    Hi, Andrew! Sure! 😉

    Click your first frame (first thumbnail in the X-Sheet), hold down Shift and select your last frame. Now all drawings are selected.

    Then go to the menu: Edit -> Cycle Selected Drawings Once

    Voila! 😉

    By the way: You can achieve the same, by again selecting all your drawings, and then use Ctrl C / Ctrl V (copy/paste).

    So you just exported png’s (instead of mov) from Blender? That’s great to hear. You have a good day too!

    Hi Ezekiel,

    Weird if you sent emails and I didn’t get them. Anyway, thanks for posting here and letting me know. I see.

    Cheers,

    Hi Ezekiel,

    Yes, we are going to soon implement import of mov and mp4 video.

    But already now you can import video as long as it is in the form of a sequence of png files or even an “animated” gif.

    Also, you can hear your audio if you scrub the playhead in the timeline below. And you can even scrub from anywhere if you just hold Shift and scrub left/right with your pen or mouse.

    Maybe you already knew these things?

    Best,

    Hi Kale,

    Animation Paper will soon be able to import mov and mp4 files directly. But that doesn’t help you now 😉

    So I would convert your mov file to a sequence of png files. Those can easily be imported. Just go to File -> Import and click the first png and Shift-click the last one, to select them all and import. You will automatically get a reference layer with your pond area camera movement.

    Hi Travis,

    I don’t know how much you know about AP – so maybe you know this already – AP has import for exactly this reason. When you import a sequence of frames (png’s, jpg’s or animated gif) AP will automatically put them in a special layer called reference layer. Then you just add a normal layer on top and draw your rotoscoping.

    But maybe you are asking about the need for importing a movie file instead? This will come soon. One of the relatively few things left on our todo list is import of mp4 and mov clips.

    Looking forward to your response.

    Thanks,
    Niels

    Hi Swati,

    Thanks for taking the time to do a screenshot. I am not sure why this blank page happens and why you don’t get your activation key. Our systems seem to work just fine here. Can I get you to try it again? Maybe even try it again with an alternative browser.

    If it still doesn’t work, I can register for you. I need your email and name (optional).

    Thanks,
    Niels

    Cutter tool and Lasso tool technically works the same in this regard, so just one or the other is fine.

    Yes, no need to test Alpha 6 – best to test the latest – because the problem maybe isn’t present in Alpha 7 anymore. Please let me know though! Thanks very much for your time!

    Hi again Gabriel,

    We are trying to reproduce the crash you are reporting. But so far we haven’t been able to. Mostly because it is not possible in AP to stamp a lassoed selection on to an invisible layer. I mean, you will get a “forbidden” cursor icon and it will just not let you do it. So are you sure that’s what happened? Can I ask you to try again and see if you can get it to crash – then let us know exactly the steps to do it?

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Best,
    Niels

    Thanks a lot G.

    It does help. I believe you might have a certain kind of older onboard graphics card, which for some reason is problematic in some situations. For some people this results in blocky “garbage” lines when they draw, and for some it can result in no lines at all, like you experience. I have only heard about the no lines problem 2 times before you.

    But no worries. We do have a way to fix this for you. But we need a bit more specific technical info. Please send me an email, so I can reply to you with info and instructions. My email address is the one you got your activation key from.

    Looking forward to your email. Hopefully we will have you all set in no time. 😉

    Best,

    Hi Gabriel,

    I’m sorry you had a crash and you lost 2,5 hours of work. Always super irritating and sad.

    This is an alpha version and therefore chances are it will have bugs like this. So you are right, you need to remember to save more often. With the next release (Alpha 8) we do have an autosave feature, so that will come in handy. 😉

    I am grateful that you took the time to test and reproduce the bug again the day after. Also you precise explanation is great. This makes it sooo much easier for us to find the problem and correct it. Thank you so much!

    Best,
    Niels

    Hi Gabriel!

    What kind of computer do you have? Model, graphics card, memory, screen? Do you have a drawing tablet, like a Wacom?

    Most important information is what kind of graphics card you have.

    Please let me know, and I will hopefully be able to help you.

    Thanks,
    Niels
