate something a little bit advanced and I wish I could to see color differences for frames when the backlight is ON.

 

Ps: Never mind about Discord. U can’t use it in Turkiye 🙁

 

thanks

You just turn on Hue-shift, then your frames are different in color (hue). But this only works on lines that is already a color (blue, red or green – for now – custom colors too, when we have implemented support for that). Anyway, the point is that hue shift doesn’t work on grey/black lines, like you have in your example. I like this feature, because then you can deliberately choose to have some layers in grey/black, if you want it not to have colored (hue shifted) frames, while the ones you want to see colored in your lighttable can actually have it – simultaneously.

I hope I explained this well enough to not get too confusing! 😀

Ok I can use/do like that. NP.

I don’t mean to start a long discussion against what you’re saying. I really try to understand how you’re thinking. If I do in-betweening with backlight on, I like to draw black and see other frames other than black. How would you do in AP? What I understand is that you can use the black/grey layer only to clean up other layers…Or?

Thanks

Is it a problem to draw in blue? Because then you have your hue shifted colors.

I thought making it like this was a quite clever idea on my part 🙂

To clean up I would use black yes, but any color will of course work (technically speaking). To do it like you wish to do it, you would clean up in black, but have the previous and next drawings in that same layer be other colors when the backlight is on, right? That is not possible as it is now. I guess we could make it like that – but I’m not sure about this. 😉

I’m listening – if you care to go on with this discussion. It’s super interesting to me. But I of course respect your time too.

Sure I can draw in blue, not a problem at all. I think it became a habit after all the animation programs I’ve used.

Thanks

Alright! That is kind of a relief for me 😀 Do you find you are sacrificing something though? Or is it totally a matter of habit?
