Hi Sam, sorry for my slow response! For some reason your message didn’t pop up in my dashboard. Anyway…
Determining what resolution of your art/animation to go for – really depends on your projector. Any fairly modern projector will project in “HD”, which is 1920 x 1080 pixels.
Maybe the projector can go to a 4K output, if so you can go to 4K.
But actually I wouldn’t worry too much about the resolution, better to make sure it actually works with the projector, so I would go with 1920×1080 to be safe. Most people will not notice the difference in HD/4K anyway.
And by the way! A great thing to remember is that if you work in HD 1920×1080, after you are finished, you can always change your mind and export it in 4K later, thanks to the line rendering engine of Animation Paper you will get full crisp resolution with no degradation or blurring what so ever.
Good luck with your project and show!
Best,

Hi Beatriz, thanks for writing!
This is a known bug that manifested on some systems. It has been fixed a while ago. Are you using the latest version (Alpha 8.1)? (You can check by opening the About window.)
If not, you can download it here: https://animationpaper.com/download-pre-release/
If you do already have Alpha 8.1 and you still have the issue, please let me know, and I can help you further 🙂
Best,
NielsIn reply to: Cycle/loop Drawings
If you are using the “beyond last drawing” features, they are only about what to show after the layer ends (after the last drawing). If you set it to cycle, it will cycle the whole layer, i.e. all drawings in that layer.
If you want to cycle a particular sequence of drawings, you can shift-select the sequence of thumbs in the X-Sheet and hit @ (“Cycle Selected Drawings Once”). You can press @ a few times, if you need it to cycle a few times.
What! I just wanted to check this for my self and found a bug! If you select the last drawing first and then shift-select the first drawing (you get the sequence selected as intended) – however the selection goes away after the cycle command (so you need to select it again if you want to repeat the cycle command). If you select it first-then-last you keep the selection and you can press @ as many times as you like. 😀 We will fix…

In reply to: I need to shrink.
Sure, best way is to just start with the correct resolution. If you are doing shorts for Youtube, I would use 1080×1920 i.e. a vertical “portrait” aspect. On other social media, like Instagram, you can go with square, like 1080×1080.
So when you start your projects, make sure to go to the menu File > New Scene… and type in the preferred resolution.
If you need to change resolution on existing animation you might have done in 16:9 horizontal “landscape” aspect, you can experiment with the options in Scene Settings.
I hope this helps?
