Yeah it worked great, started running back at normal speed and could continue with the animation. I appreciate the help!

<p style=”text-align: center;”>I see, that makes a lot of sense, I’ve noticed the large amount of memory previously when viewing the Task Manager. The pop-up does come up but only with small blurb about “using too many resources” with not much else. I’ll definitely try tracing on a new frame and seeing how it goes. I’m excited for the “collapse” feature though, it will help me out a ton in the future. Thanks for the info!</p>

No problem, and I did try to make it happen in the Alpha 7 and your correct, it didn’t work. I can’t even paste anything onto a layer unless it’s visible, and that’s great! I don’t have to worry about this glitch happening again. The dotted lines and “not visible” icon (the eye symbol with a slash mark, shows on the cursor) tells me it’s a non-visible layer.

Going forward I’ll make sure to stay up to date with the most current version of the software to not cause you guys to waste time into looking for issues that may have already been dealt with. I do appreciate the open feedback and once again, I love Animation Paper! Has made my animation projects so much easier to work with and a little more fun for me too. Goodluck to the whole team!👊

I did wonder about the lasso tool but didn’t try it out. It was the Cutter tool I used in that situation, I’ll give it another try when I get home from work. Although I did just download the Alpha 7 a few days ago, so I’ll see if it happens on that version too. I’ll have to reinstall the Alpha 6 and see if it still happens.

I’m using a Wacom Cintiq Companion 2 with Windows 8.1 Pro. Also Animation Paper v5.0 Alpha 6.

 

So the software crashed after I used the cutter tool. Specifically when I used it to paste a piece of linework to another layer. At first I didn’t notice the fact that the layer I tried to paste the piece of linework onto was not visible. So understandably when I tapped to paste, it vanished. Upon trying to undo it with “Ctrl-Z” the software crashed. This happens everytime I try to paste something to a not visible layer, when I was testing it out.

 

I lost 2.5hrs worth of animation material due to this glitch, but it’s also my fault for not saving more often as well. So I was very pissed at myself and the software. So I stopped working on my project for the rest of the day to chill out. On my retry the next day, I experimented with it to figure out what had caused the glitch. I’m all good now but I do hope this gets resolved on the next update, goodluck and I still love Animation Paper despite this mishap.
